YouTube Question Odd comment behavior

[Tito Tim]

I recently got a comment that YouTube held back for review, and I cannot get it to display on the video page. To be fair... it was an ill-informed opinionated twit. He made all kinds of odd accusations, that have nothing do with me: assuming I am retired military, saying how much money (he thinks) I make etc. And he feels that when you cuss, it must be in all caps with too many exclamation points. Normally I just block the user and move on, but I felt generous that day. I tried to approve the comment, and got a YT popup asking if I would like to report them for community guidelines infraction. Again I clicked 'approve' comment - and again YT recommended I report it. The 3rd time I clicked approve, it appeared to approve. I made a fun reply, and tried to pin his comment to the top, just for fun. There was no 'pin' option. I looked at the video page and the comment was not showing up. On the comment page of Studio the comment is there.

So it appears to be partially approved? YouTube still will not display it. Is this a normal comment behavior? As rude as his comment was, it was no worse than I see on many channels. I wonder why it will not show?

I've gotten a few goofy commenters too. Phishing emails from YT accounts that use URLs in their account name.

I am never quite sure I resolve these types of comments correctly. If you report them, they disappear from my screen but I wonder if they are really gone.

I've reported spam comments for another Youtuber and it disappears from my immediate browser. But when I go to another browser, those same spam comments are visible. It is weird.

In your case, perhaps YT is flagging them internally regardless of your lenience?

I say ban them.
