Since I have a new browser version now (always annoying as hell to deal with the changes for the worse), I can send support forms properly, and the time also seems worthwhile to try. And while the support form said a response should happen within days but might take longer because of high load but they encourage people to try it anyway, unexpectedly my request was processed within minutes.
I guess they might have considered it still too dangerous even for mere viewing that I was linking to alternative media on it. 🤷♂️ And/or that people could see there was no "unusual activity" to be worried about. As usual, my updated web presences list is on dowlphin.de.
7 days ago I posted this: youtube.com/post/UgkxHVBf... Now, as predicted, the documentary "Ukraine On Fire" has been removed, claiming "This video has been removed for violating YouTube's policy on violent or graphic content". Whether that has some merit or is complete bullshit, you decide. But we know that double standards are core part of the rules. - There are other sources for watching it.
UPDATE: Seems it is back now, with content warning.
Twitter giving me bullshit, want to coerce lockout / harvest phone number (Which is not available!). Undoubtedly politically motivated in one way or another, considering the timing and that my account is perfectly fine. You can see how all gloves come off now that they are locking out critique. This also means they can suppress news of demonstrations if NAZO governments get bold and force further fascist power grab measures through where previously they didn't have their warmongering madness to 'captivate the masses' into compliance. We have seen step-by-step more severe passive-aggressive measures being implemented by Twitter.
Here you can still find uncensored news: odysee.com/@RT:fd I signed up there now and am commenting as lively as I did here on YT. I also got a channel there, but not really using it as means for publishing (yet): odysee.com/@Dowlphin:5 Merely got a reupload there as test. - Things work a bit differently in their system. But at least they don't require a phone number for even merely commenting like Rumble does, although Rumble seems to be of more conventional design, closer to Youtube.
Youtube being Youtube again: Recently I was surprised how there was no new suspected spam comments in my queue. Now today I check again and suddenly about a dozen or more comments from up to a month ago are listed there as blocked terms or suspected spam, stuff that is absolutely in no way, in the least possible or likely way anything like spam. (I greenlighted those now.)
It was nothing I would have responded to, but it could have been.
If you want to make sure your comments aren't hidden/removed, you'll have to check again after >30 seconds, and ideally use the top-first sorting again because it might be shadowed only there. It's tedious and impractical. I personally use an obscure Google My Activity page - "Your Youtube Comments" that I probably cannot link here probably and am too tired to deal with.
In any case this is another fresh reminder to not get stupid like I was getting already when I assumed that maybe the algorithm has gotten less insane lately. No, it could still affect any comment, unpredictably.
I took Dr. Eric Berg DC off my recommended channels list because too often lately he has made very crude and false statements instead of going into details, so while I personally are very critical in all the information I encounter, I don't want people to assume the guy is a paragon of wisdom. A lot of his info is useful, but especially then, and with how well he is doing, he could put more scrutiny into his work instead of pushing quantity like crazy and diminishing the long-term value of his content with tons of redundancy.
What ultimately pissed me off was that he once again claimed that modified food starch is "also known as MSG" (monosodium glutamate). When in fact at best MFS might contain some glutamic acid (effectively natural glutamate) since that is a natural component of very many foods, and so moderation is key, as in so many things. And interestingly it is particularly high in nutritional yeast, which he keeps promoting enthusiastically.
I think I will unsub from him now because I have watched a lot of his stuff and learned everything I need, and he mostly just keeps regurgitating material.
Don't idolize anyone. Keep your skeptical, discerning mind active.
Personally, due to many life experiences, I have resorted to applying the weakest-link principle to judging people's character: A chain is only as strong as its weakest part, and how true someone's seeming principles are is revealed only when tested for their weakest points. - As the saying goes: It is easy to be a saint in paradise. (And this then also leads to my model of the karmic balance sheet where what good you do has to be seen in relation to what bad you supported to be able to do that good.)
Prime example of Youtube's spam detection expertise. Meanwhile, 50 copies of an identical root comment, meme-level cookie-cutter botted crypto spam threads and the most obvious porn ads imaginable including with dubious URL links tend to stay. At the root it is all fear, and it does what is poetically described by 'the Devil perverting everything into its opposite'.
