I think most Youtube spam comments are done by bots, I can't imagine people are stupid enough to waste their time manually doing this. I know some people do but they are stupid as they are just wasting their own time.

The majority of them are caught by Youtubes spam filter but some do skip through.

What's a bigger headache is sometimes good comments get caught by the spam filter so I like to manually go through and allow some or allow links as oftentimes I ask my subscribers to drop a link but whats frustrating is having to sort through literally thousands of spam comments to find the legit ones, I can't even keep up with it.

What's even more frustrating with this is people who steal my videos and reupload them, happens about a dozen times a week.

I just subbed to your channel, not to be a spammer but check my stuff out I think you may like it, I'm into affiliate marketing, merch, ecommerce, kindle publishing, really just hustling
