FAQ

Are viewers told when I heart, like, dislike, pin, or reply to their comment?

If you heart, pin, or reply to a comment, the commenter may get a notification that you responded, depending on their notification settings.

Likes and dislikes are anonymous. If you like a comment, the commenter may get a notification that says, “Someone liked your comment." Viewers don’t get a notification when you dislike their comment.

How do I unpin a comment?

If you pinned a comment to the top of the watch page, but don’t want it there anymore, you can unpin it. Next to the comment, select More

Unpin.

You can also pin a different comment, which will unpin the previous one.

How are comment topics summarized, and can I moderate them?

Comment topics use Google-owned AI models to organize and summarize comments, without human review, on YouTube videos with large comment sections. Topics are only created when there are enough comments to represent a theme.

There isn’t an option to opt out of comment topics. If you remove the comments that show up under a specific topic, the topic will be removed.

Topics won’t be created from comments that are held, contain blocked words, or are from hidden users.
