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.

Millercarbon was / is a bag of hot air, the king of junk tweaks. He would promote a Sandwich-bag of baloney put on his best in the world tekton speakers. We’re all entitled to our opinions I’ve certainly got a few. To a point he was laughable the useless Dribble did saturate, I’m glad it’s gone. 

Cheers

jays audio restricts  comments, you can clearly see only favorable comments are seen. 

Also ocd hifi does the same thing. If you read the comments, once in a while they'll be someone who has concerns and then that immediately is no longer the case. You can figure out that person has been blocked.

Image conveyed positively that all, YouTuber probably self-serving with his own comments too.

Great video guys. It's a great product

 

When Youtube reviewers morph into retailers you can understand the need to remove negative comments. The obvious Red Flag is when they criticize brands they don't carry or claim they no nothing or have never heard a highly regarded popular component. 

I don’t agree with removing or restricting comments selectively- better to simply block them all. Regarding ocd Mikey, he’s not a reviewer and doesn’t claim to be. He’s a seller and makes that very clear. He’s upfront about his business. 

I actually learned a lot from MC, it’s too bad that he injected politics and especially some shakey COVID stuff into his posts (as a march 2020 adopter of the high test version, with permanent consequences, this bothered me a lot). I am not a Tekton guy, but he did offer some insight into turntables and vibration control especially. I will have to check out his YouTube channel.
