Many content creators on YouTube are frustrated by the increase in comment spam on their channels. Similarly, YouTube is also reportedly testing a feature to overcome this.
This spam issue is considered very important to be resolved immediately, as many creators are concerned because they are seeing more spam comments with malicious intent impersonating them in an attempt to deceive their subscribers.
YouTube comment spam can take many forms. Typically, content creators with high subscribers are often concerned about spam impersonating them, promising subscribers something nice to message them, and then directing individuals off YouTube in some way to deceive them.
Other spam comments may be less harmful, but still annoying or potentially harmful. Some content creators who experience comment spam such as Linus Tech Tips, Jacksepticeye, and MKBHD.
“YouTube has a problem. Spam. From crypto scams to health supplements to free Robux, it keeps getting worse every day,” said Linus Sebastian on February 1 on his YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips.
YouTube does have a lot of tools to combat spam comments, and it deletes a lot of comments automatically. The company uses machine learning and human review.
"More than 950 million comments for violating our policies around spam, misleading and fraud. Most of these deletions were first detected by the auto-tagging system in Q4 2021," said YouTube spokesperson Ivy Choi quoted from The Verge, Sunday (10/10). /4/2022).
That system is clearly not enough and YouTube is aware of it. Therefore, YouTube is experimenting with a new moderation feature, which was revealed by Marques Brownlee, the owner of the MKBHD channel through his Twitter.
This feature is claimed to increase the severity of potentially inappropriate comments, which will then automatically be held for review.
"Given the evolving nature and tactics of shifting spam content, we will continue to adapt our system to keep it up to date," said Choi.
