YouTube Is Developing a Secret Weapon Against the Internet’s Worst Commenters
Long considered home to the worst commenters on the internet — racist, cruel, idiotic, nonsensical, and barely literate — YouTube is in the process of upgrading its comment system in order to better tame its most loathsome members
Word of the overhaul slipped out during the Q&A portion of a YouTube developer session at Google I/O, the annual developers conference from the video-upload hub’s owner, Google.
A member of the audience, which was stocked heavily with online video publishers, asked for advice on handling negative comments within his YouTube channel. Dror Shimshowitz, a YouTube “head of product,” replied that “comments are kind of the Wild West of video” and can be turned off. But Google doesn’t like it when people do that, he said, because it cuts off the community. So the company is working on fixing the system.
“We’re working on some improvements to the comment system, so hopefully we’ll have an update on that in the next few months,” Shimshowitz said.

Dror Shimshowitz? This sounds like YouTube is planning to purge anything that does not support the official line on Israel, Jewish supremacy, and the Jewish holo-hoax. Plus the official line on 9-11, banking, and so on. Anything that does not promote Jews and the 1% must be purged, in order to "protect the children."
Incidentally, YouTube has not yet banned me. I have been permanently banned from countless blogs and web sites, although I have never used profanity, never flamed or insulted anyone, and never discussed things like Nazi Germany or the Jewish holo-hoax.
It's just that most people on the Internet don't like it when I disagree with them.
I expect to soon be banned from YouTube.
