newsYouTube psychotic AI is deleting comments
I posted recently about Mike, a guy who makes quilts for camping/hiking, getting overwhelmed and stopping taking orders:
https://bkhome.org/news/202107/wonderful-quilt-from-undercling-mike.html
Yesterday, I saw a comment from '26realmc' on "Dori's Hiking Adventures" channel, her video on Mike's quilt that she purchased:
"BEST VALUE SECRET QUILT"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtA7wT56ppQ
I posted a comment, just a few words, with link to my blog post.
Comment got posted OK, but a little bit later saw that my comment was
deleted. I sent an email to Dori, asking why she deleted my comment, and
she replied that she didn't. She checked in the "held for review"
folder, it wasn't there either.
So, I posted again, this time as a reply to '26realmc', no link this
time, just a short inoffensive text message, refreshed the page, and
once again the comment was deleted.
Tried a third time, different text, deleted again.
I have posted comments to YouTube before, and they have not been deleted, so what's up????
I did an online search and found heaps and heaps of people
complaining about this. This post gives some reasons that the AI uses:
...you have to click on "more" to see the full message.
It seems that the AI does not just object to certain keywords, but
also makes associations using algorithms that we know nothing about.
There is no warning, no reason given, nothing, the comments just
disappear.
As this guy with a YouTube channel has complained, people are blaming
him for deleting their comment, but he has nothing to do with it:
"YouTube is randomly deleting your comments"

I gave up trying to post a reply to Dori's video. This is very sad,
no, much more than that, very disturbing. Innocent comments getting
deleted.
