Why does Youtube delete posts?

[Rev. Rye]

So, are we sure this is something distinct from normal comment moderation?

Community Posts would be something like this where the channel in question has something to say, but doesn't want to make a video about it.

Probably. Sometimes I post a comment on my own video as a test and it does not show up.
If certain words are present, such as jewish or judaism, it used to immediately delete them. This is probably because such words were naughty words.
If you reverse the word, it deletes them.
One solution is to insert a word in the middle of the naughty word. Example, let’s insert banana:
ju banana daism.

and the comment passes through.

Eventually, they seem to have expanded the naughty words list. For example, if I talk about a certain nVidia GPU, if I mention Dell, Microsoft, Pepsi, Coca-Cola in a single, since I have too many company names, the comment is probably evaluated as naughty.

The comments might show up for 3 s and then it is gone. I imagine the owner of the channel is not actively reading comments. It might be a popular channel with 10 or 100 comments made per minute.
With enough manipulation of my comment, it would pass through.

^^^^That was the past.
Currently, it is not clear to me what Youtube is doing, how they are evaluating a comment.
Sometimes, the comment disappears and 3 min later, it appears.

Sometimes, I write a long comment, 500+ words and it just passes through.
Other times, no matter how much I manipulate a comment, it doesn’t pass through.

Do you use Youtube? Does it let your comments pass through all the time?

I watch YouTube, but don’t post there, even as a commenter. I have, however, seen LOADS of videos that bring up how hostile YouTube can be when it comes to… darker content, from demonetization to age restriction to just plain getting their channels nuked. And if they don’t bring it up directly, the effects come up when the creators have to use words like “un-alived” because their random-ass “advertiser-friendly” rules make words like “suicide” taboo. One creator I follow, SpookyRice, makes recap videos about extreme horror movies, and I can remember that he once made a video specifically about issues he’s had with YouTube’s content policies. His videos are censored, but he still sometimes runs afoul of the Powers That Be. In this particular video, he apparently talked about how a character in a film killed himself and used the s-word. They removed it, and somehow decided that Spooky himself was suicidal. The video is down,  but I remember it. Odds are, if you find any currently active Horror Youtubers, they’ve had to deal with similar issues. 

And why? Because, after Logan Paul decided to make his suicide forest video, they decided to clamp down on anything they deem not “advertiser-friendly.” On a related note, I’ve seen Cannibal Holocaust  on Peacock, and even that has ads on it. And it’s  the uncensored version, complete with the scene where they dismember a live (and it’s 100% real; I can even see its still-beating heart) turtle. None of the YouTubers I follow have ever shown anything that graphic, but they get more issues with advertisers somehow.
