Spam

Spam on videos and users' pages is a recurring issue in YouTube community. Spam can be marked on YouTube by checking the 'Held for review' section, users can also check 'Held for review' to see what has been marked. If something that has been marked is not spam, "Approved" can be clicked and the message will be brought back to its normal state. Sometimes marking a comment as spam on YouTube will not work due to lack of reports.
== Victims ==
Music videos are widely regarded as the biggest victims of spam comments. The comments' context usually talks about the time span of the song, and has little to do with the song in general. Commenters often try to farm likes from users by posting these comments. These types of comments are found on music videos published by VEVO, those with over 100 million views and those that went viral. Music videos by independent artists are free of these comments. 
Big YouTubers are also victims of spam. One example is that upon commenting on a video they've just published, you will receive a reply from a bot with the YouTuber's profile picture, claiming that you "won" something.
