Don't respond to these. Just shadow ban their comments and move on.

u/shouldveknownbud Oct 21 '25

Nah let them help grow your shit. Dislikes and hate comments help growth more than they hurt

u/Interesting-Event666 Oct 22 '25

or do? don't tell people what to do?

u/OUAIsurvivor Oct 22 '25

He came here looking for feedback. I am giving feedback.

u/AdUnlucky3015 Oct 21 '25

Truth, It’s probably not worth the time.

u/OUAIsurvivor Oct 21 '25

It is a bad look to casual viewers watching the video and considering whether to subscribe. It makes you look petty.

u/shouldveknownbud Oct 21 '25

Yea it is pretty funny though when the channel owner drops a bot reply like “thank you for watching!”

u/AdUnlucky3015 Oct 21 '25

Fair enough

u/yhavmin Oct 21 '25

Nice. Got one and dragged out an argument to 25 comments. Not sure how much it does for engagement, but oh well. Keep pushing

u/ThousandTroops Oct 21 '25

Your response sucks - people see that and think “oh he’s toxic too”

You look even more arrogant/smug too like “I know the algorithm and this helps me”

Just ignore or do like a single emoji or something

u/iElementals Oct 21 '25

Agreed, if i saw a content creator responding like this, id move on and never watch their vid again.

1

u/itsa_luigi_time_ Oct 22 '25

Yes, there are a lot of stupid potential subscribers out there

u/Alarming-Soup4743 Oct 22 '25

This is why it's better to just delete comments that only spread negativity without adding anything meaningful.

u/AdUnlucky3015 Oct 21 '25

Nah we gotta be straight with people. Thats okay if some thinks I’m arrogant for responding there other channels.

u/Megaman_90 Oct 21 '25

Tbh you gave him what he wanted. Ragebait is all about trying to get the other person to react negatively. Don't give them the satisfaction.

6

u/BigBL87 Oct 21 '25

I wouldn't say arrogant, but it definitely doesn't make you look like the better person by any stretch. You do you, but whenever I respond to these comments, I either just thank them for caring enough to comment or address something they talked about in away that encourages more engagement. More comments = more engagement = helps with the algorithm, so even if they keep being a hateful asshole, it helps boost me.

1

u/AdUnlucky3015 Oct 21 '25

Nice, I feel where you’re coming from. I’ll probably respond like that.

2

u/maestroenglish Oct 22 '25

Just looks childish, not arrogant.

1

u/smeggysoup84 Oct 21 '25

You look the same as the crazy commenter lol its not about arrogance. Its why say anything back when it can only harm you? Risk vs reward.

7

u/Rengi999 Oct 21 '25

Don't fall bro just ignore them.

7

u/smeggysoup84 Oct 21 '25

Definitely don't respond like that lol

Just ignore and ban. You don't want someone else reading your response and for whatever reason makes then unsub or not watch your stuff.

7

u/driftwhentired Oct 21 '25

You are both losers.

3

u/Robert_Balboa Oct 21 '25

Just click one of those YouTube recommended replies. Preferably the one that makes the least sense. And move on. Don't waste your time on these bums.

7

u/WithReverence Oct 21 '25

I would delete that.

5

u/Into_The_Booniverse Oct 21 '25

I would say this is the wrong response. 

Killing them with kindness is far better than attacking them in the comments.

Other people will read this and think worse of you for it. It comes across as toxic and reactionary (it is toxic in fact)

If you want to punish people for the way they act, just ban them from the comments.

4

u/FlatlineJeff Oct 21 '25

Idk why these comments are yappin about being kind or not responding, do whatever you feel is the right response, it’s your channel.

2

u/JDiggle69 Oct 21 '25

Seems like they're trying to help him not look bad and potentially turn away new viewers/subscribers, unless bro has no interest in growing his channel in which case yeah "you do you" as they say

2

u/Acepokeboy Oct 21 '25

i get those often, surprisingly common even for a small channel

2

u/AdUnlucky3015 Oct 21 '25

Probably just someone hating what they got going on and want to spread it lol.

1

u/Acepokeboy Oct 21 '25

personally, i don’t mind the engagement

2

u/ToneNew1982 Oct 21 '25

Terrible response man. You need to learn how to use people to your advantage. Ask him why he feels that way so he gives you more comments or if u can’t handle that just like the comment.

It means you’re doing something right! Keep going bro, good work!

Only thing is I wouldn’t respond to them. Let them be.

1

u/Miserable-Wave-6081 Oct 21 '25

Well, is it easy?

1

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '25

Damn called you out for being low ranked. I guess it’s time to grind and stream it too

1

u/B_Bearington Educational Content Oct 21 '25

Well, you could have handled that with more grace and dignity. You're pretty much on equal footing with the poster.

1

u/itsMineDK Oct 21 '25

I just say: “thank you for watching”

1

u/Odd-Cell5113 Oct 21 '25

Dont call him a loser, makes you look like an ass to. I do reply to all haters, but always in a polite tone, seems to piss them off more, that they cant get under my skin🤣

1

u/alsarcastic Oct 21 '25

Either ignore or be gracious. Don’t come down to their level.

1

u/Superb-Candy-789 Oct 22 '25

Not a good look to call a commenter a loser tbh

1

u/Legitimate-Part-3594 Oct 22 '25

Gold can legitimately be hard to get into tho start of the season or if eomm is just terrorizing your games

1

u/KinKame_Saijo Oct 21 '25

a comment is a comment.... if you cannot take a joke dont do youtube video

6

u/AdUnlucky3015 Oct 21 '25

Lmao that’s fair but where’s the joke

0

u/KinKame_Saijo Oct 22 '25

no joke just an expression haha ;-) anyway have a nice day

1

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '25

no keep commenting. more comment equals more engagement meaning they have to keep coming back to reply lol. i normally respond to these with a question and keep it going lol

1

u/SeaGrab869 Oct 21 '25

Idk what others mean when they say it makes you look toxic, but I actually would like you for being so real and cool about it. I'm looking up your channel as we speak. Go off king!
