Youtube comments have always been some of the biggest sources of bots and are extremely prone to manipulation. Especially since when legitimate users comment they very often dont appear while bots can comment so often they’re guaranteed to appear. In addition I feel like google allows for like manipulation by the US gov.
i noticed they started rearing thier ugly head in the comments on youtube around 2020, then it just became “woke this and that” on the most “progressive type of videos”. then suddenly overnight right wing shorts started to appear at least once in a while, plus hypermasculinity videos.
