  • who turns off comments?

    From J. P. Gilliver@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 17 11:00:52 2023
    I always assumed it was the poster who turns off comments, but I've just
    seen one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScELaXMCVis) where "Comments
    are turned off.", but the text starts "Please keep comments"…, so
    obviously the poster was expecting comments; so, what gives?

    And who impedes commenting???
    My comments don't get through. (Once I tried various times, in vain, and
    got a spam warning from YT. I'm a regular contributor, moreover!)

    Mine mostly do. I've occasionally had an "if you post like that we may
    ...", or even a day's ban - but they don't tell you which comment
    triggered it, so it's not very informative. (The last time, I definitely couldn't think what I'd done in the last few hours which could possibly
    have been naughty; most of my comments were informative.)

    I'm also puzzled why it often shows a number of replies higher than the
    number of replies it shows (including sometimes showing there is a
    reply, but when you click all that happens is the little blue arrow
    turns round, no reply actually appears; even if someone had somehow
    entered a null one, it ought to show their username).

    Thank you. Yet another example of "your questions and complaints can be
    sent... nowhere (we can send you ours, however)".

    My guess is that the video was marked as "For Kids", which turns off the comments and fills the sidebar with garbage. Either that or it somehow
    violated the ToS.
