Can someone explain to me the reason these bots exists? And why are they always so obvious, all of these bots pics has a girl in them and a very porno ad title kind of name? This bots picture was very mild (pretty normal even actually) compared to what I see in YouTubes comment section everyday.... They can be extremely pornographic.
Is this the new "Russian girl close to you" ad?
I'm guessing that once these bots have farmed enough karma, their owners will sell them to other people who will use them for advertising or propaganda.
quantity over quality is a pretty effective scam technique, it's hard to get money from experienced technical users. So the initial hook is sometimes designed to intentionally be obvious to those users so they know to ignore it, so that the scammers don't waste their resources on the later stages of the scam
If you click on the profile page there's usually some link in them. Unfortunately YT removed the ability to report spam comments recently. lol
Edit: That's for YT bots. I don't know what platform this is but I'd assume it is probably the same there.

Surely this isn't true..? That would be so dumb.
For Google, nothing is too dumb! Not even joking. They're absolute trash nowadays at almost everything they do, even for normal / startup standards.
Might be because I've been reporting all sponsored content as spam.
So it is just an ad? And weirdly obvious about it?
Possibly, or a scam, or worse. I don't actually follow the links through as I don't want to potentially want to visit something that has malicious code.
Yes and they have the Beautiful Model Barbara Hutch (v.4e) to add credibility.
it doesn't matter to the bots author why you click it, just that someone does occasionally.
Step 1: Repeat popular comments for a few months to make the account look vaguely like a real person and thus more credible.
Step 2: Switch bot to spewing propaganda.But would that even work on YouTube? Maybe I have missed something, but can you really tell if an account is "popular" can you even check comment history? Wouldn't uploading other ppls videos and get subscribers work like you said? And why that name and picture?
