How to fix YouTube Not Showing Comments

Is KZbin not showing comments? Here is a quick fix.
First, make sure to update the KZbin app if this is happening on your app.
It could be that restricted mode is turned on which limits what comments you can see.
If you are using an iPhone, you can delete or offload the app and reinstall it.
Your channel setting or video may be set for kids. This will disable comments on the video.
You can also delete chrome cookies and that may solve your issue too.

What's really frustrating is KZbin does not provide an explanation regarding why a comment is not appearing. Instead it just does nothing. Extremely frustrating.

@@jtzr1371 yes! They've really been hitting it hard recently. My theory is the use of certain words (keywords) that the AI automatically hides. I can only see certain comments in my notifications, but when I click on the comments section that says it has...say 10 comments, there might only be half or less. There's also the possibility of all the spammer bots getting reported and the comment gets hidden.

[@C.L.190]

I had this issue just a few minutes ago and no matter what I did comments didn't show up. It did that on 3 different accounts and on different devices and different channels/videos. After trying to figure it out for a half hour, the comments just started showing up out of nowhere. I don't know crap about software but it might just be some kind of lag? Try again in 30-60 minutes

[@ElizaDolittle]

Unfortunately, none of these apply to the problem I am facing with YT comments. What I am noticing is that when I scroll down to the comments under the videos, I read the initial comment, but when I click on the replies to that comment, not all show up. For example, it says "View 20 replies" but when I click on that only about 6 replies show up. I know this is not only happening to me because I have heard other people complain about the same issue.

@Kyle Hill KZbin employs some of the greatest programmers on Earth. There is no way this bug is accidental or unfixable by them. I'm a programmer myself and after contacting KZbin about the problem of comments not showing, I did actually get a reply from their representative Charlotte, who - and I'm not kidding here - insisted there was no problem at all and it must be my settings on my browser that was at fault. Whatever is really going on here, I can promise it's not going to change for a long time, at least until KZbin accepts that there IS a problem of user's comments simply not showing.

Al my vids (shorts) are set for not made for kids and all my settings that you mentioned are correct. When I upload a vid, the comments will be on, but after a short while they get turned off. I didn’t turn them off myself, nor mess with the videos settings after uploading it. I don’t know why this happens, and I have to manually turn them on several times for the comments to remain on. Also, when the comments get turned off (both automatically or because I set it that way), the video remixing is no longer available so people can’t clip it, collab with it, green screen it etc. There is no way to turn these back on. Does anyone know how to fix this? I haven’t been able to find anything that has worked.

[@JF42506]

The issue I am having involves Replies not comments exactly. Whenever I hit the little blue replies hotlink nothing seems to happen, but when I hit 'back' the reply I clicked on is there?? I wouldn't mind all that much, except it makes me start from the beginning of the comments section and it's super hard to keep track of where I'm at and what I was reading. Is there a way to change this setting? (Z-Fold 4)

The issue for me is that the replies to people's comments get hidden, even when I say to show them. It will say "4 replies" but then there's only one reply visible. Not always, but it's happening more and more.

Possible solution for those who tried everything and couldn't find a solution, please read. I had the same problem, my comments all the sudden stopped showing, like I put a comment on a video I can see it, but my friends can't. The comment was visible for my eyes only and when I check again, it is gone. Same with live videos, comments are visible to my eyes only. So I thought I maybe wrote something silly in the past that youtube decided to block me now from commenting and I remained a year like that, until I discovered this strange reason. It was actually because I was using a specific phone. Yes, this account I'm. Writing from now from some reason doesn't show comments when done that phone. So now I'm using a different phone but dame account. It is unexplained why KZbin works on one but not the other. It doesn't make sense, but I hope this solve your problem

[@BillAnt]

It's really a hit and miss. While I only watch KZbin on my Windows laptop (never in a mobile app), I tried posting with the same account from a different computer but some of my comments were still getting deleted randomly. I never spam or post anything political, in fact I was posting on some boring computer programming video. Turned out that YT deletes messages with the words GO and TO next to each other. Presumably considered a common phrase used by spammers. lol Crazy isn't it?!

After trying a ton of other fixes, cleared cookies, browsing history, disabled extensions etc. my browser then opened on one of my monitors set to landscape orientation. Suddenly the comments were showing but when I moved the same window back to the Portrait monitor the comments disappeared. Moved it back to a Landscape monitor and slowly reduced the window size and at a certain point the comments disappear. Increasing the size of the window eventually brings the comments back. Tried Firefox and the same thing happens but the window size can be reduced a lot more before the comments disappear.

I have a peculiar problem which never happened before. Someone posted comments on two of my videos and I came to know about them through email alerts, however when I went to the comments sections of these videos I could not see the comments, they were simply not there. Is it possible that the person making the comments committed some mistake? These comments were not even held for review. These comments were not at all offensive nor objectionable in any way. Comments by other viewers have appeared without any problem in the same comments section. Never faced a situation like this before, could you help?

[@DownhillAllTheWay]

When I write a long comment (eg 20 lines), I read through it after posting, and if it has error in it, I edit it. Then I continue reading the rest of it, and if I come across another error and edit it a second time and save it. Everything looks OK, but I get a message in red at the bottom of the comment saying that it wasn't saved. At this point, the only thing I can do is to cancel it - and it's gone! The only thing is to re-write it, so now, every long comment I make, I do in an editor first so that if I lose it, I have a backup copy, and can copy/paste it again. I think this only happens after the second edit, but there have been occasions when I have replied to somebody, then noticed after a few days that my reply is no longer there, and I think I only edited it once, or possibly not at all.

[@mothratemporalradio517]

i think disappearing comments problems are multifaceted and i defo believe editing is one thing that can make the platform twitchy. Either that or the process simply shows that a comment failed to post. i lean towards "editing definitely makes it twitchy". Other factors - number of posts made in a given timeframe, settings of individual channels, bad faith flagging that sends the AI censor barking up the wrong tree, and links even for YT videos, even if they successfully post, as well as cutting/copying and pasting in the text box. If only the YT archive wasn't so incredible. I don't think the platform can handle billions of users without things going wrong, realistically.

@@TonyEnglandUK true that I am running multiple issues that I find concerning. One being this issue posted here with the disappearing comment. I ended up using the same solution of copying any message I write, and double checking to make sure my comments actually post and dont get eaten. Then theres the issue of comments that are simply there, but youtube hides them. at first i thought people were just getting banned or censored like crazy,... but some messages that reach my notification feed dont show when I try to open them on the youtube page it is on. They simply arn't there(which also limits my ability to respond) And because of what I can see from the feed, I know theres nothing wrong with them. Yet at the same time,... for peoples whose comments show, their comments ALWAYS show... and for the ones that arnt showing, I cant ever see them. Like KZbin is trying to separate us. I should be seeing everything according to my settings tho. And they must be seeing me, to make the replies. And you know more people than even that are there due to the "show hide 20/odd comments" only showing freaking like 10 people or less. Half or so of whatever it says. Like, what the hell youtube? occasionally, one more lengthy comment chains... it will look like people are talking to others who are not there. And there will be like 10 comments or so missing, that people are replying to, so you know they are there... somewhere. Then suddenly at like the ass end of the chain, that persons there and they have a few comments finally showing. I can hop on any video at all, and find these issues within seconds. It's ridiculous.

Thanks for your advice and I've checked everything that you've mentioned and none of these is the issue.

Same. It was a spam comment with a link, which I was able to 'hide' from the bell/notifications drop down, but I cannot see the comment ON my channel (it's the first/only comment right now), so I'd like to remove it, but I can't access it below the video. It just says '1 comment'. I've tried toggling between 'most recent' or 'top comment', and it still doesn't show up so I can delete it directly. Any intel on how to see it and delete it? Thanks!

I can write my comments to ommit the third line so i can see it. I don't know if it affects only affects me or if other people see the third line missing. It only happens if i press RETURNS (that means if i press return three times the current line will be missing. It does not happen if i just write and let it format itself. WEIRD)

[@OnlyBeauty2Blue]

Didn't work. Still not showing a comment on one of my videos even though it says someone commented. I am wondering if youtube blocked the comment because the notice said it was a web link. I don't have it set to review or anything, but the look of the address could be a virus or spyware link. I don't know if they do that but it would explain why nothing is working to view the comment, review the comment, or see it on another device or account. (Yes I looked through my friends account and he couldn't see it either.) The reason I wanted access was to remove it if it is a link, but I can't view it or manage the comments.

[@annb8296]

I finally got my comments back. I followed what you said about going to you tube studios on my android and advanced settings. The setting to set it 'as channel not made for kids' was not checked when it had been before. Something must have changed my settings. So I re-checked it back to the not made for kids setting. Also the Allow All Comments was not checked when it had been before. So I reset that back too. I'm not sure why these settings were not in their original positions as I had not updated the app yet or changed anything. After resetting these things I did the new app update. Then I rebooted my phone. Restricted mode was already off. I couldn't re-install the app as it's defaulted on my phone and I didn't want to force stop it as I hear not to do that unless you absolutely have to. Regarding the Background App Refresh I don't have that option on my Android. Do you know how to do that on an Android? Well to sum it up I did what you said which I feel was a large reason, in addition to the update, that I am able to see my comments now so thank you for that. What is weird is that at first a couple of comments I typed would stay and be there when I came back. Some would not remain and none of the ones I typed in the Shorts would remain. Well I went to sleep as I was so upset. Then when I woke up a few hours later everything worked and now I can see my comments that I type. I can't see the ones I typed that had disappeared on me but the new ones I can. So what you had mentioned did work just hours later though. Go figure, that's you tube for you 😵‍💫😂

Unfortunately I'm having a completely different issue than any of those. When I reply to a comment on someone else's video and get a reply back, I get a notification for the reply and I can read their response. But if I go to the actual youtube video and expand the particular comment thread that contains my response, I can't see their response. Ever. It just isn't there. In fact, I never see *any* responses that were made after my reply. My reply is always the last comment shown in the chain, even if multiple people replied directly to me in the same chain as evidenced by my notifications. I can see all their replies under my notifications tab, but literally none on the actual videos. This happens whether I'm using the KZbin App on my phone or on my computer, after I clear history and cookies, and it even happens if I go to the video in incognito mode so I'm not even logged in to an account. I'll go down to the comment thread that my reply is buried in and expand it, scroll down to find my response, and there will be no comments after it...even though I know for a fact there are 3 separate replies to my comment from different people based on my notifications. This has happened on multiple videos now and multiple comment threads. The fact that it's happening on every video on the mobile app, on my laptop, after deleting cookies, and even in incognito mode when I'm not even logged in means that this issue makes no sense whatsoever and I can't even begin to fathom what's going on.
