i think yesterday i saw comments on some cbs youtube videos, that catched my eyes, for the first time. i mean, they are obviously fake. today again, on different videos, but always the same sentiment: “great post! keep going! emoji, emoji”
but why? i’d understand hate comments, but that?
am i going nuts?

Doesn’t have to work often, just often enough.
These aren’t AI.
And usually it’s to make an account look legitimate so when it starts posting spam it doesn’t get flagged so fast.
Or given the user photo, the account has a bunch of ad/spam/scam videos and is hoping to draw people in to click with tiddies.
Yeah just bots
This is the internet now. It’s all bots.
Coomer clickbait made by bot farms or corporate companies for whales and incels.
Why? Because money.
The answer is to make these accounts look more ligitimate.
The Surprise twist is that she’s actually just a really big fan and doesn’t realize her picture appears on all of her alts.
More comments means more human. files.catbox.moe/h10fqv.jpeg
you ever see streamers ban accounts that say “cheap viewers, buy here” and other such comments? this is what their cheap viewers look like
That 4th name is hilarious though.

“Subtle” thirst trap. Trying to get people to click on the profile which will have a link to whatever spam they’re peddling.

Hopping in here to clarify for OP that these aren’t AI. They’re just spam bots. Their scripts are pre-generated and may at most contain a vague reference to specifics of the video. They are not unique to CBS videos in any way. Many YouTube channels curate spam out of their comments but that process is time-consuming and/or leads to accidental censorship of unproblematic comments.
