YouTube will then review the comment and, if it determines that it is indeed spam, will remove it from your video.

Use comment filters
Finally, you can also block certain words from appearing in comments on your videos. To do this, go to your YouTube settings and select “Comment filters.” Here, you can enter words or phrases that you want to block. Any comments that contain these words or phrases will automatically be filtered out.
Here are some tips to help you prevent spam YouTube comments:
-Regularly check and delete any spam comments that slip through the cracks.
-Make sure your YouTube channel is set to “Public”. This will make it harder for spammers to target you.
- Use YouTube’s comment moderation tools. You can find these tools by going to your “Advanced Settings” under the “Comments” section of your YouTube account.
-Consider using a CAPTCHA on your comments section. This will help to reduce the amount of spam comments you receive.
Impact of spam on your YouTube channel
While a little bit of spam here and there might not seem like a big deal, the truth is that it can have a significant impact on your YouTube channel. Not only can it make your videos look less professional, but it can also lead to people unsubscribing from your channel. Worse yet, if YouTube detects that you have a lot of spammy comments on your videos, they may penalize your channel, which can result in fewer views and less revenue.
For these reasons, it’s important to delete spam YouTube comments as soon as you see them. But how do you do this?
The good news is that YouTube makes it fairly easy to delete comments. Simply go to the “Comments” section of your YouTube channel and hover over the comment you want to delete. You should see a trashcan icon appear on the right side of the comment. Click on this icon and the comment will be deleted.
If you have a lot of spammy comments, you may also want to consider using a tool like Bulk Delete for YouTube. This tool allows you to delete up to 1,000 comments at a time, which can save you a lot of time if you have a large number of spammy comments to deal with.
