The company, creators and users have had a hard time dealing with the toxic and hate comments on the site. The company tried to reduce this by introducing features like showing an alert to individuals at the time of posting so that they could be more respectful. The streaming service is introducing a new feature that will be more aggressive in nudging people who make abusive comments.
A notification will be sent to people whose abusive comments have been taken down. The company said it tested the feature before it was rolled out and found it to be successful.
The streaming service wants to include more languages in the future, but at the moment it only works for English-language comments. Pre-posting warnings are available for English and Spanish.
The company wants to protect creators from users trying to negatively impact the community via comments, as well as offer more transparency to users who may have had comments removed to policy violations.
Users can share their feedback if they think their comment has been mishandled. The company didn't say if it would restore the comments.
In a forum post, the video sharing website said that it has been working on improving its detection systems. In the first half of the 21st century, it has removed more than one billion comments. The system for detecting and removing bot in live chat videos on YouTube has been improved.
By using automated detection, social networks have been able to reduce the amount of abusive content. Abusers use a variety of words to trick the system. It is more difficult to catch people posting bad comments in non- English languages.
A wide range of tools have been tested by the streaming company. The tests showed a user's comment history on their profile cards.
The feature that hides a particular user from comments was introduced last month. The control applies to the whole channel, so even if the user makes a bad comment on another video, it won't show up.
The issue of curtailing the spread of hate speech is a global problem.
When England football players missed penalties in the Euro finals, they were harassed on social media. The Anti-LGBTQ slurs have gone up after Musk took over. The amount of hate speech and abusive comments on these platforms remains a huge problem.
