Below are some examples that may help you decide what works best for you in different situations: </p> <ul> <li> <strong>Ignore.</strong> Trolls are people who post inflammatory comments to provoke an emotional response. Creators tell us it's best to ignore them — they're not likely to change their behavior, no matter what you do. But by not giving them the response they're looking for, they will usually lose interest and leave. </li> <li> <strong>Block and remove.</strong> For very offensive comments, or those that reveal personal information, many creators find it best to hide those commenters and remove the comments. Some creators go so far as to add similar language to their blocked words list to help automate the process. Review the section on hiding comments <a href="/creators/safety#managing-unwanted-behavior" rel="noopener noreferrer" >below</a >. </li> <li> <strong>Use humor and kindness.</strong> Some creators find humor or kindness is empowering for them and their community. For example, some creators have reported responding to comments shaming their bodies with, "I feel great! And I hope you care half as much about your health as I do mine!" with their audience members finding that supportive. </li> <li> <strong>Engage for education.</strong> Rarely (but it happens!) creators have turned someone around on an issue, including educating them on nuances between different cultures. Creators aren't doing this for the hater, but to empower their community. For example, when some creators in the deaf and hard of hearing communities received negative comments, they responded with, "let me tell you why deaf people feel this way" and opened up a dialogue. </li> </ul> <p> These strategies aren't one size fits all and depend on your channel and audience. But we hope they can be a starting point as you figure out how to engage with a broader viewership. </p> </div> </div> <button class="ytc-expansion-panel__cta" lb-auto-init="LBExpansionPanelTrigger" panel-item="Determine your strategy" lb-options="{'family': 'expansion-panel-Determine%20your%20strategy-t-lockup', 'index': 0}" > <span class="ytc-expansion-panel__cta--expand" >Continue reading</span > <span class="ytc-expansion-panel__cta--collapse">Collapse</span> <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="lb-icon lb-icon--24" aria-hidden="true" > <use href="#chevron-down"></use> </svg> </button> </div> <h3 class="lb-font-subhead lb-margin-bottom-xs ytc-expansion-panel__heading" > Moderate comments and chats </h3> <div lb-auto-init="LBExpansionPanel" class="lb-expansion-panel lb-expansion-panel--light" lb-options="{'family': 'expansion-panel-Moderate%20comments%20and%20chats-t-lockup', 'computeBeforeOpen': true, 'minHeight': 104}" > <div class="lb-expansion-panel__surface" id="id-expansion-panel-Moderate%20comments%20and%20chats-t-lockup-panel-1" role="region" aria-labelledby="id-expansion-panel-Moderate%20comments%20and%20chats-t-lockup-panel-header-1" > <div class="lb-expansion-panel__surface-content"> <p> Comments and Live chat are great ways to engage with your fans, but people can be mean or spammy. </p> <p> You can remove or turn off comments and chats, and <strong >it won’t impact your video performance or rankings</strong >. </p> <p> Set expectations for how your communities should interact on your channels.

Here are some tips to help you figure out what level of interaction you’re comfortable with: </p> <ul> <li> Determine your comfort level with parasocial relationships. Your viewers may act as if they know you, despite having no or limited interactions with you. It can help to be clear with your audience about what type of interactions feel comfortable to you. </li> <li> Some creators ask their viewers to not contact them in private messages. Others remind viewers that while their job is to entertain, they aren’t required to share intimate details about their lives. </li> <li> Your audience may look for details about you on the internet. Some creators have recommended using an internet scrubbing service to help monitor and remove your publicly available personal information. </li> <li> Your audience may come to your defense when there’s online conflict. Always encourage respectful interactions on YouTube, and ask your audience to review our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/howyoutubeworks/policies/community-guidelines/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" >Community Guidelines</a > before posting. </li> </ul> <p> Communicate boundaries by grounding them in your experiences with “I” statements, and be consistent. </p> <ul> <li> For example, if a creator does not want to show their face in their videos, they may say, "I know you are excited about me and my content. But I want to maintain my privacy and not show my face. I hope you can continue to enjoy my content as I choose to share it." </li> </ul> <p> If your boundaries aren’t being respected, we have tools to help: </p> <ul> <li> Learn how to <a href="https://support.google.com/youtube?p=sc_hide" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" >block a commenter</a >. </li> <li> Learn how to <a href="https://support.google.com/youtube?p=sc_report" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" >report a video or a channel</a >. </li> <li> You can <a href="https://support.google.com/youtube?p=sc_privacy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" >report privacy concerns</a >. </li> </ul> </div> </div> <button class="ytc-expansion-panel__cta" lb-auto-init="LBExpansionPanelTrigger" panel-item="Set clear boundaries" lb-options="{'family': 'expansion-panel-Set%20clear%20boundaries-t-lockup', 'index': 0}" > <span class="ytc-expansion-panel__cta--expand" >Continue reading</span > <span class="ytc-expansion-panel__cta--collapse">Collapse</span> <svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" class="lb-icon lb-icon--24" aria-hidden="true" > <use href="#chevron-down"></use> </svg> </button> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section id="managing-unwanted-behavior" class="lb-padding-top-xxl ytc-content ytc-module ytc-content--stacked-center ytc-module--small content-stacked-6748481305837568" > <h2 class="lb-font-display-3 lb-margin-bottom-m--bp-auto ytc-content__heading" > <div class="ytc-md"> <p class="lb-font-headline-2 ytc-content__heading"> Managing unwanted behavior from others </p> </div> </h2> <div class="lb-margin-bottom-m ytc-font-body ytc-module--x-small"> <div class="ytc-md"> <p> It’s against our <a href="https://support.google.com/youtube?p=sc_policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" >policies</a > to threaten anyone on YouTube with violence or to harass someone with prolonged or malicious insults based on their <a href="https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2801939" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" >protected attributes</a >.
