I just watched a video from Extractions&Ire about Yttrium, and since I live close to where it was discovered I asked in the comments if I should go there and take a photo, which was heavily upvoted, so I go there and took some photos, upload them to my pixelfed and post the link in the original comment.

And YT immediately removes the entire thread including other comments.

Any one know if Google/YT has a particular beef with pxlmo.com?

Most comments with links are straight up deleted from YT comments. Moderation has gotten pretty strict there since covid.

What , they thought the infection spread that way?

Surely not, I thought everyone knew it was 5G.

How so - even doi links?

I didn't realize that, and YT didn't tell me.

As far as I’m aware they block links to pretty much everything even other YouTube videos. I think this was a attempt to stop/slow the horrid amount of spam bots but I’m not 100% on that
