Steps to reproduce the bug

Access youtube by a browser using your google account and add a comment to a video.
Open the same video with new pipe: 9 out of 10 times, your comment won't show up in the list. Not even after clearing the cache.

Expected behavior

One is expected to see all comments to videos. Note that the comments left CAN be seen regularly when accessing the same YT video using a browser

Actual behavior

9 times out of 10 the comment list of a video is not updated, as though there were some internal cache hard to be cleared

Additional information

No response

Try to open the video after it without account (for example in private tab of the browser) and tell if you can see your comments there. I've noticed that youtube tends to show you your comments but for some reasons they are often invisible to others (especially if they contain links) and I observed it without newpipe

@dustdfg good catch, you were right ! If I access YT anonymously, I can't see my comments any longer !!! An YT bug ? Or a nasty ban ?? Anyway sorry for alarming for nothing. Consider this bug report closed.

Not related to Newpipe but on youtube (website) you can sort comments by "top" and "newest". Did you check both? Sometimes your comments doesn't make their way to both of them but getting in at least one of them is easier

Yes, I tried, sorting by Newest First. My comment did not show up unless I am logged in !! Total crazienss... Again, thanks for pointing out, and sorry for having suspected of a bug or unwanted caching effect by NP
