    In case this hasn't happened to you on #YouTube, *sometimes* YT accepts, but then silently deletes,😡 comments w/ URLs - like Wikipedia refs. Write, post helpful comment w/link. Try to edit, or refresh page and it's gone! ☹️☮️👎#YouTubeSucks #IHateYouTube
    Hence, I seldom try to share WP links on *unfamiliar* channels. Unclear if URL-kill is a default setting, an optional setting by overzealous channel mods trying to avoid spam / trolls and/or YouTube algorithm(s)☹️ #EverythingIsStupid

  2. @henry Super-helpful video to show behind-the-scenes YouTube creator UI UX controls.👍
    Rant: always frustrated when #StupidYouTube allows me to post, but then shortly and silently deletes, my (hopefully) thoughtful / helpful comment. Sometimes comments with no controversial text, but with URL (I like to provide receipts!), get silently nuked☹️😡👎 - even YouTube URLs!😡 #YouTubeSucks #IHateYouTube

    FCOL, #YouTube should, at the very least, show "URLs not allowed" so people don't waste time trying...
