Woke up this week to about 15 really abusive replies from about 3 different account. All over something I’ve described as a personal experience. I’ve been called a “liar” and “a c***” just for describing that.
I went to block and realised I cannot. Team Youtube say this feature has been removed. What is it with these websites going Twitter/Reddit and actively making their site not just worse but harmful?
If they’re commenting under your videos, you can tap the three dots next to one of their comments and select “hide user from channel”. That’s the closest you can get to blocking now. There’s probably some third-party browser extension or uBO filter that can hide users, too.
It’s ridiculously shitty that YouTube has removed its block feature.
That doesnt work when they’re attacking your character on other videos and channels. And you cant hide their comments from others on your own videos, I checked with teamyoutube and they confirmed it just hides it from yourself.
I figured the first part, but you mean to tell me that hiding people doesn’t even hide their comments from others on your own videos?!! What even is the point, then?!!!? How can the YouTube staff even sleep at night?!?!???!
Yep thats what they tlold me.
Have you tried this?
It says
As I said earlier - that does not stop them replying from other videos, or hide their comments from other users on your channel.
I just tried it myself. Both individual comment removals and account hides work fine. Did you actually try checking if it works?
I’ve heard other creators talk about moderating their comments, surely there’s a way to do that
