What's really frustrating is RUclips does not provide an explanation regarding why a comment is not appearing. Instead it just does nothing. Extremely frustrating.
@@jtzr1371 yes! They've really been hitting it hard recently. My theory is the use of certain words (keywords) that the AI automatically hides. I can only see certain comments in my notifications, but when I click on the comments section that says it has...say 10 comments, there might only be half or less. There's also the possibility of all the spammer bots getting reported and the comment gets hidden.
I had this issue just a few minutes ago and no matter what I did comments didn't show up. It did that on 3 different accounts and on different devices and different channels/videos. After trying to figure it out for a half hour, the comments just started showing up out of nowhere. I don't know crap about software but it might just be some kind of lag? Try again in 30-60 minutes
Unfortunately, none of these apply to the problem I am facing with YT comments. What I am noticing is that when I scroll down to the comments under the videos, I read the initial comment, but when I click on the replies to that comment, not all show up. For example, it says "View 20 replies" but when I click on that only about 6 replies show up. I know this is not only happening to me because I have heard other people complain about the same issue.
Yep, I am getting the same, even on comments that are responding to me. If i click the user themselves and see their latest posts then I can sometimes see one that doesn’t show if I click directly on the thread.
The issue for me is that the replies to people's comments get hidden, even when I say to show them. It will say "4 replies" but then there's only one reply visible. Not always, but it's happening more and more.
You forgot the one that causes 99% of the issues with "my comments don't appear on other people's videos". Namely, *THEY* have the video set to "hold comments for review". Solution: nothing can be done by you
For me comments appear but responses do not unless I go up to the top of comments and select "Sort by newest first", but then the comment you made vanishes to the bottom somewhere and you have to take an hour looking for it. None of these solutions worked for me here. RUclips functionality is beyond idiotic.
@Kyle Hill RUclips employs some of the greatest programmers on Earth. There is no way this bug is accidental or unfixable by them. I'm a programmer myself and after contacting RUclips about the problem of comments not showing, I did actually get a reply from their representative Charlotte, who - and I'm not kidding here - insisted there was no problem at all and it must be my settings on my browser that was at fault. Whatever is really going on here, I can promise it's not going to change for a long time, at least until RUclips accepts that there IS a problem of user's comments simply not showing.
@@RedBanditOfficial and I was just letting you know that it was showing ok!!!!!!!! You're on a video about comments not showing (I can't believe I had to explain this to you)
My issue is a little different. I don't know how or why, but on my videos, sometimes it will tell me that I have a comment, allow me to read the comment in the notifications bell, but then the comment doesn't show up under my video. It will say the amount of comments, but not show it. And this is only for some comments. They don't have bad words or anything in them. Just regular stuff. I have all comments enabled too.
Same issue. I even got an email with the comment, but when I go to my channel, it's not there, even though the video says "1 comment," which does not appear below the video.
I've noticed on certain videos that it will say for example 4 comments and when you click on the comments to read them that only 1 will show or even none will show. Now this is telling me that even when the comments go up to let's say 645 that you will not actually see 645. So in effect some people are having their comments shadow banned.
click on your channel name and then click send feedback and let youtube know they have an issue on their side. Lots of people having this problem right now.
My issue is that I’ll get a notification about a comment and then when I click on the comment to reply or hit a heart it won’t be there. I’m certain the person hasn’t deleted the comment. It just won’t be there for me to respond.

I assumed my account was Gulag'd by RUclips, and that each post was being run thru an auto-bot-algo to see if it contravenes tos. [I've had a few warnings about tos violations.]
Yes I'm quite sure RUclips engages in these Gulag tactics. No question. It happens to be all the time, and I never post profanity or threats or anything remotely questionable. Only truthful insights and comments. Yet, a good percentage of the time, especially when I may have spent a good amount of time writing my paragraph, it NEVER appears. It's all pretty outrageous. Another outrageous thing I'm seeing lately: a great many videos now start with a LONG forced ad to sit through. I suffered through a few of those, but no more! Even if the topic interests me, I refuse to be abused this way to sit through a full 2 minute ad video first! I back out and leave!
I have another strange issue: when i go in the comments section of a video, youtube will show me only recent comments, even if i'm on the setting "show popular", and that is so annoying, i can't discuss about the topics on the video because yt won't show me popular comments, but instead it order them in time, and i have to manually scroll all of them to find something interesting.
I don't post videos. My issue is with the comments I post on other people's videos. I don't think viewers can see my posts (?) because I get zero upvotes or replies to my comments, when other people's replies are getting upvotes. I can see my comments usually, but they are the lone ones with "no action on". A few other times my comments seem to disappear, but that isn't often. I used to engage in conversation with all sorts of people who would upvote my comments and have tons of replies. Now I get zero notifications (the bell) of replies combined with zero upvotes. I went into settings, and I have everything turned on. What is the issue?
Me too on certain comments of certain videos. No inappropriate posts, no foul language etc so it's extremely frustrating. How this one is staying and others being deleted is unknown.
Life saver!!! For me it was definitely the whole "children content" thing, which is absolutely ridiculous seeing as I don't make videos, period. I couldn't see comments on anyone's videos, but it only started this morning. I don't even have children, so I have no idea why YT would feel the need to block a 30+ yr old from reading comments. Thanks so much for helping us!
RUclips are pleased to have you equate gaining knowledge or participating in conversation with being a pederast. Their specific mission is to destroy reality perception. Their loyalty is to the govt. of the United States, governance of your will is an efficiency subset to this. This was in the works in the law but began of course in earnest 21 years ago.
Oh my goodness! Here are the comments at the bottom of the page when they used to be right under "show more." Don't you hate when updates mess us up??? Thank you!!!!!!!!
@@criconinvestments7723 Happens to me really often as well, it can say "2 comments", but it either shows only 1, or none. It's even more annoying when it says X number of comments, and you can't see them all, but several others have replied to users whose comments aren't even visible to you.
The main issue these days is yt censorship. Censorship is dishonest. So is shadowbanning. They don't even tell you WHICH comment got you blocked for 24 hours!
Well I have an issue where comments are being made as shown in my email account. Clearly there is comments being created somewhere but they do not show up in the youtube video comments on a desktop browser or mobile or anything. They are not being held for review or anywhere. They just don't show up. This is so convoluted the way it works, it should not be this difficult to use. That's kind of the whole point in all of this. Views and comments. I did check the settings you mentioned and it makes no difference.

@@p1nkun1k0rn9 I've been a programmer my whole adult life and after weeks of trying to identify what the cause of this is, all I've discovered is it's not the user's fault, it's not because you've been flagged as a spammer, it's not an issue with your browser. It's quite simply a screw-up by RUclips's programmers. Your suggestion of sending feedback is the only thing that is likely to get them to fix it.
Well this stranger problem for me. I am able to see my comments on a video, but when I go comment on a community post. My comment just disappears every 20 seconds on this main account. Plus it says comment added and it then disappears.
The problem I'm having is that while my initial comments are visible to everyone, my replies are only visible to me when I'm logged in; when I log out, the reply is nowhere to be seen. I've tried replying to comments from other accounts and still have the same issue.
I'm sure you've noticed that when you make any comment on RUclips now, it immediately will get responses as it should but a few days later, it gets no response whatsoever. That's because nobody can see your comment anymore except you.
Well on a youtube short, if a reply to a comment is long it will go off screen so I need a way to turn the short into a video or make it multiple lines. Please help it annoying
They delete all my replies. Even when I do random tests like thumbs up emojis or smile emojis. Now when I reply to comments I copy and paste the reply and quote what I'm relying to and repost it to the main comments section. What is annoying is the fact I'm a premium customer.
We all know about general comments not being seen but whats important is that my comments are being personally discriminated against by YT because they are more honest and blunt than other sheople living by yts community standards.
Censorship? I literally typed: “can you see my comment now? I edited it or reposted it.” And people still couldn’t see it! What’s in there for it to be considered censorship?
Thanks for making this video. I went through all five of those steps and everything was set correctly, as per your video. My trouble is that, on my desktop, when I go to my channel I see that there are comments on my videos. But when I click in to read the comments and communicate with my audience, it says there are no comments. This only happens on some of the videos, while on others I click and see the number of comments the menu says should be there. Any ideas?
I'm currently going through the same thing. The initial comments will show up but after I respond if they comment back the new comments won't show up after clicking the notification
@@mightytree1 click on your channel name and then click send feedback and let youtube know they have an issue on their side. Lots of people having this problem right now.
I know this is from 2 years ago, but this just happened to me this year. And nothing you said in this video is working. I am unsure if my message will even post here, as it's hit or miss now.
I really appreciate the video but unfortunately none of the steps fixed my issue. I can see/have comments on videos but there are several times I get a notification of a comment and the comments don't show up for me to respond to. I have nothing restricted, all comments allowed, nothing is being held for review- I checked. I cleared my cache/cookies, tried other browsers, uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Nothing works for the few comments that get made that don't come through.
Thanks a lot I don't remember turning anything off on my RUclips settings but whenever I went to RUclips in settings on my phone camera microphone and network were all turned off. I turned those on and it worked I closed the RUclips tab on my computer and it worked this was really helpful! You have earned a sub 👍
Possible solution for those who tried everything and couldn't find a solution, please read. I had the same problem, my comments all the sudden stopped showing, like I put a comment on a video I can see it, but my friends can't. The comment was visible for my eyes only and when I check again, it is gone. Same with live videos, comments are visible to my eyes only. So I thought I maybe wrote something silly in the past that youtube decided to block me now from commenting and I remained a year like that, until I discovered this strange reason. It was actually because I was using a specific phone. Yes, this account I'm. Writing from now from some reason doesn't show comments when done that phone. So now I'm using a different phone but dame account. It is unexplained why RUclips works on one but not the other. It doesn't make sense, but I hope this solve your problem
It's really a hit and miss. While I only watch RUclips on my Windows laptop (never in a mobile app), I tried posting with the same account from a different computer but some of my comments were still getting deleted randomly. I never spam or post anything political, in fact I was posting on some boring computer programming video. Turned out that YT deletes messages with the words GO and TO next to each other. Presumably considered a common phrase used by spammers. lol Crazy isn't it?!
When I write a long comment (eg 20 lines), I read through it after posting, and if it has error in it, I edit it. Then I continue reading the rest of it, and if I come across another error and edit it a second time and save it. Everything looks OK, but I get a message in red at the bottom of the comment saying that it wasn't saved. At this point, the only thing I can do is to cancel it - and it's gone! The only thing is to re-write it, so now, every long comment I make, I do in an editor first so that if I lose it, I have a backup copy, and can copy/paste it again. I think this only happens after the second edit, but there have been occasions when I have replied to somebody, then noticed after a few days that my reply is no longer there, and I think I only edited it once, or possibly not at all.
i think disappearing comments problems are multifaceted and i defo believe editing is one thing that can make the platform twitchy. Either that or the process simply shows that a comment failed to post. i lean towards "editing definitely makes it twitchy". Other factors - number of posts made in a given timeframe, settings of individual channels, bad faith flagging that sends the AI censor barking up the wrong tree, and links even for YT videos, even if they successfully post, as well as cutting/copying and pasting in the text box. If only the YT archive wasn't so incredible. I don't think the platform can handle billions of users without things going wrong, realistically.
@@TonyEnglandUK true that I am running multiple issues that I find concerning. One being this issue posted here with the disappearing comment. I ended up using the same solution of copying any message I write, and double checking to make sure my comments actually post and dont get eaten. Then theres the issue of comments that are simply there, but youtube hides them. at first i thought people were just getting banned or censored like crazy,... but some messages that reach my notification feed dont show when I try to open them on the youtube page it is on. They simply arn't there(which also limits my ability to respond) And because of what I can see from the feed, I know theres nothing wrong with them. Yet at the same time,... for peoples whose comments show, their comments ALWAYS show... and for the ones that arnt showing, I cant ever see them. Like RUclips is trying to separate us. I should be seeing everything according to my settings tho. And they must be seeing me, to make the replies. And you know more people than even that are there due to the "show hide 20/odd comments" only showing freaking like 10 people or less. Half or so of whatever it says. Like, what the hell youtube? occasionally, one more lengthy comment chains... it will look like people are talking to others who are not there. And there will be like 10 comments or so missing, that people are replying to, so you know they are there... somewhere. Then suddenly at like the ass end of the chain, that persons there and they have a few comments finally showing. I can hop on any video at all, and find these issues within seconds. It's ridiculous.
@@MrMeow-iq7kq Exactly the same here, my friend. I was having a conversation earlier and there were 12 comments - now when I go back to the video to continue the conversation, there are only 9 comments.
None of the suggestions on these videos help. First, most are about using the iphone. I use a laptop for youtube. Very often my comments are censored out. I never use profanity and go over the line in any way. I feel sure youtube is censoring without explanation. Or else their platform works so poorly that it has frequent errors and disappearances. Sometimes we spend a long time writing a paragraph, and it is really discouraging to never see many comments appear at all.
Hello. None of these 5 solutions you offered rectified my issue. The issue is that on my desktop, RUclips videos appear just fine but the suggestions and the comments are like, invisible. There's a space for them and there's even the blue "View xx replies" but when I press on it, it looks like they're all loading but nothing appears. I tried clearing my chache and cookies but the issue persists. This happens only on my Google profile but on other profiles on the same PC, they appear normally. Idek what I should do anymore. If you know of anything that could help me, please go ahead and suggest it, it'd be deeply appreciated. Thanks.
This is what I'm experiencing. None of the stuff about ones own channel in this video applies to me because I don't run a channel. None of that mobile stuff in this video applies to me since I use a laptop to read the YT comments. I just don''t seem to be able to see all the replies that are supposedly there. Pushing the blue "View reply" often gives me nothing but a blue "Hide reply" and no replies. I also cleared my cookies and cache and nothing changed. Yet if someone replies to one of my comments it appears in my notifications. Gotta wonder if all of them do though now.
@@ice4fox2 Hey! I found a solution to my problem, I'd like to share it with you maybe it'll be resolved! I discovered that I had a chrome extension that was causing this situation. I disabled it and everything's alright for me now. If you have recently enabled an extension or have an extension that blocks sites, videos or adds try disabling them! Hope you get the issue resolved soon.
Thanks for the video, but unfortunately it didn't help. I've posted a video, and about 1/2 of the comments disappear. Everything you said about settings in my channel is done, and still many comments just go away, without anywhere for me to approve them. Any more advice?

YT comments opens here on my search engine but not in the app despite all five steps. There are so many ridiculous things that happen on a smartphone when it's accidentally bumped, covered with a cloth or put in a pocket w/o being turned off. I cannot open comments of videos on the app except shorts.
I just started a new channel and I received a comment, I went to replied back and noticed it wasn’t there. I thought it might of been deleted but when I commented myself on my own video it didn’t show up… I have all comments enabled but it still isn’t working… I don’t know if there is a fix for this. It tells me there is 4 comments with a empty comment section.
Same for me, I received a comment on my own video and had the notification on my phone and as well on browser showing the comment, but when I click on to the video, the comment section shows "1 Comment" but no actual comment, I have tried different browsers, clearing cookies and cache and it still won't show up, and also I checked my RUclips studio and there are no comments held for review.
Thanks for this, but I still see no comments in my videos. People post them, they show up as notifications, and on the video page itself it says, e.g., "3 comments", but they remain invisible.

@Moments with Vanessa I've since learned that a lot of people have been. I think it has seemed better lately, for me anyway. Other than for about 1 hour Thursday night, no one could comment at all. Maybe they fixed it? Have you seen any issues since then? I haven't. Maybe it's fixed. 🤞
@Moments with Vanessa I'm not sure what you mean, once the comments were deleted they never came back unless the person tried again. Sometimes it took people four times before their comments stuck.
Didn't work. Still not showing a comment on one of my videos even though it says someone commented. I am wondering if youtube blocked the comment because the notice said it was a web link. I don't have it set to review or anything, but the look of the address could be a virus or spyware link. I don't know if they do that but it would explain why nothing is working to view the comment, review the comment, or see it on another device or account. (Yes I looked through my friends account and he couldn't see it either.) The reason I wanted access was to remove it if it is a link, but I can't view it or manage the comments.
I've been a programmer since I was 14 and I'm now over 50. You cannot fix this issue and videos like this are just wasting your time. Only RUclips can fix this problem. It's not a virus, it's not an error in your account - it's a programming bug that only RUclips can fix themselves.
@@TonyEnglandUK you seem like the guy to ask, might this be a filter on youtubes end that is trying to filter out "hate" or "other think" , like a shadow ban on unwanted comments that allows undesirable commenter to use the app and comment without signaling to the commenter that they are in the black, so to speak. For me its been around a few weeks that i will look or comment on something but it will say like 6 replys but i only see 4. Im not a tech guy buy any strech, but i have noticed the shenanigans lol
How about when there are older comments are visible but no text box to accept new comments or am I blocked from commenting, however, when I go to reply so I checked newer video,their enjoying the GOLDEN GATE COMMENTS
Click the "sort by" tab and switch it to the other method from what is your default [usually it would be the first option top comments] choose "newest first"
@@shin823 No dude, corporate fascist RUclips shadow banned critical thinking accounts. That is what they do under the orders of government agencies like NSA and CIA. The USA is a fascist country.
I encountered the following issue: comments didn't appear on my video, and I didn't receive any notifications. It wasn't until two weeks later that I saw them in RUclips Studio. Why did this happen? My channel is still small, so I don't want viewers, who are already hard to get, to think that I am ignoring or deleting their comments on purpose. I read the comment, and they were simply asking for clarification. They didn't use any disruptive language, and it doesn't seem like they deleted their comment themselves. The first comment they asked, I replied to. However, when they thanked me and asked another question right below my response, that comment was deleted. They had to ask the question again (but it didn't appear)?
Thanks for your advice and I've checked everything that you've mentioned and none of these is the issue. The issue is with any comment that contains a link is hidden but I keep getting notifications about these comments and are included in the total number of comments, but I have no way of seeing them and reviewing them. Do you have any idea what the problem might be?
Same. It was a spam comment with a link, which I was able to 'hide' from the bell/notifications drop down, but I cannot see the comment ON my channel (it's the first/only comment right now), so I'd like to remove it, but I can't access it below the video. It just says '1 comment'. I've tried toggling between 'most recent' or 'top comment', and it still doesn't show up so I can delete it directly. Any intel on how to see it and delete it? Thanks!

I couldn’t like because of a warning and suspended me from commenting, they didn’t even tell me nor show me the warning for a month and I knew this till a asked in RUclips support, AND I WAS A MISTAKE.
Hi thanks so much !! very good information . I did everything comments got turned on but still o don’t see comments under my videos . I got notifications of comments on YT studio app and I see 2 people has commented there but it shows in YT studio notifications but not under my actual video on RUclips. Do you have any idea why this is happening. So 2 people has commented but I don’t see it under my videos but see it in YT studio notification.
The most annoying thing was when I went to settings my restricted mode was off and at this point I had already tried about all the methods, so then I had to go back to restricted mode again to turn it on then off and that’s when it worked
No, not when your taxpayer dollars go to fund these private-companies (like all of the giants were) so that they can do whatever they want (as long as it's approved by the gov't) and people will say, "but muh private company, durh". See how it works? They found a way to keep you out of the public-square, if they want you out. Wonder if this reply will be hidden...haha. I'm going to reply with one-line-at-a-time, if it is.
lol it was hidden. HAHA!...so here, goes - 1st line: "No, not when your taxpayer dollars go to fund these private-companies (like all of the giants were) "
There is another scenario you didn't mention. sometimes the comment counter indicates there is a comment but you cant see it, Click the "sort by" tab and switch it to the other method from what is your default [usually it would be the first option top comments] choose "newest first"
Nothing works for me. It only happens on with RUclips on chrome and I've deleted all cookies, and history for seven days and turned off extensions. Also updated Chrome, but it made no difference. So I suppose I'll just have to ditch Chrome.
For the phone user: Click on your profile icon & then on the same page find "Your data in RUclips" then click on that link and when open it scroll down and find section " Ad personalisation" and turn it off, it worked for me 😉

Most of my vids lost all older comments. Way to go RUclips, making it easier for me to not care. Turning youtube to cable tv. Just another way to screw us over after taking away monetization, then showing ads on our crap after saying we couldnt be mentized. Basically, we're slaves.
Thanks. (I’m referring to watching others’ RUclips videos) Sometimes I see comments, and sometimes not. So, doesn’t that mean it’s not a Settings problem? I also seem to notice this in videos that are politically controversial. BUT not always. S9metimes a perfectly non-controversial video will “ Comments have moved” or “Comments are disabled. Thanks again for your help.
I've been a programmer for 30 years and this has frustrated me more than anything I've ever worked with. Even tonight, I posted a comment on a wingsuit video about how beautiful Switzerland was. It vanished as soon as I sent it. An hour later, I went on a talk-show confrontations video and as I scrolled through the comments about Wendy Williams, Dick Cavett, and David Letterman, I see *Tony England:* Switzerland is beautiful. This whole comments mess-up isn't a "settings" issue, or a content issue. It's Google/RUclips programmers messing up and not having the guts to step forward and admit it.
i'm having a different comment issue, its with youtube shorts it saids comments are disable on every short i go to on this account but i switch to a different one and boom they are working. could this be cause of cookies or is youtube shadow banning me or are there different settings for youtube shorts?
I occasionally will get a notification in the UT app but I can't reply to it and iI can't find it in YT Studio on my laptop. Any idea what the cause of that is?
My comments disappear when I try to reply back to people. I'll post it, it's there but as soon as I refresh the page...boop!...its gone. Nothing against the TOS, just gone.
I can comment initially on videos. But some of my replies never go through. I tried rephrasing and reposting many times and they all disappear. It feels like AI censoring, but it doesn't make sense based on my comments.
Al my vids (shorts) are set for not made for kids and all my settings that you mentioned are correct. When I upload a vid, the comments will be on, but after a short while they get turned off. I didn’t turn them off myself, nor mess with the videos settings after uploading it. I don’t know why this happens, and I have to manually turn them on several times for the comments to remain on. Also, when the comments get turned off (both automatically or because I set it that way), the video remixing is no longer available so people can’t clip it, collab with it, green screen it etc. There is no way to turn these back on. Does anyone know how to fix this? I haven’t been able to find anything that has worked.
My comment tab is completely empty, like I've never commented on anything or had a reply, just empty. Been like it for over a year. Probably because youtube don't like hearing the truth.
First, if using a browser you will find issues, and your wifi makes a difference at that time. If using the YT downloaded app, it's better, you have more control and it's quicker response time. Google owns RUclips, they have millions of people using their sites, when logging on to YT by browser, it could take 5 to 10 minutes sometimes for a comment to post on YT. So try the app if not already. The channel profile you're on may have restrictions, like you must become a subscriber, or a member, or they review comments first, or certain words blocked, many things on their end may be restricting people, sometimes it will tell you or not, but most times, it's just too crowded. Go away for a bit, then go back to see if it has posted. Another way to check, go into YT history on your channel settings. if it's there, it will eventually.
Half of mine just get deleted for seemingly no reason. I can understand some and after an edit there fine. But other times I make a perfectly nice and friendly comment but bye bye. No "problematic" words or phrases and yet no amount of editing and reposting will make them stay posted. YT and their censorship bs are a pain in the arse. 🤷♂🤬🤬
Great video but you did not address my issue - MacBook, Safari, not my RUclips channels, comments section - the replies to original comments do not open. Lets say under a random comment there is a blue arrow with 2 replies, I click on the arrow, something flickering and no comments appear. Not always, but often. Cleared the history, removed cookies, no result. Can you please address this issue? it drives me mad :))
The problem i have is when my comment can’t be posted, it APPEARS as posted BUT when i go back to the video, it’s gone, it’s not even in my RUclips data activity log, as if i never posted. i get that ALOT! Mostly when i post a link in a comment but this time i didn’t. i tried 3 times to post this comment on this video with NO LINKS in it. Nothing! so i posted a “testing” comment to see if that posted. it posted. i did manage to copy and paste my original comment and posted in another video… did not post. So, the comment was the problem, but WHY?🤷🤷 there were no links, i was friendly, i was just recommending a video to him because he likes to talk about strange stuff found on RUclips so…🤷 Anyone have any answers??
Thank you so much for your help and guidance. I was able to do all the steps you talked about except I couldn't find the unload background thing. Step 5. So if all else fails, I'll try to delete and reinstall. Thank you again for your clear-cut instructions.
Thanks for the info. In my case, and, it seems, with increasing frequency over the past 6 weeks or so, the "comment" field under the video I'm watching is not displayed, even though i can see tons of comments already posted by others. What am I, chopped liver? Why can't I comment when others can? Did RUclips restrict my ability to comment or share valuable info?
When RUclips introduced Shorts I get them as Vertical videos in the middle of my PC screen with no way to comment. Is that just they way Shorts work? I find it very frustrating.
some of my comments are not showing up for instant I HAVE the comment section it's just showing for example I have 8 comments where it shows me i have comments but i only see 1 or if i reply to a comment i come back the comment is gone so i don't know what causes that
Im having this same problem. I post comments on a reply and it doesnt show up when i go back to check if it posted BUT i still get notifications from other people replying to that same reply like if my comment is there but its not. Sometimes i even try typing the same comment and try posting it up to 3 times and it STILL doesnt show up 🤦🏽♂️
What about this? A lot of times I watch a video and go to the comments section, the comments will show up, and I can read other people's comments but there's not a section / block blank where I can add a new comment. I thought that was really odd first time I seen it. Is this a setting on my end?
What's really frustrating is RUclips does not provide an explanation regarding why a comment is not appearing. Instead it just does nothing. Extremely frustrating.
Censorship
@@jtzr1371 no free speech on youtube. It's owned by money
@@DEEProjector owned by leftists*
@@jtzr1371 yes! They've really been hitting it hard recently. My theory is the use of certain words (keywords) that the AI automatically hides. I can only see certain comments in my notifications, but when I click on the comments section that says it has...say 10 comments, there might only be half or less.
There's also the possibility of all the spammer bots getting reported and the comment gets hidden.
I had this issue just a few minutes ago and no matter what I did comments didn't show up. It did that on 3 different accounts and on different devices and different channels/videos. After trying to figure it out for a half hour, the comments just started showing up out of nowhere. I don't know crap about software but it might just be some kind of lag? Try again in 30-60 minutes
Unfortunately, none of these apply to the problem I am facing with YT comments. What I am noticing is that when I scroll down to the comments under the videos, I read the initial comment, but when I click on the replies to that comment, not all show up. For example, it says "View 20 replies" but when I click on that only about 6 replies show up. I know this is not only happening to me because I have heard other people complain about the same issue.

You forgot the one that causes 99% of the issues with "my comments don't appear on other people's videos". Namely, *THEY* have the video set to "hold comments for review". Solution: nothing can be done by you
He said that specifically. Did you bother to watch video?
Yup exactly
Oh
well, the thing is for me, i can’t reply to any single video, you won’t even see this comment
Uh
For me comments appear but responses do not unless I go up to the top of comments and select "Sort by newest first", but then the comment you made vanishes to the bottom somewhere and you have to take an hour looking for it. None of these solutions worked for me here. RUclips functionality is beyond idiotic.
Like your style; no thundering background music, no wasted time; you just got right to it.
@Kyle Hill RUclips employs some of the greatest programmers on Earth. There is no way this bug is accidental or unfixable by them. I'm a programmer myself and after contacting RUclips about the problem of comments not showing, I did actually get a reply from their representative Charlotte, who - and I'm not kidding here - insisted there was no problem at all and it must be my settings on my browser that was at fault. Whatever is really going on here, I can promise it's not going to change for a long time, at least until RUclips accepts that there IS a problem of user's comments simply not showing.

You're on a video about comments not showing (I can't believe I had to explain this to you)
My issue is a little different. I don't know how or why, but on my videos, sometimes it will tell me that I have a comment, allow me to read the comment in the notifications bell, but then the comment doesn't show up under my video. It will say the amount of comments, but not show it. And this is only for some comments. They don't have bad words or anything in them. Just regular stuff. I have all comments enabled too.

I've noticed on certain videos that it will say for example 4 comments and when you click on the comments to read them that only 1 will show or even none will show.
Now this is telling me that even when the comments go up to let's say 645 that you will not actually see 645. So in effect some people are having their comments shadow banned.

this is exactly what is happening to me
I assumed my account was Gulag'd by RUclips, and that each post was being run thru an auto-bot-algo to see if it contravenes tos. [I've had a few warnings about tos violations.]
Yes I'm quite sure RUclips engages in these Gulag tactics. No question. It happens to be all the time, and I never post profanity or threats or anything remotely questionable. Only truthful insights and comments. Yet, a good percentage of the time, especially when I may have spent a good amount of time writing my paragraph, it NEVER appears. It's all pretty outrageous. Another outrageous thing I'm seeing lately: a great many videos now start with a LONG forced ad to sit through. I suffered through a few of those, but no more! Even if the topic interests me, I refuse to be abused this way to sit through a full 2 minute ad video first! I back out and leave!
I have another strange issue: when i go in the comments section of a video, youtube will show me only recent comments, even if i'm on the setting "show popular", and that is so annoying, i can't discuss about the topics on the video because yt won't show me popular comments, but instead it order them in time, and i have to manually scroll all of them to find something interesting.

that happened to one of my videos too
I don't post videos. My issue is with the comments I post on other people's videos. I don't think viewers can see my posts (?) because I get zero upvotes or replies to my comments, when other people's replies are getting upvotes. I can see my comments usually, but they are the lone ones with "no action on". A few other times my comments seem to disappear, but that isn't often. I used to engage in conversation with all sorts of people who would upvote my comments and have tons of replies. Now I get zero notifications (the bell) of replies combined with zero upvotes. I went into settings, and I have everything turned on. What is the issue?
I have the same issue rn

Me too on certain comments of certain videos. No inappropriate posts, no foul language etc so it's extremely frustrating. How this one is staying and others being deleted is unknown.
The issue is woke RUclips censorship
The third reason is censorship. You will see your comment but nobody else will.
You also get the reverse sometimes. You won't see your comment but others can. Aside from the content, RUclips is garbage.
Life saver!!! For me it was definitely the whole "children content" thing, which is absolutely ridiculous seeing as I don't make videos, period. I couldn't see comments on anyone's videos, but it only started this morning. I don't even have children, so I have no idea why YT would feel the need to block a 30+ yr old from reading comments. Thanks so much for helping us!
RUclips are pleased to have you equate gaining knowledge or participating in conversation with being a pederast. Their specific mission is to destroy reality perception. Their loyalty is to the govt. of the United States, governance of your will is an efficiency subset to this. This was in the works in the law but began of course in earnest 21 years ago.

Clearly there is comments being created somewhere but they do not show up in the youtube video comments on a desktop browser or mobile or anything. They are not being held for review or anywhere. They just don't show up. This is so convoluted the way it works, it should not be this difficult to use. That's kind of the whole point in all of this. Views and comments.

It's quite simply a screw-up by RUclips's programmers. Your suggestion of sending feedback is the only thing that is likely to get them to fix it.

I'm sure you've noticed that when you make any comment on RUclips now, it immediately will get responses as it should but a few days later, it gets no response whatsoever. That's because nobody can see your comment anymore except you.
Well on a youtube short, if a reply to a comment is long it will go off screen so I need a way to turn the short into a video or make it multiple lines. Please help it annoying
They delete all my replies. Even when I do random tests like thumbs up emojis or smile emojis. Now when I reply to comments I copy and paste the reply and quote what I'm relying to and repost it to the main comments section. What is annoying is the fact I'm a premium customer.

No mention of censorship
yeah, right?! exactly what I came here for.
Possible solution for those who tried everything and couldn't find a solution, please read. I had the same problem, my comments all the sudden stopped showing, like I put a comment on a video I can see it, but my friends can't. The comment was visible for my eyes only and when I check again, it is gone. Same with live videos, comments are visible to my eyes only. So I thought I maybe wrote something silly in the past that youtube decided to block me now from commenting and I remained a year like that, until I discovered this strange reason. It was actually because I was using a specific phone. Yes, this account I'm. Writing from now from some reason doesn't show comments when done that phone. So now I'm using a different phone but dame account. It is unexplained why RUclips works on one but not the other. It doesn't make sense, but I hope this solve your problem
It's really a hit and miss. While I only watch RUclips on my Windows laptop (never in a mobile app), I tried posting with the same account from a different computer but some of my comments were still getting deleted randomly. I never spam or post anything political, in fact I was posting on some boring computer programming video. Turned out that YT deletes messages with the words GO and TO next to each other. Presumably considered a common phrase used by spammers. lol Crazy isn't it?!
what if you're on a PC....
When I write a long comment (eg 20 lines), I read through it after posting, and if it has error in it, I edit it. Then I continue reading the rest of it, and if I come across another error and edit it a second time and save it. Everything looks OK, but I get a message in red at the bottom of the comment saying that it wasn't saved. At this point, the only thing I can do is to cancel it - and it's gone! The only thing is to re-write it, so now, every long comment I make, I do in an editor first so that if I lose it, I have a backup copy, and can copy/paste it again.
I think this only happens after the second edit, but there have been occasions when I have replied to somebody, then noticed after a few days that my reply is no longer there, and I think I only edited it once, or possibly not at all.
i think disappearing comments problems are multifaceted and i defo believe editing is one thing that can make the platform twitchy. Either that or the process simply shows that a comment failed to post. i lean towards "editing definitely makes it twitchy". Other factors - number of posts made in a given timeframe, settings of individual channels, bad faith flagging that sends the AI censor barking up the wrong tree, and links even for YT videos, even if they successfully post, as well as cutting/copying and pasting in the text box. If only the YT archive wasn't so incredible. I don't think the platform can handle billions of users without things going wrong, realistically.
I have this issue also
@@MrMeow-iq7kq It's shameful that we're all here trying to fix the issue instead of RUclips fixing the problem themselves.
@@TonyEnglandUK true that
I am running multiple issues that I find concerning. One being this issue posted here with the disappearing comment. I ended up using the same solution of copying any message I write, and double checking to make sure my comments actually post and dont get eaten.
Then theres the issue of comments that are simply there, but youtube hides them.
at first i thought people were just getting banned or censored like crazy,... but some messages that reach my notification feed dont show when I try to open them on the youtube page it is on. They simply arn't there(which also limits my ability to respond)
And because of what I can see from the feed, I know theres nothing wrong with them.
Yet at the same time,... for peoples whose comments show, their comments ALWAYS show... and for the ones that arnt showing, I cant ever see them. Like RUclips is trying to separate us. I should be seeing everything according to my settings tho. And they must be seeing me, to make the replies.
And you know more people than even that are there due to the "show hide 20/odd comments" only showing freaking like 10 people or less. Half or so of whatever it says.
Like, what the hell youtube?
occasionally, one more lengthy comment chains... it will look like people are talking to others who are not there. And there will be like 10 comments or so missing, that people are replying to, so you know they are there... somewhere.
Then suddenly at like the ass end of the chain, that persons there and they have a few comments finally showing.
I can hop on any video at all, and find these issues within seconds. It's ridiculous.
@@MrMeow-iq7kq Exactly the same here, my friend. I was having a conversation earlier and there were 12 comments - now when I go back to the video to continue the conversation, there are only 9 comments.
None of the suggestions on these videos help. First, most are about using the iphone. I use a laptop for youtube. Very often my comments are censored out. I never use profanity and go over the line in any way. I feel sure youtube is censoring without explanation. Or else their platform works so poorly that it has frequent errors and disappearances. Sometimes we spend a long time writing a paragraph, and it is really discouraging to never see many comments appear at all.
Hello. None of these 5 solutions you offered rectified my issue. The issue is that on my desktop, RUclips videos appear just fine but the suggestions and the comments are like, invisible. There's a space for them and there's even the blue "View xx replies" but when I press on it, it looks like they're all loading but nothing appears. I tried clearing my chache and cookies but the issue persists. This happens only on my Google profile but on other profiles on the same PC, they appear normally. Idek what I should do anymore. If you know of anything that could help me, please go ahead and suggest it, it'd be deeply appreciated. Thanks.
This is what I'm experiencing. None of the stuff about ones own channel in this video applies to me because I don't run a channel. None of that mobile stuff in this video applies to me since I use a laptop to read the YT comments. I just don''t seem to be able to see all the replies that are supposedly there. Pushing the blue "View reply" often gives me nothing but a blue "Hide reply" and no replies. I also cleared my cookies and cache and nothing changed.

Almost every comment or reply I make besides a few disappear on YT if they’re longer than a few sentences. I’ve tried editing and reposting to make sure there is no links or bad language but still it makes no difference
But what if most comments are fine and just a few comments are showing up in notifications and then being deleted by YT?
@Moments with Vanessa I've since learned that a lot of people have been. I think it has seemed better lately, for me anyway. Other than for about 1 hour Thursday night, no one could comment at all. Maybe they fixed it? Have you seen any issues since then? I haven't. Maybe it's fixed. 🤞
@Moments with Vanessa I'm not sure what you mean, once the comments were deleted they never came back unless the person tried again. Sometimes it took people four times before their comments stuck.
Didn't work. Still not showing a comment on one of my videos even though it says someone commented. I am wondering if youtube blocked the comment because the notice said it was a web link. I don't have it set to review or anything, but the look of the address could be a virus or spyware link. I don't know if they do that but it would explain why nothing is working to view the comment, review the comment, or see it on another device or account. (Yes I looked through my friends account and he couldn't see it either.) The reason I wanted access was to remove it if it is a link, but I can't view it or manage the comments.

For me its been around a few weeks that i will look or comment on something but it will say like 6 replys but i only see 4.
Im not a tech guy buy any strech, but i have noticed the shenanigans lol
How about when there are older comments are visible but no text box to accept new comments or am I blocked from commenting, however, when I go to reply so I checked newer video,their enjoying the GOLDEN GATE COMMENTS
I guess RUclips finally fixed it.
It's really weird that the comments were not showing, but the top comment a while ago.
Yeah
@@KazumaSatouReal Nice to meet u again!
😆💌
I tried all the steps. My comments are still not showing up for my new videos. It's so weird.
Click the "sort by" tab and switch it to the other method from what is your default [usually it would be the first option top comments] choose "newest first"
@@shin823 No dude, corporate fascist RUclips shadow banned critical thinking accounts. That is what they do under the orders of government agencies like NSA and CIA. The USA is a fascist country.
I encountered the following issue: comments didn't appear on my video, and I didn't receive any notifications. It wasn't until two weeks later that I saw them in RUclips Studio. Why did this happen? My channel is still small, so I don't want viewers, who are already hard to get, to think that I am ignoring or deleting their comments on purpose.
I read the comment, and they were simply asking for clarification. They didn't use any disruptive language, and it doesn't seem like they deleted their comment themselves. The first comment they asked, I replied to. However, when they thanked me and asked another question right below my response, that comment was deleted. They had to ask the question again (but it didn't appear)?
Thanks for your advice and I've checked everything that you've mentioned and none of these is the issue. The issue is with any comment that contains a link is hidden but I keep getting notifications about these comments and are included in the total number of comments, but I have no way of seeing them and reviewing them. Do you have any idea what the problem might be?
yeah i’m getting the same issue
Me to
Same. It was a spam comment with a link, which I was able to 'hide' from the bell/notifications drop down, but I cannot see the comment ON my channel (it's the first/only comment right now), so I'd like to remove it, but I can't access it below the video. It just says '1 comment'. I've tried toggling between 'most recent' or 'top comment', and it still doesn't show up so I can delete it directly. Any intel on how to see it and delete it? Thanks!
ME TOOO :( IT FRUSTRATES ME SINCE IN THE VIDEO I POSTED THERES A GIVEAWAY AND PEOPLE ARE JOINING, IT NOTIFIES ME BUT I NEVER REALLY GET TO SEE THESE COMMENTS ONCE I CLICK IT
hi any updates if you guys have resolved it? :(
Guys i dont know if any of this is related to what he is saying but I did everything and whats weird is that i can Comment on long form videos but I cant comment on short form like shorts
same
I couldn’t like because of a warning and suspended me from commenting, they didn’t even tell me nor show me the warning for a month and I knew this till a asked in RUclips support, AND I WAS A MISTAKE.
I hope i see my comments
Any chance of making a video on fixing looking at the replies to a comment not loading?
II am having the same problem.
Hi thanks so much !! very good information . I did everything comments got turned on but still o don’t see comments under my videos . I got notifications of comments on YT studio app and I see 2 people has commented there but it shows in YT studio notifications but not under my actual video on RUclips. Do you have any idea why this is happening. So 2 people has commented but I don’t see it under my videos but see it in YT studio notification.
The most annoying thing was when I went to settings my restricted mode was off and at this point I had already tried about all the methods, so then I had to go back to restricted mode again to turn it on then off and that’s when it worked
Samee
Google is ridiculous for warping this site to garbage with this shadow ban not inform you garbage
Viloation of Freedom of Speech. Free Speech is for EVERYONE.
No, not when your taxpayer dollars go to fund these private-companies (like all of the giants were) so that they can do whatever they want (as long as it's approved by the gov't) and people will say, "but muh private company, durh".
See how it works? They found a way to keep you out of the public-square, if they want you out. Wonder if this reply will be hidden...haha. I'm going to reply with one-line-at-a-time, if it is.
lol it was hidden. HAHA!...so here, goes -
1st line: "No, not when your taxpayer dollars go to fund these private-companies (like all of the giants were) "
2nd line: "so that they can do whatever they want (as long as it's approved by the gov't)"
3rd line: "and people will say, "but muh private company, durh"."
4th line: "See how it works? They found a way to keep you out of the public-square, if they want you out."
There is another scenario you didn't mention. sometimes the comment counter indicates there is a comment but you cant see it, Click the "sort by" tab and switch it to the other method from what is your default [usually it would be the first option top comments] choose "newest first"
Nothing works for me. It only happens on with RUclips on chrome and I've deleted all cookies, and history for seven days and turned off extensions. Also updated Chrome, but it made no difference. So I suppose I'll just have to ditch Chrome.
Yeah. And it's not always, or it will load most of the comments and left some infinitely loading. Honestly it's a mess.
For the phone user: Click on your profile icon & then on the same page find "Your data in RUclips" then click on that link and when open it scroll down and find section " Ad personalisation" and turn it off, it worked for me 😉
Same thing happening to me and it drives me crazy -- except that it's also failing in Edge and Firefox as well as Chrome.
It's a new problem. I'm having this issue happen on my old account and new one. It happens on my android, iphone and laptop. click on your channel name and then click send feedback and let youtube know they have an issue on their side. Lots of people having this problem right now.
Most of my vids lost all older comments. Way to go RUclips, making it easier for me to not care. Turning youtube to cable tv.
Just another way to screw us over after taking away monetization, then showing ads on our crap after saying we couldnt be mentized. Basically, we're slaves.
Congratulations on one more feather in your cap. I always notice your hardwork and talent. Very well sung 🎉
Thank you it was really helpful 😊
Thanks. (I’m referring to watching others’ RUclips videos)
Sometimes I see comments, and sometimes not. So, doesn’t that mean it’s not a Settings problem?
I also seem to notice this in videos that are politically controversial.
BUT not always. S9metimes a perfectly non-controversial video will “ Comments have moved” or “Comments are disabled.
Thanks again for your help.
I've been a programmer for 30 years and this has frustrated me more than anything I've ever worked with. Even tonight, I posted a comment on a wingsuit video about how beautiful Switzerland was. It vanished as soon as I sent it. An hour later, I went on a talk-show confrontations video and as I scrolled through the comments about Wendy Williams, Dick Cavett, and David Letterman, I see *Tony England:* Switzerland is beautiful.
This whole comments mess-up isn't a "settings" issue, or a content issue. It's Google/RUclips programmers messing up and not having the guts to step forward and admit it.
i'm having a different comment issue, its with youtube shorts it saids comments are disable on every short i go to on this account but i switch to a different one and boom they are working. could this be cause of cookies or is youtube shadow banning me or are there different settings for youtube shorts?
i need more help some times my comments arent showing up still
same and none of these steps fixed it.
Same here.
Thanks. Didn't fix my problem but still a great video
I occasionally will get a notification in the UT app but I can't reply to it and iI can't find it in YT Studio on my laptop. Any idea what the cause of that is?
Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial it’s a big help for me☺️
Bro u got 999 subs
I can't comment on my other channel, please help.
Testing 1,2,3
My comments disappear when I try to reply back to people. I'll post it, it's there but as soon as I refresh the page...boop!...its gone. Nothing against the TOS, just gone.
Yesss im having that problem too
My comments does not show up anywhere - you will problably not see this
Don't worry it work but will mine show up🤔
I can see this. My problrm is that my replies are gone to me once I post them.
@@JonnyFins
it shows up, although maybe you cant see it anymore.
A couple of hours ago my comments suddenly started not showing up. Disappear after posting. But they are in my comment history.
I can comment initially on videos. But some of my replies never go through. I tried rephrasing and reposting many times and they all disappear.
It feels like AI censoring, but it doesn't make sense based on my comments.
Al my vids (shorts) are set for not made for kids and all my settings that you mentioned are correct. When I upload a vid, the comments will be on, but after a short while they get turned off. I didn’t turn them off myself, nor mess with the videos settings after uploading it. I don’t know why this happens, and I have to manually turn them on several times for the comments to remain on.
Also, when the comments get turned off (both automatically or because I set it that way), the video remixing is no longer available so people can’t clip it, collab with it, green screen it etc. There is no way to turn these back on.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I haven’t been able to find anything that has worked.
My comment tab is completely empty, like I've never commented on anything or had a reply, just empty. Been like it for over a year. Probably because youtube don't like hearing the truth.
im having issues on PC comments in shorts are not showing... thought maybe i broke rules but they show on the phone so idk whats up.
First, if using a browser you will find issues, and your wifi makes a difference at that time. If using the YT downloaded app, it's better, you have more control and it's quicker response time. Google owns RUclips, they have millions of people using their sites, when logging on to YT by browser, it could take 5 to 10 minutes sometimes for a comment to post on YT.
So try the app if not already.
The channel profile you're on may have restrictions, like you must become a subscriber, or a member, or they review comments first, or certain words blocked, many things on their end may be restricting people, sometimes it will tell you or not, but most times, it's just too crowded. Go away for a bit, then go back to see if it has posted. Another way to check, go into YT history on your channel settings. if it's there, it will eventually.
Half of mine just get deleted for seemingly no reason. I can understand some and after an edit there fine. But other times I make a perfectly nice and friendly comment but bye bye. No "problematic" words or phrases and yet no amount of editing and reposting will make them stay posted. YT and their censorship bs are a pain in the arse. 🤷♂🤬🤬
Great video but you did not address my issue - MacBook, Safari, not my RUclips channels, comments section - the replies to original comments do not open. Lets say under a random comment there is a blue arrow with 2 replies, I click on the arrow, something flickering and no comments appear. Not always, but often. Cleared the history, removed cookies, no result. Can you please address this issue? it drives me mad :))
I comment on others channel but it's not showing in comment section. Can you please tell reason 🙏🏻
The problem i have is when my comment can’t be posted, it APPEARS as posted BUT when i go back to the video, it’s gone, it’s not even in my RUclips data activity log, as if i never posted. i get that ALOT! Mostly when i post a link in a comment but this time i didn’t. i tried 3 times to post this comment on this video with NO LINKS in it. Nothing! so i posted a “testing” comment to see if that posted. it posted. i did manage to copy and paste my original comment and posted in another video… did not post. So, the comment was the problem, but WHY?🤷🤷 there were no links, i was friendly, i was just recommending a video to him because he likes to talk about strange stuff found on RUclips so…🤷 Anyone have any answers??
Thank you so much for your help and guidance. I was able to do all the steps you talked about except I couldn't find the unload background thing. Step 5.
So if all else fails, I'll try to delete and reinstall.
Thank you again for your clear-cut instructions.
My problem is different, first why are comments are now showing an email address, and why the email address not mine?
Nothing works on my android It's okay on all other devices and I tried everything.
Thanks mate that was very helpful.
Fr
Thanks for the info. In my case, and, it seems, with increasing frequency over the past 6 weeks or so, the "comment" field under the video I'm watching is not displayed, even though i can see tons of comments already posted by others. What am I, chopped liver? Why can't I comment when others can? Did RUclips restrict my ability to comment or share valuable info?
mine is not showing up it just glitchs and shows dark shadow like whats going on ??
That was SO HELPFUL! Thank you from the not super techno savvy! God bless you!
When RUclips introduced Shorts I get them as Vertical videos in the middle of my PC screen with no way to comment. Is that just they way Shorts work? I find it very frustrating.
Im confused. It's not OTHERS' comments. It's mine. I have to wait for over a minute for my comment for mine to save.
Sometimes, I click on replies to my comments but it does not open.
some of my comments are not showing up for instant I HAVE the comment section it's just showing for example I have 8 comments where it shows me i have comments but i only see 1 or if i reply to a comment i come back the comment is gone so i don't know what causes that
For me it;s just on my phone I don't get the comment 'section' for watching videos. Super werid.
Im having this same problem. I post comments on a reply and it doesnt show up when i go back to check if it posted BUT i still get notifications from other people replying to that same reply like if my comment is there but its not. Sometimes i even try typing the same comment and try posting it up to 3 times and it STILL doesnt show up 🤦🏽♂️
The problem for me is that, there is no comment tab on most videos. Like I can't comment while others can. How do I fix this?
What about this?
A lot of times I watch a video and go to the comments section, the comments will show up, and I can read other people's comments but there's not a section / block blank where I can add a new comment. I thought that was really odd first time I seen it.
Is this a setting on my end?
