I always assumed it was the poster who turns off comments, but I've just
seen one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScELaXMCVis) where "Comments
are turned off.", but the text starts "Please keep comments"…, so
obviously the poster was expecting comments; so, what gives?

Mine mostly do. I've occasionally had an "if you post like that we may
...", or even a day's ban - but they don't tell you which comment
triggered it, so it's not very informative. (The last time, I definitely
couldn't think what I'd done in the last few hours which could possibly
have been naughty; most of my comments were informative.)
I'm also puzzled why it often shows a number of replies higher than the
number of replies it shows (including sometimes showing there is a
reply, but when you click all that happens is the little blue arrow
turns round, no reply actually appears; even if someone had somehow
entered a null one, it ought to show their username).

3. If it doesn't work, it's physics.
