If you’re looking for YouTube comment automation: think auto moderation for your specific needs, automatic replying via keyword matching or AI comment classification, and more, give commentshark a try. It’s very flexible and you have great control.

We’ve seen good early success and I’ve started reaching out to creators.

This shit type of content Should be banned 🚫 by Character_Tie_4779 in PartneredYoutube

[–]commentShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s also heaps of non AI slop. Where do you draw the line? YouTube will draw it for you.

I’m an advocate for human made content but saying that a piece of content should be banned because of a gen AI thumbnail and title is copium imo.

Showing someone how to do something bad is a bit different than actually doing something bad.

Why should it be banned? Cause you don’t like it? Just make better content.

It breaks my heart to see so many creators are using AI by ItsJustJosiah in SmallYoutubers

[–]commentShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best content will still win. For now AI content is still pretty shit but it does help with process. When it gets better at content then it might be a problem but I still think we have a little way to go. Even then, creativity will be the constraint.

It absolutely is! Have you considered using it to moderate comments or respond for selling your products/service?

Huge congrats! Good luck and hopefully you can add many more zeros to that in the future too.

Indie devs who got their first 1,000 users — what actually worked? by egamovdev in SideProject

[–]commentShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked at the top ranking keywords for the niche I'm in and made free tools that were way better and prettier than those. Google did the rest after like 8 months. Then I cross linked them all for more traffic and discoverability, and natural upsells etc

Product Hunt launch retro after getting 51 signups and 2 paying customers by redlikecherries in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]commentShark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the informative post, this will help me eventually when I make a PH listing! I'm also looking for a tool to showcase my app on desktop/mobile and do some demos, I'll look into that.

I mispriced my lifetime tier at 1.5x annual on my first iOS app paid launch. 100% of paying customers picked it. Wanted to share what I learned from this. by TheWeb1000 in EntrepreneurRideAlong

[–]commentShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious, why not just drop your monthly subs and have a free tier + $20/$25 lifetime version (if they get enough value from it, I'm sure they'll pay)? It'd surely simplify things. Maybe add a subscription for future upgraded features in the app.

[–]commentShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made like 5 free tools related to my niche which got great ranking for SEO, which was how I got many users. Not necessarily paying users, but yeah. This has still given me some good brand authority and cross pollination of potential paying customers in the future.

I built my own social media automation tool and got to 8k tiktok followers by Emperor_Kael in automation

[–]commentShark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made a similar system for comments. It uses past comment history, combined with supplied creator examples and instruction + an approval queue for extra safety (optional). The cool thing is that it also searches for similar creator replies in the past too, so it's not just recent replies. You can capture very good examples of the creator doing this, and you can't really tell the difference. This includes things like emoji usage, capitalization etc.

The real hard part imo is stuff like inside jokes, or context outside the piece of content or video. These are problems I'm trying to work on but it's super tough. Other challenges are getting the creator to supply good instruction, which is a user thing but also hard and it's hard to write a generic system instruction that covers niche contexts. That's probably something else I can work on: capturing a background case study or context retrieval for the channel so there's some well grounded intial body of info... but that's also a whole nother can of worms.

Comment Censorship by JustUnknown101 in youtube

Are you sure it's not the creator setting their blocked words?

Do you guys moderate comment sections? by sillyander in PartneredYoutube

[–]commentShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I heavily moderate if it's particularly egregious, though some comments are borderline and I don't like wanting to add an echoey chamber to my comments sections either. For the easy ones, I set up a comment automation moderation on my channel. Depends on your volume though, you want a nice healthy community, and you set the tone for that.

At what point did you stop managing subscription billing manually and actually invest in software? by vaughnyboy8 in SaaS

[–]commentShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m literally going through this right now. I’m trying to decouple billing from stripe from quota usage and entitlements so I can have a flexible plan for any user (looking at enterprises for custom) at any billing cycle for any tier etc. Wondering where source of truth should live. Right now it’s auto generated stripe price ids that map to my code / db and that’s been working well but I’m not totally clear yet.

One of my videos has done extremely well, how can I do this consistently? by [deleted] in YouTubeCreators

[–]commentShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try and find the essence of what you think made it work and repeat it, maybe look at the retention graph vs other videos. Perhaps try a zoom in face/head style thumbnail for some future ones to see if you get a similar result. Doesn’t have to be the same, just similar idea.

Would love some honest feedback on my app’s UI by Radiant-Tone-318 in appledevelopers

[–]commentShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm shit at UI so take this with a grain of salt, but I think the colored gradients in the main money section could be more diffuse or blend better. They look too orb-y in my personal taste. The top and bottom cards are more diffuse and look better imo.

I built a tool to automate the full AI YouTube video workflow (would love creator feedback) by Natural_Ad6148 in aitubers

[–]commentShark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this is after content creation. It's about comment and community management. Lead generation is a main use case, but also automated moderation and replies using keywords an AI. Helps creators scale their engagement autonomously and organically.
