I Love YTtalk
On my YT channel, I have recently been getting crazy amounts of spam, even though i have less than 100 subs. Read this one: Screen Shot 2015-08-04 at 09.43.10.png
What annoys me is he has never commented on one of my videos before (he wrote this in the discussion page) and he also said he subscribed, so I proceeded to check his subscriptions and he hadn't subbed. Im getting loads of these messages sent through privately so no one else can see how desperate these people are.
These people don't even bother watching one of your videos and will just copy and paste the same comment in each car channels discussion page.
Does anyone else get loads and loads of spam messages?

Haven't currently started my channel up, but when i used to do youtube a few years ago yeah this was quite a common thing, although not all were spam some were real requests to do a video together
 
Whilst I can't say I get loads and loads, I get a fair few. I delete them or I answer them saying thank you... even if they haven't subscribed, at least they know I'm polite :')
 
I have gotten maybe 4-5. I say thank you, check out their channel and if I like it I subscribe, if I don't, well I don't :p

I know this sounds harsh, but even if there content was the best on youtube, i wouldn't subscribe, just purely because of how they said they'd subscribed when they hadn't, just to get me to check out their channel. They obviously had never had watched a vid on my channel.

Well if they blatantly lie to you I wouldn't either :p
 
I would say that if possible try and get most/all comments authorized by you for the time being but if not then you can block that user from commenting or just delete it from the video. Overall I can understand how it's annoying and how you don't want it on your video.
 
Sub4sub ? No. It's not good for you in the long term. They are not loyal to you, and YouTube unsubscribes any sub not watching at least one video.
