How to Remove “Restricted Mode has hidden comments for this video” on YouTube.

If the comments on a YouTube video are hidden because of the restricted mode, you need to disable the “Restricted Mode” on YouTube. Alternatively, if you are connected to a private network, the system administrator may have enabled the “Restricted Mode.”

YouTube’s “Restricted Mode” is utilized by a tiny fraction of users that prefer to have a more limited viewing experience on the site, such as libraries, schools, and public organizations.

By default, Restricted Mode is turned off on YouTube.
