Yes -- they just close the account without explanation, and you can no longer sign in on it. They also shadow ban your comments, so that they only appear to you (like with YouTube, you open the comment section in a "private" / "incognito" window to check if it's visible to anyone but who posted it).

Dropped that vax-cattle barn years ago. Reddit is to online fora what television today is to entertainment.

You do t have to do that with youtube. Just change the sort from top to newest or vice versa and you can see if yours got removed.

Not if the comments are being shadow banned -- i.e., made visible only to the user making the comment. Often, and especially where comments are being posted in real-time, no even the total comment counter is accurate (a higher comment count shown when signed in).
