Buy YouTube Comments

Start with the video's audience setting. Videos set as made for kids have comments switched off, and they cannot be switched back on while that setting stands, so a comments order has nowhere to land. If a video carries that label because children are its audience, this service is not for it, and the label should not be changed just to let comments in; it exists for legal reasons.

Next, the comment setting on the video itself, which can be On, Paused or Off. Paused keeps the existing comments but accepts no new ones, and Off accepts none, so either stops an order. Then check the moderation level. At the time of writing YouTube Studio offers None, Basic, Strict and Hold all: Basic holds comments it considers potentially inappropriate, Strict holds a broader range, and Hold all keeps every new comment back until you approve it.

Blocked words and links are the last filter. Comments that contain, or closely match, a word on your blocked list may be held, and channels can hold any comment containing a link. Held comments stay hidden from the public unless you approve them, and YouTube Studio keeps them for up to 60 days, so after delivery, look through the held comments before assuming something went missing.

Some videos should hear only from their audience. A video about a death, an illness, a disaster or a tragedy draws comments that matter to the people reading them, and a run of upbeat general comments there is jarring at best and hurtful at worst. The same goes for videos on medical, money or legal decisions, where a comment can read as advice.

Giveaways are a firm no. If viewers enter by commenting, bought comments distort the draw for the people who entered in good faith, and we would not take part in that. A sponsored video whose brand measures the deal by comment count is off limits for the same reason: the partner paying for the result would be the one misled.

Made for kids

Comments are off, so an order cannot land.

Sensitive subjects

Grief, illness, disaster, or anything where a comment reads as advice.

Comment giveaways

Bought comments would skew the draw for the viewers who entered.

Sponsored results

A video where a partner measures the deal by comments.

Likely to be deleted

Comments disappear with the video, and there is nothing left to top up.

Viewers do not see comments in the order they arrive. By default YouTube sorts them as Top comments, putting first what it expects viewers to value and interact with, and only people who switch to Newest first see a plain timeline. Delivered comments therefore spread through the section rather than stacking at the top.

You have two tools of your own. You can pin a comment to the top of the section, where it carries a “Pinned by” label with your channel name, and you can heart any comment, which puts your avatar with a small red heart beneath it. Neither is needed for an order to work, but both shape what a newcomer reads first.

The most useful pin is usually your own comment: a correction, a pointer to the next part, or the question you want viewers to answer. A pinned comment reads as the one you chose to stand behind, so it should be in your voice, not borrowed from an order.

On High Quality and VIP, the comments are general ones chosen for you: short, positive and written to suit most videos. They say nothing specific to yours, which makes them a good fit where a warm reaction is the natural response, such as a music video, a vlog or a highlight reel, and a weaker fit where viewers would ask about a step, a product or a claim.

On Elite the words are yours. The checkout box takes a line per comment, and you fill as many lines as the package holds; each goes up word for word, so the language, tone and detail are your choice. A counter under the box shows how many lines are still to go, and lines beyond the package size are ignored. The tier also sets who posts them: High Quality uses real-looking profiles, VIP uses accounts that have photos, posts and activity of their own, and Elite uses established profiles with history.

If a blank box is daunting, “Write them for me” drafts a set from what it can read about the video, and the button becomes “Rewrite for me” once lines are in place. Every draft line stays editable before you pay, and it is worth editing them: you know which moments of the video people actually talk about.

Comments under a twenty-minute video read differently from comments under a clip. Viewers of long videos quote moments, ask follow-up questions and push back on a point, so a column of one-word praise looks out of place there. If you are writing Elite lines, aim for the comments your viewers would leave after watching the whole thing.

Spread the tone as well as the content. An unprompted comment section has a few long, considered comments, plenty of short reactions and the odd joke, and a set of custom lines that mixes those reads as a crowd rather than a chorus. Keep praise of you personally to a minimum as well; most viewers talk about the video, not the person who made it.

Timestamps

Type a time such as 12:40 and YouTube usually turns it into a link to that moment. A few comments about specific scenes look like people who watched.

Questions

Ask what a viewer might: which lens, what happened next, whether a second part is coming. Questions give you something to answer.

One detail each

Tie each line to a single thing in the video and vary the length; a run of identical openings reads as a script.

Leave out

Links, other channels' handles and anything your blocked-words list would catch. Those are the lines most likely to be held.

Not testimonials

No lines claiming to have bought, used or been helped by something you sell. They mislead viewers deciding whether to pay, and this service is not for that.

Unlike our other YouTube services, checkout here asks you to paste the video's link rather than pick it from your channel, and one package goes to one video. For two videos, add two packages. The link has to lead to a public video with comments switched on, and it should stay like that until delivery finishes; a deleted video, or one made private, stalls or breaks the order.

Comments are spread over 24 hours rather than posted in one burst, because a section that fills up in a single minute looks nothing like one that grew while people watched. Order once the video has had its first viewers, too: thoughtful comments on a long video that appear before anyone could have finished watching it are easy to spot.

YouTube's fake engagement policy covers comments as firmly as views, and YouTube can remove comments or act on channels when it finds inauthentic activity. We never need access to your channel, but nobody can promise every comment will stay. If delivered comments drop within 30 days, send the order number and support re-posts the shortfall at no charge, on any tier.

A comment section should look proportionate to the audience above it. What follows is our suggestion for keeping it that way; YouTube has never put a number on it.

10 to 25 comments

A new upload with a few hundred or a few thousand views and an empty section. Enough to start a thread.

50 to 100 comments

Videos in the tens of thousands of views, where a dozen comments would look thin.

500 to 1,000 comments

Only for videos with a very large audience, and on Elite, only if you are ready to write or edit that many lines.

Comments are read with the numbers above them. A busy section under a thin like total looks odd, and so does the reverse.

• LikesLots of discussion under a low like total reads as an argument rather than approval. Likes bring that figure into line.from $3.99
• ViewsDozens of comments on a video with a few hundred plays is a ratio viewers notice. Views give the conversation an audience.from $1.99
