Not satisfied with unstoppable ads, fake endorsements of shady products, AI generated narration with every single letter in every single word over enunciated (hell to listen to for people like me who have severe misophonia and auditory issues) and now they have gone one better: you cannot view your comment history 🥴☹️

huh... didn't even know you could see your own comment history  :teddyr:

the ads are getting beyond ridiculoid I agree... notice it's recently gone from having to wade through 2 ads before a vid to often THREE ads... generally the first ad in a sequence will be unskippable and about 20 secs long, and the next one (or two) will let you skip them after 5 seconds

what I can't stand is when you're watching a vid and some random 10 MINUTE LONG ad will come on... it'll be skippable, but if I'm lying down while just listening to a show or vid, that's mega annoying.

I can see my comment history. Maybe they just moved it? On my YouTube page there is a pane to the left with a heading called "Subscriptions" then below that a heading called "You." Under "You" is a subsection "History." Hit that and a pane opens to the right. Go to "Manage History" then "Comments" and there they are.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

QuoteThere have been widespread reports in early 2026 of a "vanishing act" where users cannot see their comment history or video descriptions.

The Reality: YouTube has not officially removed the ability to view comment history. You can still technically find it under Google My Activity > Other Activity > YouTube Comments.

The Problem: A persistent bug (often linked to ad-blocker detection or server-side updates) has been causing the "Comments" and "About" sections to fail to load for many users across Chrome, Edge, and Brave. To a user, it looks like the feature is gone, but it's usually just broken.
Is it October yet?
