For a few months now, these bot comments seem to be appearing more and more frequently. Always with a profile picture of a model making innuendos, accompanied by a generic comment praising the video and practically always adding some kind of emoji. Is this some new scam or is it just the current generation of spambots as per usual?

Not that I'm particularly interested in the YouTube comments, but I occasionally check them out and noticed this.

Understatement of the decade, or maybe closer to 15 years now?

Not sure if trolling. Was talking about this specific kind of spam being visible there.

Ye, I've seen that specific kind of spam for that long there
