I consume quite a lot of YouTube content and in the last few weeks have noticed obvious bots/spammers replying to my comments. They do so across many channels and are all "sensible comments" - often copies of other comments - but the accounts are all called "Sally wants you to **** her" or "tap me for a ****" for instance, slight variations but clearly all the same.
I keep blocking them but to no avail and I don't see them on others' comments on the same videos, and YouTube doesn't seem to be auto-blocking them.
Apparently my specific account has been tagged and is being followed around YouTube which makes me a little concerned. I've not had this before and not sure what if anything I can do about it. I've seen scammers target individual channels but this is following be around reputable, well-policed comment sections.
