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.

Is anyone surprised that youtube is just a commercial that you volunteer to watch?

They are just shaping the comments to fit the narrative of what they are selling.

Sadly, it's not just Youtube, feel like most of the world is doing this now. You have a different view, it just disappears. 

Business are not countries; they are not prevented from blocking anybody they want to, nor should they be. You may have 'free speech' from the government, but businesses are certainly not required to allow it.

has paved the way to Audio Nirvana .light up or leave me alone -as Traffic would say !

It's left up to me to decide what reviews are valid or just entertainment. Comments have always been monitored. Nothing new.

The best quote I've heard that sums up the current hypocrisy... "I don't believe in censorship but I really don't want to hear what they have to say."
