    It's ironic that your video about a comment being removed for mysterious reasons has a comment on it that is blatant spam, complete with a link to a porn site.

    It's unfortunate that it's probably impossible to get an actual human being from YouTube to explain exactly why your comment is being removed.

    I don't think it's the spam filter. I've seen this a few times before - MoistCritikal has also documented this exact thing.

    I think it's a bug in their ingestion pipeline. Just a guess. Or maybe it really is an edge case in their spam detection garbage.

    What was the comment? You tube seems to have removed the video.
