Were they removed by him, or were they automatically removed? I've seen some extremely egregious auto moderating on YouTube lately.
The ones that are speaking out against him have all been removed, and I doubt YouTube would do that automatically. Found a very in depth comment on my TV but couldn't on 3 other devices.
Ah yeah that's pretty solid evidence. My own experience has been with my own comments getting removed, and it happening far too quickly to be manual moderation. If you actually saw someone else's comment, and then noticed it gone, it's hard to call that anything other than a deliberate silencing of their viewpoint.
