Hey Vlürch, did you create that unicorn avatar yourself? Is it taken from one of your Babymetalesque albums' art?

Hey Vlürch, did you create that unicorn avatar yourself?

No, it's this one unicorn painting with a bunch of slightly different versions around the internet; I'm not sure if the exact version I edited it from is any of the ones I linked, but I just replaced the background with a rainbow circle thingy and messed with the colours.

Oh, cool! I guess you left-right reversed the image?

I have never received a dislike or negative comment on any of my videos on my youtube channel before

How is that even possible?! I'm glad to hear, though, of course.

Shh, I shall let you know. *whispers*

People hardly visit my channel, it has few views

Something I discovered as I was uploading some new videos to my YouTube channel lately . . .

It seems YouTube is now screening video comments and rejecting them before they even show up. I've had quite a few comments that showed when I clicked the "Notifications" bell icon, but didn't appear when I actually opened my videos and read the comments section. One of the rejected comments asked, "Mental health issues"? Another was pornographic in nature and used four banana emoji. A third was on an Avril Lavigne parody I sang, discussing the conspiracy theory surrounding Avril Lavigne having died and being replaced with a Capgras lookalike.

Then there was a comment that mentioned my conlang Kankonian and praised my rock musical. It's really too bad that that one didn't post; I'm guessing it had something to do with the fact that the fellow included a URL linking to his Facebook group and the YouTube filter thought, "ZOMG spam!"

Reyzadren, Vlürch, are you two getting a lot of these "rejected" comments lately?

No, I have never received any of these comments or notifications.

However, I heard that there are other youtube users experiencing the same thing of having comments pre-deleted.

Hmmmm . . . weird. Sort of what I suspected. Spam clean-up, censorship, or just a bug?

Youtube's default setting is to hold potentially offensive comments and spam for review (you can change it to allow all comments being published immediately). So if you go to the Held for review tab, you might find some lost comments there. It is also my impression that you'll still be notified of comments that have since been deleted by the author. Can't say if any of this applies to your case, though.

Thanks -- this was helpful! I'll look into it.
