I understand you're saying the bots/algorithm might still delete it or flag me for it, but it would still be helpful to try it anyway since that's already happening for me so it can't really make it any worse than it already is. If you happen to know some of these "homoglyph" alternatives, that may be really helpful.

But in this case I wouldn't be spamming if I was just posting innocuous comments that happened to be formed with homoglyphs, right?

Interesting, so you're saying if I use alternate homoglyphs as you describe them, the system will detect those and flag my account or something? Seems unfair of the algorithm to do that considering I'm already unable to make normal comments in a lot of cases, but of course the whole problem is the algorithm not working properly.

But I'm just wondering if it's possible it wouldn't detect those alternate characters and I could comment normally (using homoglyphs), since I'm already unable to, it might be worth a try. I guess the definition of spam can vary, but it's not like I would be posting a lot of comments, just a regular amount, or even a low amount.

I don't know what alternate text format works because the ones I've tried haven't.

So for example, one that visually looks like the Latin/English alphabet, but which wouldn't be detected as English characters because it's in a different enough format.

Sorry, I meant an alternative text format. I don't think ChatGPT is capable of doing those. Like, variant text characters.

Okay thanks, I'm sorry if I misinterpreted your comments. It's hard to tell in this thread with a lot of people being mean to me and not wanting to help and just trying to find out what they've already decided that I'm saying something problematic when I'm really not. I might confuse someone who is actually trying to help so I apologise if that's the case.

I don't understand why if my account is flagged (which I don't know why it would be), I can still make some comments but not others, and if I change the wording or separate them into different comments, they can sometimes work. And for completely innocuous stuff.

But to be clear, you don't know of an alternate text script that might work? That would be really helpful.

I appreciate if you're genuinely trying to help. But it seems like you're just trying focus on other things to avoid actually answering what I'm asking, which is about alternate scripts, which I know is the only solution to my particular problem.

That is, no matter what I say, you wouldn't consider alternate text scripts regardless and would just try to find other ways to avoid comments getting deleted, which I know won't work because it's just like every few comments gets deleted for no reason and they're all different kinds of comments. They can be helpful, supportive, thoughtful and engaging, and still get removed.

So you have no intention of helping me find a text script that would work under any situation, even when random comments are getting deleted? I'm just trying to understand what you're saying.

ChatGPT wouldn't work because random comments get deleted all the time, there's no reason to think that auto generated ones wouldn't either. There seems to be no identifiable pattern to why certain comments get deleted.

You can, you just don't want to. What is stopping you from helping me? At least be honest. If you had a solution for an alternative text script that worked, you could just provide it. I did my best to give examples already

I don't know why that would be but it only happens on certain, random comments. Sometimes it's if I mention a brand or company or institution of some kind, without any criticism or anything, a mainstream company, other times just completely random stuff that's not even referencing anything in particular. Shadow deletion I guess, but I have no idea why.

How is trying to explain that it happens on random comments and doing my best to produce examples of "average" "random" comments being evasive? "This channel has helped me feel sane lately." "Frogs are crazy how they move". If you don't believe me, whatever. It's literally just random stuff. If I change some words, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I don't know why that would be but it only happens on certain, random comments. Sometimes it's if I mention a brand or company or institution of some kind, without any criticism or anything, a mainstream company, other times just completely random stuff that's not even referencing anything in particular. Shadow deletion I guess, but I have no idea why.

I literally answered to the best of my ability. I'm so sick of repeating myself by now to so many different people. Please read my other comments for more information. If I say completely basic, normal, random things like "Toshiba TVs suck" or "I love it when people dance like their legs are crazy straws" or whatever random stuff it gets deleted. Completely random things with no apparent logic to it. See other comments for more info. I don't know how else I can explain it. It just happens on random comments.

Your comment assumes that something would have to be crappy for YouTube delete it. You leave no room for the possibility that the comment deletion system is broken and can often delete completely harmless comments for no reason, I guess for some people more than others for no discernable reason. I'm considering the possibility of it being location-based as well. Maybe I should use a VPN, or not use a VPN. Or I don't know. But you are just so confident and sure of things and making a lot of assumptions which are false.

Don't let this comment go un-downvoted! Don't think, just downvote quiiick!

Since your example isn't accurate, I'll modify it to make a more apt analogy.

Cust: I am looking for a passage of text from an obscure book.

Clerk: Ok, what is the book you are looking for.

Cust: It's called "Ancient Unholy Incantations"

Clerk: oh, why do you want that book? Why why why?

Cust: I can't really say because it's various things I can't really remember.

Clerk: Tell me! Or else I can't help. I physically can't. It's not that I don't want to because I don't believe your intentions are good and need convincing. Something... would prevent me from doing so.

Cust: Ok well it's sort of for a lot of different purposes, like just random stuff, maybe for making my dog happy, or for helping grow my garden.

Clerk: No, no, tell me more! What is it? You haven't given me enough information. I can't help you!

Cust: Are you sure it's not just that you don't want to because you assume my intentions are bad?

Clerk: You are alt-right!!!

I thought you said cunt, lol.

Sorry I've kind of given up trying to get people to believe me or help me.

There's no reason you can't theoretically provide a text character that allows to bypass random YouTube comments deletion, unless you don't want to.

And like I said, it's lots of random comments. I could say something like "Honda is the best car" and it gets deleted. Or, "Wow this guy must be taking creatine". I'm using random examples because that's what it is. Literally just random stuff.

Maybe you'll empathise, maybe not. Be sure to downvote my comment though ;)

Well gee, thanks. I mean you literally know nothing about me except that I'm experiencing a weird technical issue on YouTube where a lot of comments I make get deleted when they're completely harmless. I would never say something as mean as what you just said for example. I don't assume bad things about other people. And I don't say anything problematic. I have solid ethics and I don't even say anything controversial on YouTube. I'm only saying this to defend myself against accusations and negative assumptions. No one believes me. What if no one believes you? I would believe you. One day, you might be in a similar situation. If I'm there, I'll believe you. Sorry it's been a long day.

Are you saying that's what I'm doing? I honestly can't tell. If you think that no matter what I say, I'm assumed to be a troll anyway, then I guess I can't win. I did my best to clarify. My situation makes sense to me. I mean, I don't understand what's happening to me with the YouTube comments and why, or what the criteria is. But if I saw someone saying what I'm saying I think I would believe them. Saying you don't know whether you believe me or not is one thing, and that kind of hurts. It's more hurtful that people are 100% not believing me and assuming the worst of me. Do you actually think I'm a troll? Even now? Man this is crazy.

It's absolutely technology. It's not the creators, they've confirmed to me that they're not doing it. It's an instant deletion thing, and it's just random comments that mention different products or things, or often not even that, just basic sentences. I never know when it's going to do it or not. For example any of the comments in this thread could easily be deleted for me. It's completely nonsensical, a broken system. How do you have so much faith in technology? Also, maybe it has other influence like YouTube or governments or vested interests, who knows. I'm not going to go conspiracy mode because I don't think like that. There could be some kind of criteria to it that I don't understand, but it's acting through auto-moderation bots on YouTube. I don't know why. I don't have the answers, that's why I'm asking for help.

Do you need to have been in a situation yourself in order to empathise with it?

Furthermore, must you understand something completely in order to provide help?

Look this is a free platform and I appreciate people even commented on this post. But these comments assuming the worst of me and not believing me that my comments are harmless and refusing to even want to help are hurtful. It makes me feel like, what if someone was being attacked by AI in a really crazy way. Not that this is that. But, have mercy on that person. Because if people choose to trust in technology more than human beings, I think we're honestly doomed.
