I noticed one of my comments was shadowbanned, I thought it was the channel that did it. Hmm, I don't comment much on YT, I guess I won't at all now. NBD.

The issue is with your ad blocker, not YouTube, though YouTube has no incentive to tell you what is going on as it would help out bots trying the same thing.

I don't like Brave but they seem to have gone to the effort of whitelisting the heartbeats, so use that for YouTube comments.
