New kind of spam

[Meifesto]

So recently i have seen these comments more and more with every single video.
Anyone else has the same experience?
They seem to find the video within the first hour it is live, which is quite interesting on its own.

I think it is a bot, I've blocked them I think now.

I have seen that mess before on my channel.

Makes me think of some old pervert in van offering me candy to ride with them.

Bot or Asia/indian channel, as sub for sub is a big big thing there.

Yeah I told these bastards to piss off the first time I saw them, haven't bothered me since - Makes me think it's an actual person behind the scenes

Something that has not affected myself but I will keep my eyes peeled for any odd activity..

I just thank them and ignore the last question.
Can't even be friends on youtube xD

They piss me off, JP puts out a video commemorating a friend of his who lost his life and the comments are "Great video! Do you want to be friends?" - Fuck right off mate (Erm the bot, not you. Heh.)

Yeah, that is the wrong side indeed.
Very wrong...

Flippin bots! Guys are running dozens to thousands of these types of accounts, all watching for newly uploaded videos.

Not sure there is much we can do except report the accounts. These types of accounts are easier to detect on YT internal side.

Same, been getting comments like those.. I'm more curious as to what they mean by "YouTube friends" though. Haha!

I suspect its a translation error and is not made by a YT creator.

Twitter has been flooded with smarter bots in the last few years, pushing political agenda's etc.
