This is the same reason all the online papers stopped their comment sections around 2014-2015. They would write their propaganda puff pieces about Trannies, White Supremacy, etc. and the comments were 90% "What a bunch of bullshit. 13/50% Murders! 41% Suicide!" and had to be removed to facilitate bullshit peddling.
My memory sucks, but I seemed to recall the comment sections rapidly disappearing during trumps term, but maybe it started earlier and I just wasnt paying attention. I think it was an election year (maybe even midterms) when google changed their rules so all websites which used google ads / services were held to account on any "hate speech" appearing on their website, which included comment sections, even if they used 3rd party comments like faycebook or discuss. Of course, the expected (and intended) result was tons of websites ripped out their comment sections because policing their comments was unrealistic and expensive, and not worth jeopardizing their precious ad revenue stream. I suspect govt may have made google do this, but it could also have been wokers trying to "prevent orange hitler from winning elections".
The thing is I do believe russya and chyna do have large scale propaganda campaigns against us. But I also think the us govt does it too, regardless of foreign campaigns upon us. Seems like a good excuse for our govt to take control and experiment on us.

It began shortly before the 2016 election since it was becoming clear that Trump stood a real chance of victory.
The ONLY reason to read anything online is to see what the comments are on it. If you cannot comment, are shadow banned, or are censored, you're reading propaganda, and not an article.
The problem with comment sections is that they would rapidly "correct" the author and the articles. There are sites with "fake comments" like the NY Times - you can comment there, but nobody will see what you write. You can check by a 2nd browser in incognito mode that your comment is impossible to find. This happens on youtube as well.

Interesting. Are you sure it's not just a temporary thing, and that the comment actually shows up later? I know last year a YT comment of mine was visible the next day on a different computer where I wasn't signed in.
I can think of a couple reasons for a delay: - Approval queues, either human review, or automated reviews that may have a queue, possibly even intentionally delayed. i.e. I've heard when you upload a youtube video, that while the video appears pretty quickly to web visitors, the auto generated CC text sometimes takes minutes to hours to appear. So for comments, instead of showing you a comment placeholder, they may just display the comment back to the orig poster until a decision is made, in which case the comment becomes visible to other users, or gets deleted. - Synchronization between their numerous app and db servers. Many high scale systems accept eventual consistency in exchange for higher performance or other benefits. i.e. it's common to make a web visitor "sticky" to a certain application server, so if they have 10 web servers to spread load, they choose a single low-load server on your first request, and then associate you with that server for the duration of your session. Sometimes they set a cookie to store which server they want you to use (or they use your ssl session id), and then their front end routers/proxies will read that cookie id on future requests and route you to the right backend infrastructure. This way, they don't need to keep all servers in completely live sync, because they can just store session-level data on your particular node since all your requests will be routed to that node. Only certain data needs to be sync'd to other servers with high priority, which is better than making all data be sync'd with the same priority.
Approval queues might even be account specific, so only certain accounts are flagged and/or exceed some "dangerous speech" threshold where they do reviews.
It could just be a headfake tho. In 2022 I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

This time period seemed to have lots of govt activity in propaganda program changes.
- 2012 or 2013 obama changed or repealed some law from 1950 era that prevented us govt from using propaganda on americans.
- 2016 obama made some more propaganda changes, this time to "help other countries fight russian / chinese disinformation" https://www.portman.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/president-signs-portman-murphy-counter-propaganda-bill-law
