Hello all,
So, you may have all noticed the new comments section features and tools on a few popular Youtube channels, within the coming weeks Youtube plan to roll out there new tools for the comment sections! This gives all of us as creators and people or brands to build up a community within your OWN comment section! So here are the new features,
  • Pinned comments: promote a specific comment by pinning it to the top of your feed. This lets you highlight great engagement from your fans or share information with your audience.
  • Creator hearts: show some love by giving a heart to your favorite comments. This is a new and easy way to acknowledge comments from your community.
  • Creator usernames: when you comment on your channel, your username will appear under the text with a pop of color around it so your viewers can easily tell that the comment is coming from you. If you are a verified creator, you will still have a verification check mark appear beside your name.
So along with the new updated features Youtube have started to update some of the older features, these will be in beta for a few months and they will start rolling out to a few selected channels very soon. The features which will be updated are;
  • Choose moderators: Earlier this year, we launched a new comment feature that lets you delegate moderation, giving people you trust the ability to remove public comments from your videos.
  • Blacklist words and phrases: You may have comments with certain words or phrases held for your review and approval before being published.
  • Hold potentially inappropriate comments for review: We’re introducing a new beta feature that allows you to hold potentially inappropriate comments for review. If you choose to opt-in, comments identified by our algorithm will be held and you have the final decision whether to approve, hide, or report these comments. We recognize that the algorithms will not always be accurate: the beta feature may hold some comments you deem fine for approval, or may not catch comments you’d like to hold and remove. When you review comments, the system will take that feedback into account and get better at identifying the types of comments to hold for review. If you’d like to try this out, submit your channel information here.

Another great guide Jord!

I quite like the pinned comments things, especially if you get a larger youtuber come by and they give you a nice comment. Or if there is a really interesting comment or something that has been asked a whole lot.

Still not sure about the creator hearts and how this is different from liking a comment, will have to test that one out a bit.

They're there for the creators to show off their comment interactions.

Thanks Jord for featuring these updates on the forums! I did see them a while back, it's just nice to see someone posting it here from the YT blog, which is where I saw it.
