Most of the comments are also AI bots. I have no idea why, but there is a massive ecosystem of AI bots on youtube just responding to AI slop over and over again, probably to boost engagement.
Its idle game quadratic math, get ai bots to "respond each other" and turn 1k views to 50 million.
And since it drives up "views" it means platforms can charge more for ad revenue. I wonder at what point companies will realise that 90% (or more!) of the views on videos are just bots and no human has ever seen them. Hell, there's probably already at least 1 youtube video out there with more than a million views and 0 human eyes have ever seen it.
