Deleted YouTube Comments
If you check out the Gematrinator response video to my New Gematria article you can see the counter above the comments shows there are 3. These counts include all original comments and replies to comments as adding 1 to the total. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=B5wCFR4CJ6w

If you drill down on the comment you can see there is one reply and the total should be 2 instead of 3. This is because I left him a little present months after the video was put out to see if he was paying attention. (YouTube notifies you if you have the notifications turned on regardless of the age of the video.). Well he was and he deleted it. Just to prove to myself I picked a semi-random video today - the channel It’s Okay to be Smart A Brief History of (Keeping) Time, but you should be able to duplicate this on any video. When I got there it had 964 comments. I posted one, waited a bit and reloaded and the counter had increased to 965. Then I deleted it, waited a bit and the counter had dropped back down to 964.

This seems to me to be a deliberate function to show that the channel owner removed comments. Some of the more offensive Hubbard groupies have had videos showing things like ‘35’ comments while only seven show, and the like. This is not 100% foolproof since I don’t know if a comment reported to YouTube getting deleted affects the counter total. But since this is one of the aspects of YouTube, giving total control of comments to the channel owner, that they do a crap job of policing I doubt many comments are actually removed by YouTube. They just wait until once in a blue moon and get rid of the whole channel. Then do nothing about the Hubbard’s of the world starting a new one. Antigem (talk) 17:46, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Lmao I've seen that video. That dude is a clown. As for Hubbard's video, I saw the comment count go down from 52 to like 37, so comments were definitely getting removed. I'd say it's far more likely Hubbard himself removed them rather than YouTube because they were too polite to be in violation of any of YouTube's guidelines.

Your sig appears to be broken
It’s missing a ] in your latest comment in the saloon bar, so no link to your user page. Might want to fix that. Christopher (talk) 22:59, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Yeah I noticed, it's fixed now. Thanks. Aaronmichael5 03:46, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Update Hubbard Page
He’s apparently on the brink of another deleted channel. If you want to update the page I can offer some helpful insight. Antigem (talk) 11:59, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I've noticed that about his channel. What sort of update you referring to? Aaronmichael5 17:43, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The pattern has been the same for a long time. Get a strike.  Continue to make videos during the suspension period.  Upload all videos after suspension is lifted.  Since there’s always something “wrong” with every video, get another strike.  We can’t put this in mainspace without a citation with proof, but one of the videos that is gone out of the dozen or so that was uploaded was an anniversary of the Parkland shooting video.  Just thought you’d like to know.Antigem (talk) 10:33, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
