YouTube has updated its fight against spam, bots, and abusive language. It has introduced new and updated tools to tackle the issues better. YouTube says these are the main concerns of today’s content creators, and it made them a priority.
The main changes is the improved spam detection in the comment section. The developer team has worked hard on improving the automatic spam detection and was able to get rid of 1.1 billion spam comments in the first half of this year. But spammers adapt and that’s why YouTube is using machine-learning models that adapt and tackle them more efficiently. The same goes for automatic detection in the live chat section during live streams.
Moving on to the next important features youtube has launched a removal warning and timeouts. This feature will warn users once the platform has detected and removed their comments for violating the community guidelines. if the same user continues to leave abusive comments, they will receive a 24-hour ban.
In addition, the improved system can now give a rough estimate on when a newly uploaded video will finish processing and be available in full resolution, be it 1080p, 2160p or 4320p.
