so, I& #39;ve realized I was targeted by some bots so I decided to do some research about the subject. I& #39;ll go sharing findings and thoughts through the day. I know a lot of small channels are getting targeted and mistsking it for genuine interactions.
1) calm down. This is new. We don& #39;t know why this people are doing what they& #39;re doing. 2nd) lately there& #39;s been an influx of mindless comments kn my videos. I& #39;d distinguish them from genuine ones bc of their content, the fact that they& #39;re new accounts (from 1-3 days), etc
this follows some complaints by some ppl having a channel called tim/tomcomment their vid minutes after uploading with a bot-like message. so i was aware and started looking into every account that commented that I didn& #39;t recognize from before. roughly 90% was new and private sub
this means no possibility to check if they& #39;re a genuine account of someone who, f.e., comes from another channel where they mention me, and someone who& #39;s targeting me bc of what godforsaken reason you can think. bc that& #39;s the problem: I DON& #39;T KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING
my guess is as good as yours: i cannot trace these bots to see who else has used them and/or where. so if you& #39;ve received general positive comments from ppl with generic names do not mistake this as genuine interactions. they& #39;re not and they might be harmful to your channel
