The Litter Tray

Feature

The AI 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. What the tray can do is change whether an existing comment is held, published or deleted, and ban a viewer from your channel once you've confirmed. It never drafts or suggests a reply, and it can't edit your own comments.

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.

Outcomes

What you can do with it

Keep your voice yours

The AI never writes a reply or a comment in your name, and the tray can't edit your own comments.

Moderate all the same

Hold a comment, or put one back on YouTube. In YouTube Studio: Held, choose Publish, Delete comment, or Delete and ban user.

Check each action

See what was asked for and whether it went through on YouTube.

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 a moderation action runs

    The tray can hold a comment or put it back. YouTube Studio: Held adds Publish, Delete comment and Delete and ban user, and asks you to confirm before it deletes or bans.

  4. The result is recorded

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

Mike, the founder of The Litter Tray

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 valued the community that built up around my channel, but the volume and intensity of the comments were overwhelming.

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