Feature
Sentiment
See whether the room is turning, across the last 30 days.
Sentiment is paused while we ask YouTube for permission to offer it. Nothing already scored is deleted.
The tray scores where each comment the AI reads stands towards you and your community. It isn't a mood detector, and the score never decides whether a comment is held. As the scores build up, Sentiment shows the room over the last 30 days, how each video landed, and the comments that mention sponsors you've named.

What you can do with it
See how each video landed
Once a video has at least three scored comments, it shows as hostile, neutral or supportive, with the number of comments.
See what's said about sponsors
Add a sponsor by name and read the AI-scored comments that mention them, in the viewers' own words, with the video and date.
The path
How it works
The AI reads a comment
The score runs from -1 for hostile or contemptuous, through 0 for neutral or purely informational, to +1 for encouraging or supportive. Scores from -0.15 to +0.15 are shown as neutral.
The score stays separate
It describes where the viewer stands towards you and your community, not their mood. It never changes a moderation decision.
It waits for three comments
The tray waits for three scored comments before it draws a 30-day line, labels the latest seven days, or shows a score for a video or a sponsor overall.

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.
Mike
