    Hell, I really hope it’s scraping the comments too.

    With what an absolute fucking trash fire YouTube comments are at the moment and Google being suspiciously silent about it, I’m sure that won’t cause any issues at all.

        Really? Most I’m seeing lately is obvious bot spam with content that’s not only blatantly against the rules but outright disgusting.

        CW: mentions of animal abuse, violence, and racial slurs

        youtube comments

        And that’s not even the worst ones. I’ve seen some which mention and promote CSAM. Reporting these seemingly does nothing.

        I’ve found it varies extremely. Community/channel/field seems to make a big difference in the usual kind you’ll see, but there appear to be platform problems ito blocking some stuff from being posted/caught, too
