Hacker News Reader

One of the reasons I avoid commenting on YouTube whatsoever is the risk that an automated filter flags my comment and then nuke the whole account.

This idea seems similar. I have some accounts on social media that is being used for read-only. That's unfortunate reality.

This idea is not related to avoiding commenting. The Author is suggesting you comment.

I understand that. I'm just saying that this is the reason I avoid commenting even when I want to follow author suggestion. I agree with the author.

A fair number of YouTubers also have their own web sites, social media accounts, or other easy-ish ways to comment.
