The Litter Tray

Feature

Never writes as you

Moderate comments without an AI that writes as you.

The AI never writes a word as you, and the tray never replies on its own. It can change an existing comment's moderation status or ban a viewer from the channel after confirmation, but it never drafts or suggests a reply, and it cannot edit a creator comment.

Other tools sell AI replies that sound like you, with an approval queue to catch the bad ones. Ours writes none, so there is nothing to catch.

The path

How it works

  1. The tray reads a comment

    It keeps the text and moderation status YouTube returns.

  2. A rule or a person decides

    The decision is about an existing viewer comment. No rule ever writes a reply.

  3. Only an available moderation action runs

    The tray can hold or restore a comment. YouTube Studio: Held offers Publish, Delete comment, or Delete and ban user, with confirmation before destructive actions.

  4. The result is recorded

    Comment detail and the viewer's action history show what changed and who asked for it.

Built by a creator, for his own channel first

I built the moderator my own channel needed.

Hey friends, I'm Mike. My channel grew to 50,000 subscribers, and the comments grew well past 50,000 with it. No one creator can read every comment at that size. I really valued the community that built up around my channel, but the volume and intensity of comments was overwhelming.

When the trolls started taking over the time I wanted to spend with the lovely community around my channel, I dusted off the toolkit and built The Litter Tray around the rules and restraint I wanted near my own audience. I want creators to be able to get set up in seconds, spend a few minutes setting the rules that matter to them, and make persistent trolls much harder to miss, so they can get back to making videos.
