I corrected a holocaust believer on a YouTube comment and my comment disappeared in front of my eyes. I've also noticed that certain content is being blocked in some apps on my phone. I have not experienced either of these things until today.

I also suspect that the holocaust comment I was responding to might have been written by AI because it felt forced and out of place.

Some strange shenanigans going on here.

Youtube has extreme censorship at this point. It shadow-deletes about half of BENIGN comments. Your comment on the holocaust has like 95% chance of being deleted by youtube's AI. It will be visible to you but no one else. If someone is replying to you, you can still see their comment even though it has been censored. I point it out to people when that happens, which is quite often, and their response is incredulity because they've said nothing objectionable. When you make comments on youtube you should do so with the expectation that there is a high likelihood that no one else sees them.
