Does YouTube block mentions of uBlock Origin or Sponsorblock in comments? (biglemmowski.win)

I was trying to give pointers to people in comments but it seems whenever I wrote uBlock Origin, "u B lock", SponsorBlock or "S p onSor Block" (without quotes) the comment would vanish within first minute.

Is this happening only to me/on this one specific video (in Czech, don't want to link because I don't agree with the points they said, though it was video about the adblock blocking of YT)?

It's a problem with all types of comments being flagged as spam and other things while others are not. Wouldn't doubt this is actual erasure on YouTube's part. Could replace some letters with emoji letters. Another is to write, copy and paste from a website that transforms the words into "aesthetic" fonts, many spam bots do this to keep their comments up.
