oh yeah, I've certainly had my fair share of nasty comments...some directed at me, and some just flat out terrible in general...

I've been called a boring stupid idiot, someone who doesn't know who they're talking about (and in much meaner terms) as well as having people leave racist comments on some of my videos on more controversial topics (ie; the news topic rants...part of the reason why I've decided to put that mini series on hold for the time being until I figure out what to do with that series...)

So.. here lately we have been getting some really nasty comments.. some from younger kids.. Some say our videos are cringey.. some say the boys are stupid (this one really bothers me).. some even say they wish they could die after seeing this.. has anyone else experienced this? I have a few times made mean comments back.. but I know that isn't the way to handle things. Most of the time I report it.. I was thinking about disabling comments... Thoughts?
I just ban trolls and keep it moving! They want you to cringe, but don't give them the satisfaction.

This is one of the biggest reasons why I don't use my kids. People feel invincible when they are anonymous and say crazy mean things they would never say in real life. I agree that it also means your channel is gaining momentum...fortunately and unfortunately.

I can stomach comments made at me, but not my kids. Your kids are adorable. I can't imagine how anyone can say anything mean about them!!

I think all of us here experience it, but it does not make us give up even become our encouragement to make better video, let them talk what is important we continue to work by making good and quality video, out there are still many people who likes our videos rather than people who hate them.

If u think they are troubling you, I think there is an option to blacklist them in channel settings. I can take negative feedback from people, however repeated negativity is NO NO for me. So I block them.

Every day we get many unfortunately. I don't pay attention to them, I much rather focus on the sweet and warm comments we get and delete/ban the others. Endless cycle though of nasty comments but the language filter does a good job of keeping most of it out.

Just moderate your comments like me. There will always be haters and the best thing to do is 1. Ignore them, and 2. Have a haters's quota, so an average amount of dislikes and comments from people with no brains per video or period of time.

We get a constant stream of troll comments, it just rolls right off us. We just laugh at them. We filter out curse words and hate words too, so our fans don't have to read other people's hate and dirt.

Don't take it personally. It's not personal, they don't even know you.
Don't engage or respond. It just encourages them. Instead, respond to the nice people.
Focus on the positive comments and the views. That tells you much more than the trolls.

Just remove any negative comments, ban them, etc. but don't disable your comments completely
