Every video there's some scammer in the comments promoting their crypto business! It was getting ridiculous

    "One of the best things about this dude is that he never takes credit for himself when he achieves something. He always respect us, the audience, and his team, and he is always polite in all of his videos. We congratulate ourselves on this achievement. More to come and everything."

    Seriously, I am so done with this one! 😑

      there shouldn't be a comments section on youtube videos. I don't want to see what some uneducated Joe Schmoe thinks.

Because if you have you'll know that spam comments is a serious issue with scammers having a field day. I don't know why some people always think someone is oppressing them. YouTube getting better spam filters is a good thing. If your make abusive comments and get banned or have the comments deleted then that's on you.

                  If it was on me any bad behavior ,swearing and bad attitude should end with a perma ban of the account also a google account.
                  People which can understand most basic and treat others like humans have eno place and space and rights to comment anything and anywhere.
                  Let give each person equal chance to write whathewer his freedom wants.

                          More tools to silence people.
                          First the took away thumbs down counter to say to protect small accounts for downvoting.
                          While it actually was for big companies like hollywird.

                          This spam is coming cause all the filters dont let you comment as they will delete it so people need to comment in spam form.

                          It's just new fancy way to say we need more tools to silence people.
                          Like in Twitter for shadow ban they said they dont have it but have visibility filtering. That means same thing as shadow banning but in these words it does not sound so bad while still does
