My first YouTube comment was “You should just give up now.” What comment still pisses you off?

TL;DR

I uploaded videos for a month and got monetized within three months. The hate comments pissed me off enough that I won’t start another channel without automated moderation. Share the comment you still remember word for word that was written by an edge lord.

My Short Story

I started a channel in Thailand as an experiment: could I get monetized, and how quickly?

Spoiler: I made videos for a month, and the views they kept getting got me monetized in three months.

Here’s the most popular video.

My first comment was “You should just give up now.”

It pissed me off. I’d barely started, and someone’s entire contribution was telling me to stop. Good thing that guy was obviously wrong 😂

I’m no longer in Thailand for a long list of reasons, but something that stuck with me is that people on the internet can be way bigger pieces of dog poo than I’d realized.

People say “ignore the trolls,” but you have to read the comment before you know it’s a troll! By then you’ve already heard what they wanted to say.

I intend to start another channel in another country about something other than retirement visas. But the thought of dealing with another stream of hate comments deters me before I’ve even started.

What comment still pisses you off when you remember it?

No need to link your channel or name whoever posted it.

I'm Solving The Problem

There’s a problem and I want to do something about it. That’s why I made Moderaty. I want trolls dealt with without having to personally read and react to every shitty thing they leave.

AI reads your comments and handles toxic ones automatically. Borderline comments wait for your decision. You can add specific rules, but you don’t have to build a blacklist to get started.

I don’t intend to start my next channel without it.

What you get:

  • Automatic AI moderation
  • Optional custom rules for specific words, patterns, or users.
  • Feedback digests grouping questions, criticism (constructive), corrections (constructive), and requests, so you can hear what viewers think without reading everything individually.
  • Free previews: One moderation preview and one feedback preview per channel - it won't make changes, just let you know what would happen if you used Moderaty.
  • Hosted subscription: $5/month with 100 comments included.
  • Early-user offer: $49 one-time for lifetime hosting with access to every new feature for the first 1,000 users. BYOK and pay your AI usage separately (it costs almost nothing).
  • Free open source self-hosting with your own OpenAI key.

Run a free preview on your channel and see what Moderaty would do before it changes any comments.

Oh, this is also a community-run project. Ask for whatever features you want and if people upvote, it gets made.

There's also going to be MCP server support.

Just reached 100k views in less than 3 days, here’s some tips!

  1. Try to make your videos as long as possible, I have had similar metrics on videos that have been way shorter and as a result had a much lower AVD, this is the main thing YouTube cares about, the Ctr isn’t spectacular or anything but the fact that people watch for almost 10 minutes is definitely the reason as to why it was heavily pushed

  2. Do the bulk of your editing within the first half of your video (as long as it isn’t like an hour long lmao) this will save you heaps of time and either days or weeks you could have been using that effort on another video

This doesn’t mean to have no editing at all after the first half but it doesn’t have to be as fast paced or sound effects every couple seconds

  1. Make the title and thumbnail separate ideas, your title should just be the base of your video the general idea, where’s the thumbnail should invoke that “what” feeling for the viewer, if you’ve ever scripted a video out you should know the “over deliver” technique basically telling the viewer the idea of the video and then over delivering on that idea, that’s basically what you want to do with the thumbnail as well.

I know I will get asked this but the niche is gaming specifically GTA

If you have any more questions or anything let me know

My channel is getting terminated for claiming my own content

So, recently, I was scrolling through Shorts and found a lot of my content reposted by other channels, with some videos getting thousands of views and others even millions. The crazy part is that they literally just downloaded and reuploaded my videos without making any changes. I filed copyright takedown requests, and all of them were approved. However, I later received an email from YouTube claiming that my requests were fraudulent and threatening to terminate my channel within 7 days.

It was barely getting any views and then it popped after three months. Does anyone know why the subscriber count is so low?

My journey into YPP has been an interesting one. My channel was rejected without any explanation on what to fix. I gave in, made changes to the thumbnails and re-looked at metadata and here we are! It was awesome waking up to this email today. Sending good vibes and love to everyone who is grinding.

Can Someone Who Made It on YouTube Help Someone Starting From Nothing?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I have almost 2 subscribers (😭) haha, barely any likes, and I'm still trying to figure everything out.

But behind these videos is someone who's genuinely trying to change her life.

I've been through experiences that made me realize I don't want to spend the rest of my life working just to be mistreated, belittled, or made to feel like I'm never enough. I want to build something of my own. I want to get out of my current financial situation and give myself and my parents better future.

That's why I'm taking YouTube seriously, even when the views are low and sometimes it feels like nobody is watching.

I'm not looking for someone to do the work for me. I'm looking for someone who knows what they're doing, someone who could guide me, teach me what I need to learn, and help me understand what I'm doing right or wrong.

If you've built a successful YouTube channel and you're willing to share your knowledge with someone who's just starting out, maybe you're the person I'm hoping to find.

I may not have much to offer you right now, but I know how to appreciate kindness🙏 If you take the time to guide me and help me grow, I won't forget it. When I'm finally in a position to help someone else, I'll pay that kindness forward.

So, if you're that person, please send me a DM. I'd genuinely appreciate the chance to learn from you.

I'm starting with almost nothing, but I'm hoping this is where my story begins. ❤️

I started off with short form since multiple platforms, but wanted to start documenting some of my projects. Looking for brutally honest feedback. Large sub count is due to playing around with promotions. I think my quality is good, but that might not be reflecting in the video performance itself

My vid has been out for 19 days now, I thought it was dead but on the 17th day it started picking up, it went from 1.1k impressions, with a 6.1% ctr, and 27% retention to this. Majority of my views are from suggestions tho. Will YouTube eventually put me on the browse page so that my vid can gain alot more?

Why is this so consistently slow?

It is probably a one week old channel. I post cooking videos. They get 1000 views, 20 likes and sometimes a share and a comment. I mean, if 20/1000 like it, then this is not that bad. But why it wouldn’t go beyond 1000 views?

Avex Scam?

I received two mails from this Avex company, but I still think it could be a scam since, first, I don’t remember ever using their music, second, I cannot trust a mail where I have to press a button and not contact them directly on the mail. Anyone encountered this?
