Good evening,
I recently watched a couple minutes of a popular youtuber named David Poz advertise an affordable, unknown brand 100+ Amp DC circuit breaker. In the video he mentioned the breaker was UL listed. I was highly skeptical of the price and quality, so I searched for it online. I work with UL/CSA products as part of my job and could not find his affiliate linked breaker in the UL database. I understand it's common in the DIY space to use unlisted products. I have a few random items myself. For the most part, I think it's generally okay to tinker with nonessential unlisted stuff, provided the proper training and circuit protection is in place. After all, this is a pretty DIY space. The item though, a safety CB, was certainly unlisted even though he stated it was. I posted a couple comments explaining my thoughts and included a link to the UL directory so one could see for themselves that the rating does not exist.
My question is, is it common for popular youtubers to delete disagreeing comments? Or perhaps does the youtube machine simply delete comments with links to protect users? I am new-ish to the youtube space so I'm a little ignorant.
Thanks,
thermo
