You may be noticing something a bit off going on around YouTube right now, a problem that is only getting bigger every day and getting more sophisticated, more difficult to stop, the longer it remains unresolved. Yes, I am talking about the current epidemic of spam flooding the YouTube comment section. If you’ve read the comments of any popular video that has been recently uploaded, then you’ve definitely come across these in some way, shape, or form. “Finally it’s here!” “Thanks for your support!” “I have a surprise for you!” really any form of enticing language accompanied by strange text and a shortened URL. The account typically impersonates a well-known YouTube channel, boasting the same name and profile picture.
