I've been doing YouTube for about 2 months and i've got 7 people advertising their channel in my comments, what I mean by this is they say great video or something like that and since you're a small YouTuber you're pretty vulnerable to that then right after they say could you check out my videos or something, I really don't like these people and I delete every single advertising comment I see, what do you guys do about them?

Youtube usually reads them as spam for me and needs approval before being in the video comments so I just leave them there, but one person does it to every single one of my videos I will just mute them.

I really hate those type of people in my comments section. It's clear that they're not even interested in your video when they comment "Great vid, I subbed" on one part and the other 99% are full of their self advertisements and they didn't even subscribe to your channel! Even channels that are bigger than mine, as big as 22k, are doing this to my own channel!

I remove these types of comment because I don't appreciate them coming to my videos just to advertise their channel and say "great vid".

I know exactly what you mean. People do that on my videos every few days because of freedom in general. They expect you to notice them, and they try to get your attention. Sometimes it can be genuine though. I don't delete them anymore, since I have my comments reviewed before they can be seen for the public.
