YouTube Opinion Those really confusing comments that love and hate at the same time...

[Beanie Draws]

So I'm going through my held for review section of my comments (my bad word filter is extensive, "plz" and "pls" are two words I block, I also block "good" to avoid one word "good" spam comments) and I notice there's one person posting 5 really hateful abusive comments... interestingly I recognize the name... I scroll down and notice they also posted some compliments. This has happened a few times, either someone goes from really nice, to being a complete jerk, or they go from being a jerk to being really nice.

Have you ever noticed those comments that are just a strange mix of hate and praise?

I've never had those before. Sometimes I'll get backhanded compliments xD

my life is full of backhanded compliments my favourite is always the "wow you're ugly but you draw really well" lol!

I think there are more sarcastic comments out there

Yay for backhanded compliments! I mostly get comments from "women" or rather, female bots, lol, that say something like, "I'm single" and then link to some site that's something I probably wouldn't want to have associated with my channel so it's "mark as spam" and then "delete" for me.

I do get accused of having an ASMR channel disguised by tech how-to videos because of my voice.

I've only ever gotten direct hate comments, I guess ppl don't have the time to think of ways they can two-face their comments from complimenting to hating lol.
