I'm surprised they are that permissive. Are you sure they aren't shadowbanning you? That means you can see your own comment. but no one else can. That was done to more than one Congresswoman, who didn't like it one bit. Or to be even sneakier, maybe 10% of the audience can see it. Twitter actually had a policy about shadowbanning Congresspeople.

Youtube routinely hides 45% of replies to comments so censorship is both rife and prevalent.

Yes - I always wondered why YouTube was not showing me all the responses to the comments. Their censorship is insidious indeed. When I browse the internet, I'm probably not even aware of what I'm NOT seeing - of what is being censored and made invisible. This leads to us forming incorrect perceptions based on a limited set of opinions and biases. How does one combat this?
