YouTube Avoiding YouTube Beef

[3hab Music]

So have you ever been told a "Follow back or else I'm following" type comment? Well, I did.
I replied " No thanks, work on your approach, and try again."
Even though i'm setting myself up, I didn't even really insult him.
Then he deletes his comment, and almost immediately two different accounts message
me saying:
"You're trash, give it up"
"Guess you have to start over now"

I look all my videos had 5 thumbs down!!!!( before I had none!)

I made light of the situation and pinned his comment, a few subscribers clowned him, I got him good about morality when his YouTube video was about homelessness, He deleted his video!! LOL!!!
Then I flagged and deleted the messages.

Moral of the story is had I known, I would have just blocked his channel from the beginning and never responded!
This could have been very avoidable, so

AVOID YOUTUBE BEEF< GO VEGAN!!!

I think we have all been the victim of YouTube trolls, and insensitive people who want to get big quick, without working for it. The moment you show them any bit of negative attention - for example by saying no to them, then they think they can hide behind the anonymity of the internet. At the end of the day even thumbs down count as interactions on your channel and will be influencing the SEO so really his idle threats and comments did nothing. The one's I hate the worst is when people use the 'great video, come check me out' lines, or try and be like 'oh i have music on my channel you might like' - and then leave links. Luckily I've got it set up that anything with a link is auto flagged and needs to be approved before going live on my channel.

Unfortunately there isn't much you can do. I had a similar experience earlier this yea, had like 200 different videos been disliked and spammed with horrible comments. I reported the comments this person left and block them from posting. Although it's so easy to make another account and just continue if you get someone who is very persistent.

Sometimes YouTube beef can help you. Look at Ricegum and Jake Paul, they got into multiple YouTube beef and it helped them sky rocketed up. You're beef wouldn't be on that level big but you could still use it as an advantage to grow more.

I just perma ban trolls like that

 

[BlueBard]

Lol! People are so... sad. XD

I had much the same experience when I started. A guy wanted to do a sub for sub, trying to be nice, I told him I would check out his channel, and if I like it I would sub.

He got a little aggressive after that, telling me my channel sucked and it was awful (the usual ). I told him (like you) his approach was bad, and if he'd had been nicer I would have instead shared his channel, or help in some other way.

He kept being an idiot, and so I just ignored him and he went away.

But yeah, you're not always sure who they are or when they will strike. XD

I feel you, been down the road as well where one simple comment can change a lot of things. I took the friendly approach and basically told i had no interest in such thing and then it began. A dislike bomb and hate comment spree like never seen before and all that was done with a simple block the users move. Since then never had it again

You just gotta ignore people like that, at the end of the day it's gonna be better for you to just pretend they don't even exist.

 

[DigitalDollyEh]

not to that extent but i did have one person constantly asking me to subscribe to them. the first time they posted i said i would check out their channel. which i did but just something iam not interested in watching.
after a week i noticed a new comment from the same person telling me that i did not subscribe to them and they will no longer promote my videos .

 

[RyanSellers]

When I get a hate comment I just ask them what is wrong and how I can help them. I also sometimes say, "Thanks for watching!" Or just ignore them.

is my spam filter bad for blocking 90% of that (when its all the comments i ever get)

That said I recently put up a video for a company my dad owns and got a fancy 10 of those comments before just setting the whole channel to "hold everything for review". For stuff like that in my opinion censorship is not a bad thing

Regardless of negativity, that's still interaction with your channel and still help it grow rather than ignoring it all together. So, they are feeding your channel regardless.
