Ciro Santilli publishes videos of this not-so-common visual programming experiments on his YouTube channel occasionally: www.youtube.com/c/CiroSantilli. Ciro should however not be lazy and also upload each video produced to Wikimedia Commons, since YouTube does not offer a download option even for videos marked with a Creative Commons license: www.quora.com/Can-I-download-Creative-Commons-licensed-YouTube-videos-to-edit-them-and-use-them/answer/Tarmo-Toikkanen!
This is also where Ciro's downtime converged to in his early 30's, since he long lost patience for stupid video games and television series.
Ciro developed one interesting technique: while scrolling through YouTube's useless recommendations, when he understands what a channel is about, he either immediately:This helps to keep this feed clean of boring stuff he already knows about. There is unfortunately an infinite amount of useless videos out there however on the topics of:and no matter how much you say you don't want to hear about them, YouTube juts keeps on sending more.
- subscribes if it is amazing and then "Don't recommend channel"
- otherwise just "Don't recommend channel" immediately
- sports
- music, mostly idiotic top of the charts
- news and political commentary
- food
- programming tutorials. Meh, got Stack Overflow.
- stuff that is not in English, and notably languages that Ciro does not even speak!
- motorcycles
- ASMR
- cute animals
- gaming and movie commentary. Ciro is interested only in a very specific number of video games
- nature life, e.g. hiking, cycling, or living in isolation, this Ciro enjoys
- science for kids (popular science)
Things Ciro hates about YouTube:
- you can't follow or ignore a subject, only indirectly tell the algorithm about that. Once you click a popular cat video, you will be forced to watch cat videos for all eternity.
Likely FFmpeg is the backend of YouTube.

YouTube: From Concept to Hypergrowth Jawed Karim (2006)
Source. YouTube co-founder explains that the key enabling technology for YouTube was the addition of video capabilities to Macromedia Flash 7.It is incomprehensible how it works.
If there's anything remotely offensive, that's understandable, that the Google advertising censorship machine would take it down. But even perfecly polite comments are taken down.
And even as a channel admin, I cannot find the comment anywhere to approve it. They seem to be actually fully removed.
Also YouTube notifies you of some comments, but randomly does not notify you of others. I've checked Held comments and "Comments that may be offensive have been hidden".
Everything is very blurred and you can't be certain of anything.
One thing YouTube seems to not like is if you comment multiple times. Even when replying to the channel admin each time. Presumably to prevent spammers from adding a lot of replies.
And once it removes one of your comments from a thread, it starts to remove every single future comment from tha thread, that seems to be deterministic.
One thing to try with known users that make good comments often is "Mark user as approved user". But that feature is very hard to find on the web UI and its usage must be minimal.
Also the "I haven't respoded" tab simply doesn't work, and leaves dozens of comments unresponded not shown.
YouTube not usable as a commenting platform. It's just a huge noisy mess. Perhaps this is a reflection of our Internet world in general.
