[YouTube-API] Re: Application behaviour results in comments being marked as spam?

I have no idea. That sort of thing is outside of the control of the
YouTube API team, and I don't think anyone from the team that deals
with YouTube comment spam would share the specifics behind the
algorithms of how spam is detected.

Cheers,
