According to a commenter (@adamblack8279), the way the bots have been evading detection is through an invisible unicode character that reverses what they've typed (make "hello" look like "olleh"), but when it's commented it displays regularly. The blocklist provided in the description does include this unicode character, so it should detect them as well.
As a commenter, I have a lot of these bots replying to my comments. It's sad that UA-cam is doing nothing about it even though it's their responsibility, and now we have to take matters into our own hands in order to stop this.
i have two or three? maybe more? comments with a lot of replies, but i also comment a lot (i just do comments and community posts.) but..i have seen comments with those replies
UA-cam fix the issue of these Channels that always comments or comment a already commented thing and make ur reply on top with 1K likes and the rest 1K dislikes to ensure ur comment in top too?
I'm convinced at this point UA-cam is in a self-isolation chamber. Their moderation is dogshit and you're better off just following this video. Incredibly useful.
its disgusting how they are literally posting THE FULL VIDEO of it just blurred out. it's disgusting. UA-cam is doing nothing while people are spam reporting them
@@likebeggar12345 they only care about DMCA claims because their platform risks being taken down unless if they comply with it. Only if their wallets are on the line lol
I love the ones that just repeat another comment verbatim, like how the hell are you being out done by R9k. I'd understand if it wasn't copy paste 1-1, but it is, in what world would anybody need to do that?
Thx. It's really gotten out of control. Every single comment section is filled with porn bots and Russian bots. I noticed a huge uptick since 2020, maybe even as far back as 2016. I will implement some of these steps.
Penguinz0 said that he used all of these filters, blocked phrases, and all sorts of stuff and they still go through. Also, most bots use a language thing where if translated gives an awful English message. I don't like how there's this rude like feeling when you say it takes a bit of work. Again, they tried very hard but still there are the same spambots. In fact I see new ones everyday
@@varietychan sorry if I sounded critical in my video towards other creators; I respect their efforts, but from my understanding, the bots are able to bypass filters using a unicode symbol, which if you modify your list to include it, it will block them successfully. Additionally, while not as efficient, at least blocking comments completely for certain accounts can fix the issue (the bots couldn't bypass that). I do think that the creators who are having these issues and making videos on it should do their research and try everything using the tools they've been given, and I wanted to highlight some ways to do so in my video. Hopefully my video helps the fight against these bots but if all of my mentioned methods somehow fail, then I'll research further myself and upload the better methods
@@varietychan also, I had not actually seen that type of bot before, the one that translates into bad stuff. That's interesting, I'll have to look more into it
I'm just a regular YT watcher , thankfully I haven't seen the sick comments like the one above, but the site is infested with bots , frequently with an icon of a women's bum or knickers , making anodyne comments or fake conversation about eg: crypto etc , immediately a video is posted. It puts me off making a comment myself when the first 4 posts are obviously by bots. Can YT really do nothing to stop them?
Never seen these type of comments before either, however plenty of "0nlYFans" bot comments with random links. UA-cam has never cared about it's platform or transparency though, as users we should have been abandoned the site and its monopoly on entertainment.

@@builderdude3428 Yeah I've seen those too. I personally think that, while they're trying to do it for a good reason, that it only contributes to the problem. I just think that there shouldn't be any automation of comments. That's just me though
There was a list of obscene words for discord automod that I just converted new lines to commas. (in vscode you find and replace [ ] with a comma you can bulk import banned words via comma separated list. I banned about 400 words I didn't want in my channel.
@@JessicaFEREM that's a good way of doing it. My list blocks some words that more mature channels may deem extreme, so if you want to link your own here go for it (you may need to send it to me out of comments, but if you do I'll post and pin it with credit)
