Comments turned off by YouTube
YouTube may have turned off comments on some content for safety reasons, like to protect minors and for other safety issues. This is not a result of your content violating our guidelines. Sometimes we may turn off comments on content, even if that content doesn't violate our guidelines. We do this to protect vulnerable creators or audiences.
Depending on the content, channel owners may be able to turn comments back on. We know that comments are important to creators and viewers alike, but we also take the safety of minors and other vulnerable groups and individuals seriously.
How can I turn comments back on for my content?
If comments on your video have only been temporarily turned off, updating your video’s comment settings will allow comments to appear on your video again.
If you re-enable comments and have minors in any of your videos, you should hold and carefully review all new comments. This lets you review comments before they're publicly posted to your videos.
