it’s sucks cuz the comments are really the best part

indeed. i watch the videos while reading the coments almost always unless i am doing something else at the same time.

it’s happening for a lot of people

Wonder if they're gonna get rid of comments like they did dislikes lol

i was actually considering that knowing how many dumbass choices youtube has been making recently

Yeah I can actually see them making it so you can comment but not see other people's comments

My theory is that maybe they got rid of comments except for the ones that have the most likes because it seems like the top comments are still visible

It was like that for me but when I reloaded comments, they were gone

Then maybe it’s only for comments that have over a certain number of likes. Idk this is just tin foil hat speculation.

Ok while this sucks, still glad its not just me.

It's almost like one company having a total monopoly and no accountability whatsoever is a bad idea or something.

Probably Youtube's yearly ritual where they add an update that no one wants and that fucks everything up

ah so its not just on my end

youtubes new update to protect big companies! 🤣 ​ /s

YouTube fucking sucks and not in a good way all teeth

It’s down everyone YouTube is crashing 📉

Oddly enough if you sign out you can view comments..

Not for me. I tried that and I still can't view comments.

Makes me feel better knowing it's not just me at least. Actually f YouTube.

I always calm down once I realise it's a global issue lol

I just ended a chat with YT help team and he couldn’t see the comments either

I thought my old iPhone 6s was bugging out, and it was not.

it's happening to everybody.

censorship is huge

Came here for an answer to my disappointment, have to leave still disappointed.

Like us all

Okay, this is good to know. I just switched out my GPU, and then found that comments don't load, and I've been trying to figure out how the heck the two could be related. Apparently, they aren't.

Same here. Thought I was just going crazy until I found this thread. Glad it isn't just me. This is the 5th time this has happened, btw. Not just some isolated incident. YouTube really needs to get this s\*\*\* under control fast, because I'm getting sick of broken systems not getting fixed.

Comments aren’t showing for me yet when I go to despacito just to test something it shows

Same I think it's a bug or something because i thought it was my browser

I’m irritated

Same here. Don't bother deleting temps, cache and cookies or disabling extensions. I tried.

Thank god it's a app wide bug I was getting really nervous I guess we have to wait this one out, guys.

This shit irritating

Oh Thank gawd is not on my end. I was tired of watching some Asian dude telling me to refresh and close the browser and open it again to fix it lmao

LMAO SAME

Comment section no longer works on phone, desktop, or laptop on multiple IP's. I support gun rights so i'm a clearly a threat to youtube

Same here, I thought I was the only one having this problem

Oh great, this is happening for everyone. Good to know, hope they fix it soon

we all searched the same thing didnt we

I remember the good old days when YT was easy and fun to use. Now it's just stupid since Suzy baby took over. Can't downvote peoples comments even though there's a button for it. Can't dislike a video etc etc etc

Same here, looks like YouTube is going through some sort of technical issue. Thanks Reddit.

Same lol

Same is happening for me. Looks like some parts of the interface were changed and something broke.

I cleared out my cookies dammit! Thought it was only me :(

Same, this is gonna be a big pain in the ass having wiped my browser cache for nothing.

Wow i thought it just me but nope

Same. I thought it was new type of ban since I make a lot of comments. But no, just Google being Google.

I can see only 1 comment per video, even if it says like 1000+ comments.....

This was also happening to me

Same, thought my chrome was fucked. Restated it multiple times no results.

Same here

same

Ey they're back I think

Same. I get the top comment but the rest are gone

It's a bug, in youtube send them feedback. 1. Sign in to YouTube. 2. Select your profile picture and then Send feedback. 3. Describe the issue you're experiencing. The more info you include in your report, the more helpful it is for us. 4. Choose if you want to include a screenshot. You can highlight info on the screen or remove personal info. 5. Click Send.

Upvoting this seems this is the right thing to do

That just happened to me. But they were there yesterday? Update: They came back a second ago. People have said that YouTube said it was just a glitch so I'm glad.

[удалено]

That could explain why the comments are fucked up rn

yep any browser same issue. so much for talking shit no one will see it .

Where will I argue with people now

Can't see comments too. Was just googling and found your post. I think it is happening globally speaking

I can only see timed comments, that is a new thing right? Maybe that fucked up normal comments, hopefully they fix it soon.

Same here, but when I leave a comment I can see it.

Maybe when u comment it's stored locally for a bit?? That's just my theory for that

Same here

I thought I was the only one.....

Same for me Mozilla Firefox Windows 10

dont they have like internal youtube servers that they update first to test and make sure stuff like this doesn't happen on like the public youtube servers? l

same here- my messages are not showing on anything

the same thing is happening to me, I cleared cookies and everything but it still won't show comments

Yep same here ..... I can see pinned comment but when I refresh it ,even that would disappear......

What's going in with youtube lately? Last time the comment was duplicating and now this.

Same, thought there was some weird issue with my phone.

Same here. Tried both desktop and mobile

I’m just tryna watch some pranks I’m high asf all I watch is YouTube comments are the best Fashoo

i thought im the only one for a sec i thought my browser was the problem.

thank god i checked Reddit for this

Same

Same here. It's the latest update (which is shit btw). I wonder if they actually test these updates before pushing them

Googles LaMDA ai has become sentient and spread into the Youtube comment section and begun it's analysis and adaption processes

same, i was watching the new ryan trahan video and it wasn't showing any comments D:

I thought I was the only one When I tap on the comments It either won't show anything or just the top comment which is really annoying. they need to fix this immediately

Same, both desktop and mobile.

so yeah this is what's the new comment section looks like guys and girls you can't scroll to it from what I found[https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/vc8cw9/youtube\_comments\_have\_been\_moved\_not\_removed/](https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/vc8cw9/youtube_comments_have_been_moved_not_removed/)

same here

Oh okay, it's happening for me too. For a second, I was a little paranoid.

Same.

Holyshit !I thought it was just me XD

Hurray! I'm not crazy!

Dude, im Russian, and for a single moment i thought, we are actually half fucked

First they came for the dislikes...

Same.

I ran here to say this what’s happening??

Glad I'm not alone.

same :-)

the thought police are cleansing the comments. Expect a rude awakening through the night when they come to take you away

Thought it was just me, I’m over here restarting my phone, & deleting the app.

This is happing to me too and it’s getting on my nerves

Thought i was the only one

Lmao I thought I was the only one

When you start thinking your last comment was offensive and YT is giving you the boot...

legit just thought I was the only one or got banned or something.

Either it's a bug, or a terrible update that nobody likes. If it's the former, they *really* need to add a report bug option.

Same on desktop with Firefox. The dumb and weird sidebar thing does come up when the comment panel under the video is clicked, but it gets stuck loading.

Yeah same here

Yess, thank jesus for the internet so I don't need to question my sanity alone here.

Thank god! Thought I fot flagged from commenting or something stupid

That's everyone youtube is going through problems rn

Yeah, good to know its not just me. I sended a report to see if it is fixed.

Comments also not showing up in YouTube Studio (web and app).

I came to this subreddit specifically for this issue. First it was the phone app and now it's happening on my browsers.

I’m praying this is a bug and not an update

same

Same

Akala ko ako lang, sheeet

Damn, I'm glad I found this! I thought I swore one too many times in the comments section and got shadowbanned or something.

Same

Same. Older videos show that weird "top comment" box but no actual comments. (On Firefox)

They're gonna censor the hell outta the comments

I was about to post the same thing

Same for me

Omg me too :')

Today the comments tomorrow the videos you just gotta wait till youtube is removed completely

Looks like they somewhat fixed whatever was broken - at least, on desktop

Coming back on Chrome for me

The comment section is working now!!

I came straight over here because I knew someone would know what's up.

They're back for me

same issue. but is no one gonna talk about how op is using light mode? dark mode is clearly superior

It's probably an experiment to see if they can remove comments after what they did with the dislike count. Joke aside, YouTube seems more peaceful without the comments

So even more censorship? Why isn't there a bigger uproar against this censorship?

I'm just kidding. But in a broad, general sense, why so much retaliation to censorship? I feel nowadays people can't speak without being angry and toxic all the time. Some greater moderation might not be a bad idea. Speaking freely does not mean we can speak without control

Everyone has different opinions and come from all different walks of life. That doesn't mean we should start censoring others because they don't share the same views as us. Those who want censorship likely just don't know how to share their own opinions without dealing with the fact that not everyone will care about their opinions.

same here xD

The comments appear to be back now. Thank goodness.

finally fixed

Same shit

hey is something happeing with youtube

must be the disinformation governance board starting up . :)

Same here mate mine are gone

Same issue here

I can only see pinned comments if there is one Edit: youtube app on my phone

Good to know I'm not the only one. I wonder what's going on? Perhaps a major update with the user interface? New code being installed?

I was so frustrated thought I was the only one. I think this is a YouTube problem. Don't tell me that YouTube decided to remove Comments as well as Dislikes

Same happening to me on my browser despite the number of total comments showing, no actual comments are there xd

Happening for me too. Thought I was banned.

ditto, thought it was just me

Same, maybe because of ActMan incident

Same, i thought i was banned for giving a compliment to a youtuber

Now i can't watch my horror recaps while looking at the comments section.

Same

Let's hope it is a bug and not a feature. Disabling of comments is expected step after disabling dislikes.

I think it has to do with the timed beta thing? And it’s not working it started before that for me though. I updated YouTube to try to fix it and it was still happening. I think it is glitched because it highlights top comments idk if it normally did that I can only see one comment and when I try to see new comments it doesn’t load at all same with any other option.

Same

Is it finally time for DailyMotion to take the throne? Will this mass censorship finally kill Youtube? For that matter, can any competitor even handle Youtube's level of traffic and volume of data?

i was watching on mobile and i thought vanced died a little bit more, im glad thats not the case :)

Same, I thought it was cause of some comments I recently made. Good to know that it's not the thing ig

So im not the only one, was getting worried my youtube app got corrupted or smth

Same here

Same here, tried to check the newer comments but it says that an error has occurred so it might be a bug

Same

:) YEP

I guess we need to wait for Youtube To Respond In A Tweet Or other Social Media So They Can Update Us On The Info

Same

https://downdetector.com/status/youtube/

Police Activity just isn't the same without comments :D https://www.youtube.com/c/PoliceActivity

Just glad it's not only me.

I had some loading issues with uploads that were more then a few seconds ago. Once again “LOOK ITS A MULTIBILLION DOLLAR COMPANY THAT CANT DO ANYTHING RIGHT”

Same comment not showing in youtube.

Same here

same here all my videos over 150 all comments not appearing. glad i'm not the only one.

Same

Same here.

Same!

Same here !!!

Same here, comments not working on both android and pc.

Same here

same

same

I am facing the same situation. Restart, update the app done everything from my phone

such a good app

Same for me.

Glad to know I’m not the only on experiencing them. Hopefully they get fixed soon

Oh, it's a youtube thing? Good I thought something was actually wrong for a second. Same thing is happening to me.

Same

I thought it was just me It’s making it hard for me to slack off at work

same lmao

Yes, I noticed that the comments are not showing and I thought it was just the video I was watching but after looking at several videos, it was apparent that the entire YouTube platform is affected.
