    I don’t understand the purpose of these bot comments? I see them a lot of videos within minutes of them being posted.

      One reason might be to game the YouTube algorithm. Rumor has it that a video with more interaction gets boosted. Though I don’t believe that in this instance, since I respect the creator.

      Another reason might be to make the commenting accounts themselves look real. Though I can’t imagine for what purpose.

        Are they intentionally poor comments like those wealthy foreign prince emails allegedly are (to ward off intelligent people)?

        Or are they using GPT-2.9 or something?

        Even last year’s language models should be better, and you could prompt in your native language and ask for English translations once you’re satisfied.

      Usually it’s a hot girl as the PFP, and their profile will have a chain of links that takes you to some sort of scam page or an onlyfans or something
