a feel for YT anti spam AI

[nob-rot]

As a reporter user [not a channel] I don't think just reporting some types of spam has much of an effect with YT. However adding to the spam domains list has a benefit for channel app users. [or more a detriment to the spammers]

now there's some handwaving by me here because who knows how YT anti spam AI works, but I think the AI recognises my reports as good.
Like I said, I don't think just reporting spam in app carries that much weight, but manually reporting a spambot account [account/about/report, not just a comment report] does carry weight once proven.

so easy examples are impersonation, contact me on tele.... etc, accounts are made every day [yt banning unicode was bullshit news] these accounts might be 10% of all comments on videos they target. This is how to get trusted by the AI [for good]; use the app to report all the spam but for the tele/whatsapp scammers report their channel with this message

419 comment spambot, impersonates [link to channel they impersonate, most often video author]

that builds the AI trusting you a bit more, for spam video links bots, despite how prevalent bots that use "finally..." "we all enjoyed...." "last fight..." "2nd part of video..." "link to full video...". There's not that many channels they promote, and there's not really that many bots.

what I've done there is; let say a video is spammed with links to mCfYi7634rU [very common even after that video link went into spam domain list, hence why I think just reporting isn't that effective ]

I manually report the 7-8 bots posting at the channel level but I link them all together

comment spambot, part of network
[acc# of a spambot]
[acc# of a spambot]
[acc# of a spambot]
[acc# of a spambot]
etc

like I said "hand waving", it could be the spammers machine went off line, or he's now moved, targeting videos I don't watch, BUT it could be it was persistent enough for a human on the YT end to be poked by the AI, because some of the worst bots have stopped from what I'm seeing.

I'm not saying it's gospel, it's what I've seen.
