I wish they added a feature where you could block them, I don’t want them seeing me or going near me.

This sucks. They need to make it so that you can ban the users from watching your videos, commenting, and rating them. 100% ban.

This is just stopping people commenting. I wish it WAS stopping people watching or interacting in anyway (thumbs up/down and commenting included). That would REALLY be banning people from your youtube channel. I read your title and was super excited and then i was quite disappointed :(

How do i BAN someone from even watching The channel that didnt write Something yet?????

Some guy was spamming the bad racist word so this really helped! Thank you

This feature just blocks them from commenting on the videos in your channel. I don’t think it blocks trolls from making brainless comments in other videos you comment on. I wish YouTube would add that kind of feature. I don’t want to be arguing with obvious airheads. I want to be able to comment without some airhead feeling they’ve been slighted and have to make off-color comments.

Thank you!!! I'm currently being cyber-bullied so this is great that I can finally ban them.

There are also spambots and spammers who comment on every single YouTube channel and they say stuff like: "Nice video. Keep it up! Would you like to be YouTube friends?" Things like that. It's so annoying. YouTube doesn't do something, actually some creators are falling for these type of scams.

Youtube should make some changes in blocking and rating videos with likes or dislikes. I propose that Youtube should unable blocked users to like or dislike your video besides being unable to comment. Also, I propose that Youtube even goes as far as making those users unable to watch your videos. There are too many pathetic people on this platform that use dislike bots to vandalize your channel and many other issues. I don't like the fact that after blocking a user, this one is still able to like/dislike and watch your videos. Maybe making them unable to watch your videos after blocking them is an exaggeration, but I believe that making them unable to like or dislike is fair enough.

Very helpful thanks 🙏🏼 Any idea how can I stop someone from seeing my content on my channel? Recent troll can't comment on my channel now but still reply to my comments on other channel where I leave messages about my content

This is so important for every channel creator. Before hiding them, I always take a screen shot of their comment and save it. Some of you channel creators should consider taking a screen shot first, too, as some of you (us) are easy to find. There are many trolls out there who, well, might try to find you. I once heard someone who was in cybersecurity when the internet first was "a thing" say, "The internet isn't the television. It's the telephone."

Amazing content VidIQ!!! Very educational and practical. Thanks for the amazing content!!!

Hey vidIQ! Is there any way to block someone being able to VIEW my content? Or maybe to block an entire country from viewing? (I know this used to be an option in classic Studio but doesn't seem to be in the new version.) The reason I ask is that I have someone from another country who has been regularly plagiarizing my content and I want to see if I can stop it altogether. I've tried using the copyright system, but it's been ineffective. I'd like to find a way to block them from viewing my content. Thanks for your thoughts!

thx for helping me out Ive been getting a lot of inappropriate comments (trying to get my email cuz im young and think ill fall for it) and now no one on my channel will ever see that comment ever again thx again really appreciate. May the force be with you.......always

THANK YOU SO MUCH! There was this guy who kept going to my vids and saying "WORST VIDEO AND CHANNEL EVER!!!" (also thx for auditing my channel.)

I would never block my only viewer

Gearing up to start my own channel and was concerned about this. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial.

Thank you! There was this person who kept spamming and I’m a new YouTuber so I didn’t know how to do that so I got the YouTube studio app and I did it! Thanks for your help!
