About YouTube Spammer Purge
YouTube Spammer Purge scans YouTube comments for spam and scam patterns, then deletes, reports, or holds matching comments for review after confirmation. It can filter by username, comment text, channel ID, or regex, and can scan a single video, recent videos, or recent comments across a channel, including other channels.
The program runs locally on Windows, macOS, and Linux and requires the user to create their own Google Cloud project and API key. It does not prevent future spam, it only helps remove comments that have already appeared.

The program runs locally on your machine using an API key and Google Cloud project you create yourself.
Can I limit what the app can access?
