What happened to all the comments?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Mods? I think a lot of people find this dude insufferable.

I can see how he may come across like that. He seems like a cross between a confident go-fuck-yaself New Yorker and the Onion News Network's best ever reporter, Michael Falk. https://youtu.be/D04wb7P_v-4

I think OP has been the insufferable one.

Hard to say without being able to see the comments. I suspect that if that were the case, the entire post would have been removed.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But the comments where not removed by mods. It seems like the commenter removed them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They did. They explained that, then later deleted the explanation too

Previously there was one top level comment that said something like "don't give this guy views", which was heavily downvoted and all other comments were a reply to that comment.

I assume the person deleted their comment.

We need better modlog searching so we can better know when comments are removed.

No idea, wondering the same thing myself. I can see most via a regular browser while not logged in, but it’s obvious some are missing. It’s possible the commenter I replied to deleted their comments, got banned, or something, and for whatever reason replies to those are also not visible in apps. There’s a comment asking if someone else knows their account was marked as a bot, maybe that has something to do with it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That was me asking actually. I saw someone upvoted the question but I can't see anything. Weird

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve got some idiot or a group of them following me around now making brand new accounts and single comments per account that say things that end with “not my problem” and downvoting everything, which is amusing because I’m on a server with downvotes disabled. All because I dismissed their complaints about this youtuber LOL

So… yeah… Lemmy is having a Reddit day.

Can somebody explain to me why do some people do not like this guy?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He is super abrasive and speaks like a salesman. I don't like his mannerisms either, but his message and ideals are right up my alley. Also, his videos are not very well edited, if at all, so his videos would sometimes give a very bad first impression. He looks like he's on some drug or something with the dark circles around his eyes. Several videos also make him seem like a gym/frat bro with how he interacts with his employees.

Ever met someone you don't like? Not because they beat your mom and impregnated your sister... just because you don't like them?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Insert "They hated Jesus meme" here

It should now be called AdTube "advertise yourself"

Ads are acceptable as long as they do not interfere with the video itself, imagine from start to finish learning advanced excel tutorials, what did you learn lol. And not all ads are just businesses most of them are security risks like click an ad accidentally and it will automatically install useless toolbars, nagware payload software etc without user consent just like the old days but they are now a norm.

Funny thing, if AdTube(адтуб) pronounced in ruasian, it can be translated back as HellTube.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Nice! gets better when translated in Russian/Cyrillic. 😁
