I noticed that comments under my videos are disappearing at first I thought YouTube was putting them into the spam section so I checked that's not it, for the past couple days my comments have been slowly disappearing!

I always get that. Like, it say I got 2 comments but I only see 1. I kinda think maybe... whoever commented either decided to delete their comment for whatever reason, or they deleted their original so they can post a corrected version of their first post.... but the Youtube counter doesn't change to reflect that.

I wouldn't think people would be deleting their comment every day, one comment disappears a day that's been happening for a couple days now[DOUBLEPOST=1504578838,1504578773][/DOUBLEPOST]

I also noticed likes and dislikes disappearing

Tons of comments on our channel get classified as spam, but they aren't always spam. Sometimes I think if the person commenting is doing it too fast or doing it multiple times, it gets picked up as spam.

I know what you're talking about, I've got the same thing on my channel... YouTube says a video has say, 3 comments, but when you go to read the comments under the actual video there'll only be 2 comments visible. Nothing in spam or waiting to be approved or anywhere else... I wondered if they were accounts that got deleted. Your analytics show X comments because X comments were actually left, but because the account was deleted, the comment itself gets removed from the comments section.

Disappearing likes/dislikes could be the system recalculating for what it believes to be "fan voting".

Thats strange, it's happened to me before on a few videos, and I just assume the comment had been deleted by the user, or if it had been a long time since the comment had been made I just assumed that the actual account itself could have been deleted
I'm not really sure the specific reason, but especially on my bigger videos (like my top 3 most viewed videos) I have had quite a few comments go missing! some of them were butthurt comments, like someone trying to correct me on something I said in the video then realising that i was actually right, that comment disappeared within a few hours of it being posted haha

I've noticed that the amount of comments it says I have is never correct. I think it might be a glitch because it happens on just about every single video.
