It's ironic that your video about a comment being removed for mysterious reasons has a comment on it that is blatant spam, complete with a link to a porn site.

It's unfortunate that it's probably impossible to get an actual human being from YouTube to explain exactly why your comment is being removed.

What was the comment? You tube seems to have removed the video.

I don't think it's the spam filter. I've seen this a few times before - MoistCritikal has also documented this exact thing.

I think it's a bug in their ingestion pipeline. Just a guess. Or maybe it really is an edge case in their spam detection garbage.

Thanks for doing the work. I'd do it, but, don't want to risk have my google account banned for life, only to wind up making a thread here begging for a human to review it.. I'm sure they've badlisted things based on previous campaigns.. and now it's just stuck in the badlands forever.
