Maybe you should be able to hire a spam moderator. Someone who is trustworthy enough to catch the comments that are spam just like when you’re going live. Maybe they get some type of paid incentive for catching spam and blocking it. 🤔🤔🤔
Now the bots are suddenly nowhere interesting 🤔
I think the scams are much more prevelent on bigger chanels, because they reach more people.
moistcritical and jacksepticeye made a video about this too
HOW DID THIS EVER HAPPEN?!?!
Good Problem statement!
Just tell Will Smith these fake accounts have been talking sh*t about his wife.
ThioJoe is so underrated.
Not just bots spamming tech channels, but they have to ban camgirls copying comments as their own.
to be fair, this is the only channel i know where that happens
Finally someone acknowledges this!
Falling for simple spams like the most basic scams of all time is purely stupidity taxation.
However nonsense comments ought to be blocked and it seems that YouTube is unwilling to fix the problem cause they figured the scam bots counts as page views and that means revenue. Fixing the scam accounts is probably one of the simpler problems to fux for YouTube. Their ignorance of the comment section problems are quite telling of poor company management and lack of any core values, also proof of overpaid programmers not able to fix it.
A simple way is to block new accounts to make comments, and lift up that blocking by some proofs of reliable user.
Like reddit, they can make a score for each user comments, and only when they pass a certain number of points to be able to use comments.
My proposal for all popular social media:
Force users to verify identity to use app freely, and allow hiding or faking the identity only behind a pay wall.
who else is trying to find those comments lmfao
I don’t know how you can be so stupid to fall for it.
in fairness, half of them were asking for a massage for you 🤣
Dislikes is bigger problem on YouTube's perspective.
so many content creators are making videos about this, and everyone is complaining, but yet youtube does nothing
Well it kinda gave me a heart attack when i read that i have been selected as a winner. But when i read the name i was so much angry that i almost broke my phone.
✌🏻Thank you Marques👏
Yoh… Had this experience 3 weeks ago. I wanted to msg you on Twitter but didn't see the msg button. Almost parted with 180$ but I saw right through the scammer. I also clicked on the comment and took me to a different page, with no videos. The scammer even had the audacity to tell me winners page is different from the main page 🤣🤣🤣
And the thing is that we will now start typing these type of comments as joke, so youtube itself now will get confused as to delete them or not.
Indeed. That is exactly why I turned off reply notifications. Doesn't solve the problem, but drove me a bit less crazy.
I hope google gets sued over this. Then they will work on it trust me
This seems to be a topic @atomic shrimp would be interested in
I am trying to find bot comments here
Reddit style comments would instantly solve most of the problems imo.
First world problem spam spam
Third world solution remove dislike
Yesterday I was scammed by somebody saying I won some things on the behalf of MKBHD. I have the screenshots if you want to take actions.
It's because of Google's usual half-assed approach to everything. 💯
Two more things to add to the algorithm besides the name, most of the impersonators will be using your exact profile picture, and won't have a verification tick beside their names. I guess adding these two elements to the algorithm will block scammers much faster.
SO THATS NOT YOU!!!
If YouTube is so afraid that their scam delete algorithm will delete geniune comments… Then attach a scam warning tag for comments that the algorithm is not sure of and only delete the ones that are for sure scams.
Rant video!
