Was browsing the comments of a youtube video and posted a comment linking to my site.

I got the following response:
"We weren't able to add your reply. Please try again."

Never seen this before. Is YT mad because I put a link in my reply?

Thanks in advance

Yes you can not put links in your replies. they will also shadow ban you so it looks like your comment is posted but when you check from a different account it wont be shown

Yt will delete comments, which show evidences of spamming. I have faced this issue many times. After a few days, the comments disappear.

Usually, you can't put links in your comments.

There are some people doing that, but they have some methods to put links in their comments. If you want to put links, you'll need a lot of verified accounts (with phone number).. and a bot to post them. It's really hard to "stick" well these comments.

If you being doing this many times is posible that someone reported you and you can't comment in other videos, also they can block certain links or words, if you try to type about crypto, or earn easy money same wording copy pastes they block it, so maybe your link is now in the black list and detected as spam by youtube.

Posting links with fresh accounts will get them shadowbanned and comments won’t stick

I think is possible to mention @username and will be redirected to the channel and there you can have a banner with a link/QR code. Or to have a video uploaded.
