The term "spam" generally means unwanted messages which try to sell you something or trick you into buying a product or even downloading malicious software or viruses. Comments marked as spam on YouTube are hidden, usually because they contain chain mail, links to services or dubious web sites.

An example of spam might be:

*OMG COPY AND PASTE THIS ONTO 6 DIFFERENT VIDS THEN GET ON CLUB PENGUIN HOLD DOWN F5 WHEN YOU LOG ON TO CLUBPENGUIN THEN HOLD DOWN F6 WHEN YOU LOGON TO Club Penguin THEN WHEN YOU LOG ON CLICK ON YOUR PENGUIN AND YOU WILL BE A FULL MEMBER AND YOU WILL HAVE MAIL WHEN YOU CLICK ON YOUR PENGUIN IT WILL SAY… CONGRATS YOU ARE A MEMBER FOR 42,0000000000000000 YEARS!!! THEN CLICK ON YOUR PENGUIN AGAIN AND U WILL HAVE THE SAME AMOUT OF COINS AS YOUR MEMBERSHIP*

Marking comments as spam helps improves the user experience as hiding these unwanted comments means you don't have to read them.

It means that someone is posting advertisements for their own page or some type of get rich quick scheme. In other words a post that has nothing to do with the video or topic at hand.
