Скачать или смотреть 3 Things I Learned about How to Hide or Delete Unrelated YouTube Video Comments

Want to keep your comment section clean and focused? In this video, you'll learn how to hide or delete unrelated YouTube comments that distract from your content, spam your viewers, or go completely off-topic. Whether you're a small creator or growing channel, managing your community is key to viewer trust and engagement.

Bear in mind, it can take up to 48 hours for the users comment(s) to be hidden from all other users on YouTube. You also have the option to bring the comment(s) back if you wish by removing the user from your hidden folder.

📒 Show Notes 📒 :

When dealing with an off-topic comment on your YouTube video that promotes an external financial professional (or any unrelated service), here’s the best approach:

1. Assess the Intent:
Spam/Scam? If the comment is clearly spammy (e.g., "DM me for financial advice! 💰"), it’s likely violating YouTube’s policies.

Misguided but harmless? If it’s just irrelevant but not harmful (e.g., someone randomly sharing their own unrelated advice), you might ignore it.

2. Take Action Based on Severity:
Hide the Comment:

Use YouTube’s "Hide user from channel" feature (click the 3 dots next to the comment). This removes it from public view without notifying the user.

Best for: Mildly off-topic or self-promotional comments you don’t endorse.

Delete the Comment:

If it’s misleading or could harm viewers (e.g., "This financial advisor made me rich—here’s their WhatsApp!").

Report as Spam/Scam:

If the comment is deceptive or phishing-like, report it to YouTube (click "Report" → choose "Spam or misleading").

3. Public Response (Optional):
If you want to address it publicly (to show vigilance), reply politely but firmly:
"Hi [User], this comment isn’t related to the video’s topic. Please note I don’t endorse or verify external financial services. Thanks!"

Why? Warns other viewers while keeping the tone professional.

4. Prevent Future Issues:
Enable Comment Filters:

Go to YouTube Studio → Settings → Community → Add blocked keywords (e.g., "investment," "DM for money").

Pin a Disclaimer:

Pin a top comment reminding viewers to avoid unverified financial advice.

Key Takeaways:
Hide/Delete: For spam or harmful content.

Ignore: If it’s just off-topic but not risky.

Engage Publicly: Only if you want to set an example for your community.

YouTube’s algorithm may also penalize channels with spammy comments, so proactive moderation helps your channel’s health. Hope this helps! 🚀
