Censoring external link is also a pain. Web is dying.

In the case of YouTube at least, to me this seems like it's probably overcorrection being done to try to manage the particular brand of extremely over-the-top negativity that's commonly seen in the comments section. Comments like this often require moderation for being abusive or otherwise breaking ToS but can't be handled right away, so they bubble the positive comments up to so at least the questionable comments are buried a bit and don't get as strong of a bandwagon effect.
If this is what's actually happening, it's a case of particularly nasty commenters ruining it for everybody.

Which is a worse problem to the minority than the over-correction is to the majority. Yeah, it makes sense what YouTube is doing, but I wish people would see it for what it is and understand that it definitely isn't a healthy space. Heck, where is these days?
I've noticed it for the last couple years too.
There is heavy censorship on interactivity in most web apps today. Searching is restricted, discussion is restricted and viewing other discussions is restricted. Restricted by YouTube's bias.
