PrinzKasper@kbin.socialtoYou Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK that YouTube shadow bans people (for a time) + implications to creators

1 year agoShadow Banning is very useful for spam bots. If you let them know they’re banned, they’ll just open a new account. But if YouTube keeps accepting their comments with a smile on its face before immediately tossing those comments into the shredder, it’ll take some time before the bot figures out what’s going on.
If its open-source, couldn’t somebody just fork it and remove the login requirement?
