YouTube Comments Issues

Introduction

Comment Bots

• Comment Bots: Automated accounts leave comments to promote themselves.
  • Example: "Great video! Wanna be friends?"
  • Risks:
    • Bots aim to gain your trust to potentially hack your account.
    • Engaging with bots (liking or replying) could lead to account compromise.

Specific Channels and Comments

• Channels like Logan and Tom spam comments asking to be friends, which are not genuine.
• Security Concern:
  • Possible hacking risk if you interact with these bots.
  • The presenter expresses disbelief in the hacking claims but remains cautious.

Experiment with Bots

• Presenter plans to create a fake account to interact with comment bots.
  • Post a video about Fortnite to attract attention from bots.
  • Likes and subscriptions given to bot channels to test if hacking occurs.

• Example of a spam comment: "I'm gifting my next 20 subs."
  • Presenter engages with spammers to understand their motives.

Real Responses from Spammers

Negative Comments on YouTube
