Holy cow, I just tried this, posting a negative comment on @YouTube about "五毛". Comment was deleted within 10 seconds.

I recorded my screen when I did this because I know this seems crazy. https://twitter.com/PalmerLuckey/status/1265077232176775168
I suppose the obvious question is "why is this happening?"

Is there some kind of legitimate reason? Is this some kind of mistake on @YouTube's part? Or is this a result of pressure from a state?

This kind of immediate censorship is certainly something I find concerning.
Link to video I commented on. Can anyone see the comment?
@lymanstoneky has a thread running on this with some interesting observations. https://twitter.com/lymanstoneky/status/1265117970570731520?s=20
You can follow @N_Waters89.
Tip: mention @twtextapp on a Twitter thread with the keyword “unroll” to get a link to it.
