I don't understand why this keeps happening. Every single time I get a new comment on my videos, it's reported as spam and I have to manually accept it. I've gone to settings, creator studio, everywhere I can possibly think of or what I can change and still all comments are reported as spam. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, please tell me how you resolved it.

If you see basic comments like 'Nice video!' it's probably spam.
Alot of profile pictures with hot girls comment on my videos asking me if I want to check out their new video
and im just like who the hell are you and how did you find me LOL.

Usually if they include a link it will put it in spam as a precaution. Or a short answer without much detail. Sometimes I get people asking for subs in there or weird messages that dont make sense. I just delete them.

I think if a commenter watches less than 30 sec or so (I'm not sure exactly how long) of the video it ends up in spam - if all your views are sub for sub type of viewers. I wasn't sure why that was happening in our channel too but it makes sense if that is what is happening. It seems like this is the initial strategy to grow your channel.

Because it probably is spam.
They probably copy + paste on a lot of videos.

Especially if they mention to check their channel out in their comment.
