Do any of you understand how YouTube ticks?

I recently dived into the YouTube world for the first time.
…I wasn’t exactly, impressed. And, it wasn’t a surprise.
My misplaced hopes might’ve been dashed a bit, tho.
My expectation was, I thought I might see more,… ‘liberty seekers, in the pockets’,… or something like that? …Talking to one another. Forming bonds?

On the YT pages with smaller, ‘followings’ I see a lot of, back-and-forth, perhaps ~ true communication?

[That was really nice to see.]

On the YT pages with a million+ followers there’s so very little back-and-forth (like there is at EPA or the smaller YouTube pages) it makes me wonder.

I tried to, ‘mix-it-up’ on a million+ YT thread, to try to get people actually talking to one another because it looked like they were not.

I spent a whole ice-storm day doing so.
Ya know what happened: ALL my comments, save one, got deleted.

…I wonder why that is.

Is the YT page owner trying to overly protect from spam? …Or, stop actual conversation?

Or, both? …Or, just fend off YT military boots?

I don’t know.

Ok, here’s an example, of one which seems like a Freedomista crowd,… but I wonder what’s going on:

‘Its Voluntary until its NOT! Don’t miss this video…’

There’s a TON of comments – but notice – there’s Very little, to no, replies.

Almost zero communication between people.

It’s,… a lot like being in a room full of people & everyone is looking down at their eye-gadgets and ignoring everyone else in the room. [Creeps me out, some]

Am I overblowing things? …On the surface, that YT video example seems legit, straight-up, Real.

I just… wonder why there’s so very little back-and-forth.

Anyone care to fill me in>?

…”Separate, together”?

Upon further review, this is a stupid post & should be deleted.

How do I do that?
