Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view


The @AudiophileJunkie, @MillerscarbonsTheAudioFiles, and other wanna be audio influencers on YouTube have now taken to the practice of hiding comments made, on videos posted by them, from public view. These non-offensive and non rules violating comments are not visible to the viewers. This is very troublesome as this makes commentary and the value of displayed comments of little value. If the only comments left are all in alignment with narrative that the video poster is stating then why bother having a comments section? The world as we know it is incrementally veering away from the freedoms of expression that we once had and enjoyed. When you exercise censorship on dissenting opinions, your suppression and restrictions artificially steer the narrative to a police state style herd mentally. Very disappointed to see the deliberate erosion of freedom of speech and subversion of opinions & free commentary. Another step in the wrong direction. Those who want to be puppet masters should first take notice of the strings on their back.

@carlos269 -- Carlos, I don't know how long you have been an Audiogon member, but if you weren't around for the CD (Chuck Days), you will never appreciate the AC (After Chuck) days here on this Forum.  There have been some argumentative blowhards on this site, but Chuck (aka MillerCarbon) was next tier.  It doesn't surprise me that he curtails freedom of alternative thought on his YouTube channel -- he has a long history of demanding the last word and belittling anyone who disagrees with his edict.  He almost drove me from this site, but I'm too much of a hardheaded East Tennessean to give in to a bully.  Plus, people like @jasonbourne71 offset the "Chucks".

 

Happy listening!
