YouTube is hiding comments mentioning “OpenStreetMap”

Can't replicate, I'm able to comment favourable things about OpenStreetMap[s] on random videos and have it stay up just fine.

Edit: I'd expect the video posted to back up its allegation with an example of a non-OpenStreetMap comment that wasn't hidden. Without that, I speculate that it may be some add-on that the user's installed that hides all YouTube comments, perhaps..?

Or just a bug, or an over-zealous spam filter, or any of a hundred other explanations other than "Google is actively suppressing mentions of OpenStreetMaps in youtube comments in order to maintain dominance of it's own mapping platform" based on a screen recording of one guy posting one comment.

Plot twist: the post was designed to trick people into testing the functionality and create publicity for OpenStreetMaps ;)
