How to Make your YouTube Comments in Bold Format

What better way to emphasize your comment than making the text bold. Bolding a text thickens it, making it easier to spot among the surge of comments every second.

To make your YouTube comments bold, all you have to do is add an asterisk sign (*) before and after the text. You can bold a word, a phrase or an entire sentence.

Editing the text to italics also gives emphasis to the word or phrase. Many users italicize their comments if they want to emphasize an exaggeration, create a dialogue or post an excerpt.

To set your comments in italics, you need to add an underscore (_) before and after the word or phrase.

Adding a Strike-Through Text on your YouTube Comments

Adding a Strike-Through Text on your YouTube Comments

A strike-through deletes a word or phrase but does not necessarily remove it from the sentence. This emphasizes adjustment or changes while also noting the changes it came from.

For instance, you acknowledged having been stand-corrected so you strike through the word or sentence from your previous comment and add the changes on your new comment next to the strike-through.

To strike-through a comment, simply, add a dash (-) before and after it.

In Closing

Text formatting can help draw people’s attention to your YouTube’s comments. Use it well to everyone’s benefit.
