The campaign view
Four believable comments. One manufactured conversation.
Modern spam does not always look like spam one comment at a time. Accounts play different roles, change a few words, and guide viewers toward the same person, ticker, giveaway, or contact method.
Simple Spam groups that behavior before you make a decision.
- 01@sample-successtestimonial
“A mentor helped me turn things around after years of losses.”
- 02@sample-questionsetup reply
“Please, who is your adviser? I could really use the help.”
- 03@sample-referralcontact handoff
“@sample-adviser — that is the demo user name.”
- 04@sample-contactoff-platform
“They are mostly on Tele gram. That is how I reached them.”

Creator-agnostic signals
The pitch changes. The playbook repeats.
Detection is built around scam behavior, not a finance-only dictionary. Channel language can be tuned without turning every niche term into a violation.

Fake mentors, return claims, and staged advisor threads

Giveaway bait, account recovery, and creator impersonation
↗Beauty + fitness
Fake sponsorships, product pitches, and off-platform contact

Detect. Explain. Act.
A short path from noisy inbox to a decision you can understand and reverse when needed.
- 01
Detect
Read the pattern around the comment.
Language, repetition, fuzzy similarity, timing, account behavior, reply roles, links, and campaign history contribute evidence—without treating one keyword as proof.

Explain
See why it was surfaced.
Plain-language reasons sit beside every score. Campaigns expose the repeated script, participating accounts, arrival window, and related comments in one place.

Act
Choose the smallest safe action.
Keep a genuine comment, hold an uncertain one, remove obvious spam, or label a miss so your future review queue gets better.
Keep publicHold for reviewRemoveActions are logged and tied to the creator who made them.
Safety before speed
Start with assistance. Add protection when you are ready.
The safest default is no automatic channel changes. Protect only turns on after you choose an action and confidence threshold.
Assist
Decision support
Comments are scored, explained, and grouped into campaigns. Nothing is automatically held or removed.
- Safe first-run experience
- Manual bulk moderation
- Creator feedback improves tuning
Protect
Bounded automation
Only newly seen comments above your score can be held for review or removed. Holding hides a comment from viewers and lets you release it later.
- Hold recommended; remove optional
- Fresh-sync and per-run limits
- Circuit breakers stop abnormal bulk actions
Protect is not a blank check. It still respects creator settings, accepted detector versions, daily limits, and safeguards designed to prevent an unexpected sync from changing an entire channel.
OAuth + data trust
Your channel access should never be a mystery.
Simple Spam uses Google OAuth and the YouTube Data API. The extension is the workspace; channel reads and authorized moderation happen through the hosted service, not by scraping what you see on a YouTube page.

Start with YouTube’s native controls, contain active incidents, and use campaign-level evidence when rotating accounts make one-at-a-time deletion ineffective.

The safest action depends on confidence: hold uncertainty, remove clear spam, report policy violations manually, and reserve author hiding for channel-wide abuse.
Read guideQuestions, answered
Know what happens before you connect.
The beta is deliberately transparent about control, access, and current limitations.
Does Simple Spam delete comments automatically?
Not by default. Every creator starts in Assist, where Simple Spam scores and organizes comments without changing YouTube. Protect is an explicit opt-in: you choose the confidence threshold and whether matching new comments are held for review or removed.
What happens when a comment is held for review?
YouTube hides it from viewers while it waits in your moderation queue. You can publish it again if it is legitimate. That makes holding the recommended Protect action for creators who want automation with a recovery path.
How is this different from a blocked-word list?
Blocked words look at one phrase in isolation. Simple Spam combines the comment with repeated posting, fuzzy wording, timing, distinct-account coordination, reply roles, links, and related activity to find campaigns that change their wording.
Will it work outside finance channels?
Yes. The detector covers patterns such as impersonation, giveaways, fake support, recovery scams, token promotion, off-platform contact, and repeated scripts. Creator feedback and channel-specific rules help tune edge cases without assuming every niche speaks the same way.
What access does the beta require?
You connect the Google account that owns the YouTube channel. Simple Spam uses the YouTube Data API to read comments and carry out only the moderation actions your mode allows. You can disconnect, revoke access, and request deletion of stored creator data.
Is this ready for every creator?
Not yet. Simple Spam is a limited, hands-on creator beta. Detection is already useful, but classification can be wrong and YouTube quotas can constrain very large channels. Beta creators should begin in Assist and review results before enabling Protect.
