If there any spam or bulk comment in my video, I prefer to use filtered comment. On my video comment setting.
Don't forget to use that setting before post a video.

YouTube Question Still any spam comments in your videos?
- Thread starter Fathur Rozy

I still get spam type of comments every now and then, I am gonna try to use filtered comments in the future.
I don't really get them as often. I used to get them whenever I mod the TB stream, but ever since YouTube removed the option to go to people's channels via chat, it's been pretty quiet 
Either way, they tend to get stuck in the "likely spam" section haha.

Yes report them and you can also block the user spamming from posting again.
I suggest putting common spam words like "Friends" "subs" "plz" "subscribe to me" etc into your banned words filter, that way any word that's regularly shown as a spam comment, won't show publically and will end in your spam folder. The less people who see spam comments in your comments, hopefully will mean the less inclined they are to try spam your comments. It's like growing a seed. If you plant a seed, and maintain that seed by removing the weeds at the roots, you'll have less weeds grow. But if you don't take action, the weeds will overtake the comments and more weeds will come along. So my bad words filter is MASSIVE. I'm now manually approving more inncent comments than I am deleting bad comments. I am in control of my comments, and I'm constantly learning new words to add.
"Friends" and "Friend" is a new addition to my banned words pile. If someone says "I drew one of your tutorials for my friend" I simply manually approve it

There are so many gaming channels that I find spamming my channel. I just like them and ignore them. I figure a comment is a comment, right?
I recommend checking @Stanley Orchard's thread about the perfect comment
YouTube Tips - Drafting the Perfect Comment
This is something that you really don't hear about too much, but is an exceptionally powerful tool that often goes overlooked when trying to gain a foothold on YouTube and other social media platforms. Comments get handed around so readily that many are lost in a sea of endless emojis and...
A comment is a comment, sure, but the nice thing about the comment section is the ability to connect with your audience. If there are spammers on your channel, all they're really doing is taking up space. Imagine it being a loiterer inside/outside your store lol.

Maybe we can make a tool that auto adds words to ban if you're interested in them.... hmmm
wonder if that could include adding words from chat? I often see sly little attempts at self promotion and sub begging with intentionally misspelled things, and the good old "hug" that makes me quietly add them while watching streams. 5 years ago I would never have thought "friend" and "hug" to be a "Bad" word, but in 2020, hug is the alternative to "sub" and all other variationsMaybe we can make a tool that auto adds words to ban if you're interested in them.... hmmm
but if there can be tools added to help manage that I'm all for it 
there actually used to be a bad spate of "oh yeah yeah" with the tommy waisu avatar ALL over YouTube, some of those avatars still linger, but it seems these new bots are a new version of that. Give it 6 months and they'll probably be tackled, then a new wave of bots will come along.

I could see that being incredibly useful!!!
