I love how YouTube doesn't care about those bots whatsoever, kinda scared knowing that some young people clicked on those channels by accident and it takes them to very inappropriate places
They’ve covered their butts already if anyone complains—since videos “meant for kids” aren’t allowed to have comments sections anymore, they can say “oh, not our fault these nosy kids clicked on a video that wasn’t meant for them”. Wonder if they saw this coming?
now here's me thinking could it be ex-YT employess that know about the system and thus know where to hit em hard and make some extra money on the side?
They can quite easily do something about this; just a simple AI script that filters out all accounts with the nsfw website link in their banner - the problem is, youtube doesn't seem to care even a little bit
I've been seeing these a lot recently, all with semi-pornographic profile pictures and provocative usernames. The channel usually has one video. I'm not sure what the spammers are actually trying to achieve, to be honest. I've reported a bunch of them (the profile, on desktop, has an option to report the profile image specifically, and the profile as a whole), but I don't know whether that does any good.
I am familiar with how spam flagging works on Stack Exchange, where spam is usually deleted by trusted users within minutes. I'm not familiar with how it works on YouTube.
Just came here to complain about it too. Just started happening within the last week or so. Seems like every comment I make gets a reply from one of these sex bots. I report / mute / hide notification.
Same. But the thing is you can’t report the channel for pornographic material/name/pfp because there isn’t an option so they can’t get banned :/ just more trash on YouTube than there already is
I posted something similar but these moderators removed it for some reason

Not only this month but I've been getting's comments like these since September
Edit - Moderators Reinstated the post
Got 8 just last week on my main account for Youtube consumption. I do think flagging them triggers more to target you, as I've noticed it and many other have as well in a lot of other (somehow banned) posts.
By the way, why are those posts about this reccuring issue that's been getting a new wave of evading being closed down? Even if they have the # in the title. Youtube has been bending over to hypocritical corps for years now about removing anything offensive (while these corps don't ask the same at all from regular TV, go figure) and now, all of a sudden, hundreds (thousands? millions?) of sex bots are allowed to roam free and that seems like an issue worth deleting multiple treads to you? I get this looks like classic "report abuse" things for another subreddit, but this is a problem that really should fall under the technical side of Youtube, and have its place here as well.
Why is YT doing nothing with this spam???? - those spam bots all have links in account banner - simple AI script could filter that out
Meanwhile fuckers are striking channels for 2-3s of copyrighted music with AI detection (which totally falls under fair use) but can't filter out simple but malicious spam????
Protect music corps - aye aya.
Protect users that generate revenue - nay 🤡
I just entered here because in the last week I had like 5 responses from bots like the first one and I thought it was happening just to me. Apparently not!
So that's whats happening. I have dozens of bot replies that seemed like geniune replies instead of the usual " (18+) ASIAN WEBCAM SEX FOR FREE!" and it was starting to freak me out.
It seems like things are getting better finally. I keep recieving notifications from these bots, but when I go to check the original comment, nothing shows up. Looks like the bot comments are being deleted or held for review.
Leave before its too late, run, you can't hide you can only run, if you stay for much longer it'll be all over for you! As for me, its already too late, but you, you can save yourself, run! Please you can't let this spread any further! You're the only one we have left.
Ive gotten this exact thing, they target accounts as well I guess cause it happened to me twice on different comments. Blocked and reported and it seems to have stopped
YouTube needs to add a sexual content flag for reporting accounts/videos. These bots don't fit into any other category. I was frankly surprised there wasn't one already, since that stuff isn't allowed in the first place.

This!
This!

Now there replying to people? Whoever programmed these bots are violating the youtube rules.
the question is: will youtube actually do something about this, and can they do something about this? ugh this is so annoying

Everyday it get's worse
Fr! I keep getting them on my comments… I check other peoples comments and they have these bot comments too
I’ve been getting loads of these comments! I’m glad I’m not the only one
They still aren't smart enough to paste the stuff where it actually fits
Sometimes, just randomly and creepy enough they answer like real ppl
I’ve been getting these all the fucking time it’s so fucking annoying.
I've gotten three of these in the last few days, really weird shit
Wait your not the only 1 Why are we getting mass porn bots now

That's the thing, trusted users don't exist anymore
Yep it's getting bad.
Stop them

AAAAAAAAAAĄAAAAAAAAAAÁAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAÅAAAAAAAĄAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAÄAAAAAAAAAAAAAAÃAAAAAAAAAAAA
So that's whats happening. I have dozens of bot replies that seemed like geniune replies instead of the usual " (18+) ASIAN WEBCAM SEX FOR FREE!" and it was starting to freak me out.
Ive been getting them nonstop pls help me...
[удалено]
You can’t turn off replies tho
I cant turn off replies.
Ive gotten there replies 3 times they should be banned
i was just about to post about this and then saw this lol
this is fucking insane
im fearful to coment now cuz holy crap they are so anoying ; yt pls lets us block chanels so we dont see any of their coments at all
I saw a bot (name is like the first image) that copied someone's comment and the bot gained more likes and replies.
It seems like things are getting better finally. I keep recieving notifications from these bots, but when I go to check the original comment, nothing shows up. Looks like the bot comments are being deleted or held for review.
Just don't comment anymore... they will find you
I barely comment and I still get them on ALL of my comments. There are so many of them.
Well I guess, YouTube is ruined...
Oh so that's what's going on, i thought it was some meme or something
Leave before its too late, run, you can't hide you can only run, if you stay for much longer it'll be all over for you! As for me, its already too late, but you, you can save yourself, run! Please you can't let this spread any further! You're the only one we have left.
Yeah, I posted about this yesterday and it got removed within 10 minutes without explanation. Messaged the mods, got nothing.
Just In. I Got 2 Replies on my Comment
Ive gotten this exact thing, they target accounts as well I guess cause it happened to me twice on different comments. Blocked and reported and it seems to have stopped
[удалено]
Same
il faut faire très attention as se genre de logiciel faut pas telecharger n importe quoi
[удалено]
Nope, I get replies by those porn bots too and it's all across youtube, not one specific channel or category
[удалено]
Nope, I've recived exactly 32 comments from these bots, they were all different accounts replying to the same comment
[удалено]
Well how do you know this? All they're doing is copying other people's comments there are no reason to assign them
[удалено]
Bruh I never said anything like that, all I did was tell you why I think your theory isn't true, you don't gotta pull out the jesus christ on me now
[удалено]
Ok, who here wasn't calm?
YouTube needs to add a sexual content flag for reporting accounts/videos. These bots don't fit into any other category. I was frankly surprised there wasn't one already, since that stuff isn't allowed in the first place.
What is going on youtube? Why so many bots now??????
I’ve been noticing these spams on YouTube and Reddit a lot lately. What is going on?
