Hi everyone !!
How are you all doing? I hope the start of your year has been awesome so far.
Today I wanted to ask you what you think about something that I really really feel like doing.
Ever since I started youtube I have been getting spam, but over the last two months it has been A LOT of spam comments on my videos and I get both p****d off and kinda frustrated about it.

I don't have the best quality camera or mic, and I am not the biggest youtuber but when someone comments telling me that they subbed and would love for me to sub back and I can CLEARLY see they didn't subscribe, OR when someone starts off with, I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, its so awesome and then "subscribe to my channel" .. I just cant .. Automated comments are just really unnecessary !!

they all get automatically categorized by youtube as spam and put it m spam folder but it is still pretty annoying because its usually the same people with the exact same comment on one or more of my videos, and on other peoples videos..

SO HERE IS MY QUESTION:
I have been thinking about making a video reacting to the comments, blurring the name out ( because I obviously don't wanna give their channel any attention) but do you guys think I would get in trouble somehow?
I mean I wont mention anyone or anything like that.. just kind of react to the comments !

Let me know what you think

I have been getting annoyed by the same thing lately.. I feel you! I think it could be funny and I know other small YouTubers would think so too. You just have to decide if you want to add that onto your channel or if it fits with your theme and how people would react that are already subscribed to you. :)

Ugh nothing irritates me more than those people. You have the hard working youtubers who earn their subs and you have these lazy guys.
Yeah I was going to say no because it would give them a shout out almost but I didn't get to part where you'd blur their name. I can't see anything problem with it.

You could even show their name if you wanted to shame them and they can't do anything, they commented on YOUR video, so you can do whatever you want with that comment.

You should do it, it could be entertaining. Unfortunately it's unlikely the people guilty of this are unlikely to watch the video (they're too busy spamming lol)

If you do it, I would definitely watch it! lol I've been getting them a lot lately. Nothing is more annoying than seeing a comment go from, "Wow your content is really nice....." to "it would be even nicer if you could subscribe to us though." :stomp: I mean it can't be any different when youtubers have a video that starts off with people asking for them to make something in the comments or shoutout videos. At least you would blur their name. :)

I agree !! Thanks, I will try to film it this weekend :) !!

That would only make people go to their channel and I dont wanna give those people any kind of promo but I get where you were coming from !!:)

I saw this thread was moved to another forum, I am sorry I just didn't know where to post this :)

You won't get into any trouble :) If you make it, link it! I'll watch it... (or not, I could be a spammer....)
