What is the YouTube bot comment checker?
The BeyondComments YouTube bot comment checker is a free tool that scans up to 1,000 public comments on a YouTube video for signs of bots and spam: copied comments, investment scam replies, Telegram and WhatsApp contact requests, profile bait, creator lookalike accounts, self-promotion, and outside links.

How it works
How to check YouTube comments for bots
YouTube doesn't show which comments come from bots. Paste a video here to find the patterns they leave behind.
- 01
Paste a video link
Paste a YouTube video or Shorts link and press Check comments. Any public video works, not only your own.
- 02
Read the bot share
See what share of the checked comments look like bots or spam, and which patterns showed up most.
- 03
Review the flagged comments
Each flagged comment shows why it was flagged. Filter to the likely bots, then open any comment on YouTube.
- 04
Clean up your comments
On your own video, remove or report what's spam in YouTube Studio, then tighten your comment settings.
What to look for
What bot comments on YouTube look like
Copied comments
A word-for-word copy of a popular comment, posted later from another account. Bots do this to collect likes, then edit in a link.
Fake testimonials
Replies under top comments praising "Mrs. Susan" or "an expert trader" who doubled their money. Other bot accounts reply to agree.
Fake giveaways
An account with the creator's name and photo says you won and asks you to message them on Telegram or WhatsApp.
Profile bait
Short, generic comments from accounts named "check my profile" or with suggestive photos that lead to adult or dating sites.
Why it happens
Why there are so many bot comments on YouTube
Scams pay
Fake giveaways and investment pitches only need a few replies from real viewers to make money, and big comment sections reach thousands of people.
Top comments get seen
Replies under the most-liked comments sit where everyone reads, so bots crowd into those threads.
Accounts are cheap
Spam networks create or buy accounts in bulk, so a removed account is quickly replaced.
Filters miss some
YouTube removes a lot of spam automatically, but new wording and lookalike names slip through until someone reports them.
On your own channel
How to stop bot comments on your videos
Hold risky comments
In YouTube Studio, go to Settings, then Community, then Defaults, and hold potentially inappropriate comments for review. Turn on increased strictness for tougher filtering.
Block words and links
Add words bots use, such as telegram, whatsapp, or your own name with odd spellings, to Blocked words, and hold comments that contain links.
Hide repeat offenders
Hide a spam account from your channel so its future comments stay hidden, and report scam comments so YouTube can act on the account.
Pin a warning
If scam replies keep appearing, pin a comment saying you'll never ask viewers to message you on Telegram or WhatsApp.
Good to know
What the bot checker can and can't see
Patterns, not proof
The checker looks for patterns common in bot and spam comments. A flagged comment can still come from a real person, so review before acting.
Only published comments
YouTube's API returns public comments. Comments YouTube already removed or held for review aren't included.
Up to 1,000 comments
Top comments are checked first, with up to 5 replies each, because that's where bots crowd in. Very large comment sections are sampled.
Not account history
It reads the comment and the account name only. It can't see an account's age, other activity, or whether it's verified.
FAQ
YouTube bot comment questions
Want to read the real comments without the noise? Use the YouTube comment finder, or get a summary from the YouTube comment analyzer.
How do I know if YouTube comments are bots?
Look for comments copied word for word from another account, replies praising an investment advisor, accounts using the creator's name that ask you to message them, and names that tell you to check their profile. Paste the video link into this checker to find those patterns automatically.
Why are there so many bot comments on YouTube?
Scams and spam reach a lot of people in busy comment sections, especially in replies under top comments. Accounts are cheap to create, and new wording can slip past YouTube's filters until it's reported.
Is this YouTube bot comment checker free?
Yes. You can check up to 1,000 comments on any public video with no sign-up and no YouTube login.
Can I check someone else's video?
Yes. The checker reads public comments on any video with comments turned on, so you can check your own uploads or any other creator's.
How do I get rid of bot comments on my YouTube channel?
Remove or report them in YouTube Studio, hide repeat accounts from your channel, and in Settings, then Community, hold potentially inappropriate comments for review and add common spam words to Blocked words.
Does a flagged comment mean the account is a bot?
No. A flag means the comment matches a pattern common in spam. Real people sometimes post links or promote their channel, so treat flags as a shortlist to review.
Why does my video show few bot comments?
YouTube removes or holds a lot of spam before it's public, and the checker only sees published comments. A low result means little spam made it through, not that none was posted.
Are fake YouTube comments the same as bot comments?
Mostly. Fake comments include bot spam, copied comments, and fake testimonials, some written by people paid to post them. The checker flags the patterns, whoever typed them.
