Not sure if this is the place to post this, but after some testing it appears YouTube shadow bans the word "cis" now (as well as the phrase "shadow banned" itself.)

Can't get any screenshots right now, but I left a comment on the recent Onion video about the white house trans alarm, just a funny little bit about how republicans can't decide what bathroom trans people should be using.

It stayed up for a while, then just suddenly vanished. I tested a combination of words to see what triggered it. Any comments that I used the word "cis" in were instantaneously shadow banned. Additionally, when trying to let people know about that, I discovered merely referring to a shadow ban also gets your comment shadow banned, presumably to keep people from talking about the practice.

Just to be safe, I control-F'd and searched the entire comment section for the word cis. It was a video about trans people. It's a straight up inevitability that it'd be used at least once. But nope, not a single reference to the word anywhere in the comments. That settles it in my mind.

I don't know why I expected YouTube to be better than that.
