Permanently Banned from Commenting on You Tube.

[TaraG]

I have only been using You Tube for about a year. I'm an elderly lady and certainly don't use violent language or hate speech. I had two warning messages a couple of months ago and never knew why, so I thought I was being especially careful. I got a message that disappeared so quickly I couldn't read it, and havent been able to post since. Is there any way to appeal this, or at least find out what I did that got me banned?

1. I would just make a new account.

2. In using the new account, a different browser may help.

just a thought

8. Thanks I'll try that.

12. Would thus be a new Google account, or just a new You Tube account?

Wouldn't they recognize same phone and info? Oh, well I may try it anyway. But I will definitely stop posting on the Russian troll sites if I ever get back on.

3. Welcome to DU!

Sorry about your YouTube woes. I've never set up a login there, so I can't shed any light on what they're thinking.

4. Just found these reasons:

YouTube administrators cannot help. Additionally, you can be banned from commenting if your message was flagged as spam. This action happens if you repeat the same comment multiple times, send links to external websites, or comment before watching a certain amount of the video.

Did you do any of these? Is it on one channel (the creator may have blocked you) or all channels?

[TaraG]

9. Nope, no spamming.

[TaraG]

14. And it is all channels.

5. I am curious now.

Sometimes I comment on You Tube thinking I will surely get a warning. Instead I end up getting positive replies. I don't understand it either.

6. No matter what the reason was, there's nothing you can do

YouTube is Google now, and Google is allergic to human intervention in anything. You were probably banned by an algorithm acting on some kind of pattern. Whether it was fair or not Google will not connect you with a human to challenge or correct the situation. They are infamous for this.

10. That's depressing!

7. Had you ever commented in favor of Dems or Dem causes?

The dark side may have trumped up something against you to get you axed.

11. I've posted a lot against Putin, and Pro Democrat

This may be it? Mabe those Russian trolls reported me. Or MAGA. They're just as bad.
