You may be noticing something a bit off going on around YouTube right now, a problem that is only getting bigger every day and getting more sophisticated, more difficult to stop, the longer it remains unresolved. Yes, I am talking about the current epidemic of spam flooding the YouTube comment section. If youâve read the comments of any popular video that has been recently uploaded, then youâve definitely come across these in some way, shape, or form. âFinally itâs here!â âThanks for your support!â âI have a surprise for you!â really any form of enticing language accompanied by strange text and a shortened URL. The account typically impersonates a well-known YouTube channel, boasting the same name and profile picture.
But it doesnât stop there. These bots have evolved from impersonating notable creators to now impersonating everyday people; the types of comments that you would never even suspect. They donât contain links, calls to action, or any visible incentive to attract users. And the longer they stay around, the more convincing they become, and the more they continue to fool people. Some of them are even full-on conversations, but itâs all fake. Why? Where is this strange infestation of bot channels coming from, what exact purpose does it serve, and what can be done to combat it? And most importantly, what is YouTube doing to stop it?

Can we just appreciate how long he spends on his videos? Amazing work!
-YouTube bots
"What is YouTube doing to stop it?" Nothing! AdTube has been kicking down it's users while allowing crime to prosper. They REALLY don't care about the users and only care about their bank accounts.
Iâve been getting Polls from "Jimmy". Jimmy is a bot that has made ZERO VIDEOS, While Mr. Beast has made over 100. Thatâs the difference.
As an npc mojang needs to hire camman18 -bot comments
Did Amanda call you back? đ

"can we appreciate how he puts effort in his videos?" – orphans
I'm having tf2 flashbacks
ive ever seen a bot reply i only saw bot comments can we appriedate how much he tooks blah blah blah
There is also a shit ton of sex spam bots on a roblox youtube channel called flamingo, and the worst part is that his fans are mostly children. (i think)
I think it was around 2018, there was suddenly a deluge of replies to comments which only contained your username. I was getting at least one a day, which simply read '97channel'. I understood from the start that it was spam, but I never worked out what the aim was.
these bots are annoying, i even found them where i was in someoneâs yt video where i got disconnected by a bad wifi, truly disrespectful.
