Question 1

Where do I paste this list in YouTube?

Accepted Answer

YouTube Studio → Settings → Community → Automated filters → Blocked words. YouTube auto-hides any comment containing these words across every video on your channel.

Question 2

Does YouTube's built-in filter catch enough?

Accepted Answer

YouTube's default profanity filter only catches obvious slurs. It misses crypto scams, sub-for-sub bots, brigading patterns, and predatory growth-service spam — which is the majority of what creators in monetizable niches deal with.

Question 3

Will this hide legitimate comments?

Accepted Answer

It can if you over-add. Review the list and remove anything your real audience genuinely uses. The "brigading" section is particularly contextual — leave it off if your audience is friendly.

Question 4

How many words can YouTube's filter accept?

Accepted Answer

There's no published hard limit but the practical ceiling is in the thousands of characters. The lists this tool generates fit comfortably within that.

Question 5

Does the filter work on Shorts and live chat?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Blocked Words list applies to comments on regular videos, Shorts, and live chat across your entire channel.

Question 6

What about comments YouTube's filter still misses?

Accepted Answer

YouTube's filter is keyword-only and doesn't understand context. FeedGuardians adds AI moderation on top — catching coordinated brigading, sarcastic threats, and scams written without exact keyword matches.
