YouTube comment management for spiritual creators

1. 1. Answer guidance requests with a boundary

   You cannot do justice to a reading in a public reply, and trying to drains you within weeks. AI intent matching finds these requests however they are worded, the reply stays a carefully written template, and approval mode lets you swap in a personal reply for a regular you recognize.

   Rule 1: AI intent + fixed reply, approval mode

   When

   AI intent: the commenter is sharing a personal situation and asking for a reading, spiritual guidance, healing, or prayer for themselves or someone close to them

   Then

   Reply with a fixed template: “@author Thank you for trusting me with this. I can't do personal readings in the comments, but this is exactly what private sessions are for: example.com/book”

   Mode

   Needs approval: nothing posts until you approve it

2. 2. Answer booking questions fast

   Someone ready to book today books with another practitioner tomorrow. The pattern targets booking phrases rather than single words like "reading", which would also match "reading this gave me chills".

   Rule 2: Keyword pattern + fixed reply, automatic

   When

   Keyword pattern: \b(how (do|can) i book|book(ing)? a (reading|session)|private (reading|session)s?|appointment|calendar open)\b

   Then

   Reply with a fixed template: “@author You can book a private session at example.com/book. New openings are added each week.”

3. 3. Reply warmly to gratitude, in the viewer's language

   Thank-you comments are most of the volume on a spiritual channel and the easiest to answer well. An AI reply that reflects one specific thing the viewer said, in their language and your register, is how the channels in our case studies keep up at scale.

   Rule 3: AI intent + AI reply, approval mode

   When

   AI intent: the commenter is thanking you or sharing how the message helped them, without asking a question

   Then

   Reply with AI, following this instruction: “Reply warmly in one or two sentences in the same language as the comment, reflect one specific thing they said, and close with a short blessing in the style of my past replies”

   Mode

   Needs approval: nothing posts until you approve it

4. 4. Hold impersonation scams

   Scammers copy your name and photo and offer fake paid readings to the people who trust you most. Hold their comments before followers reply; holding is reversible, and held comments stay in YouTube Studio's review queue.

   Rule 4: Keyword pattern + hold for review, automatic

   When

   Keyword pattern: \b(whats ?app|telegram|write me|message me|text me)\b|\+\d[\d ]{7,}

   Then

   Hold for review (hidden until you approve it in YouTube Studio)

   Mode

   Runs automatically
