I don't live in the US so I, supposedly, don't use a version of the app controlled by the Ellisons and I still have the same issue.
ByteDance global could still do this autonomously but who knows.

I've had two people comment the exact same thing under my video, one comment got folded the other still remains normal

They're folding comments to punish active commenters and people who engage meaningfully with creators.

My theory is it also makes us a little less likely to notice the absurd amount of repetition from bots but your theory makes a lot of sense too

Okay this actually makes me feel more sane because I legit thought I had gotten shadow banned from commenting or something because it felt like half of the comments I was making across all videos were getting folded

I have to go to my comment filters for my own comments on my own videos. 99% of my comments go to the filters no matter what I say

they are also limiting comment interaction. I contacted them because I was not getting responses to any comment I made or of any comment in the video. They responded (I posted a picture of their response) that it is NOT a bug, but a new feature they are "testing".

I get my comments removed everyday, without a notification. Like I get violated on some, appeal and win or lose but some comments just go off into a void and I never see them again.

And you can’t even see that there are folded comments until someone comments something that’s not folded and it’s so random what they fold

The individual commenters have a score and synergy is quashed

kinda but not just. its any remotely negative word, regardless of context. its the easiest, cheapest way to do content moderation, not caring at all that most are actually false positives

100% this is it, the way I made a video about Erik Sch mid t and got 0 views, insanely obvious behaviour

I doubt that they all exist under any vid. it could be talking about one of the dumbest things or just a fan post and the comments are still folded.
