I've noticed this quite a bit too. It's pretty freaky going back into our comments and finding extensive conversations with blatantly inappropriate messages and other inane content. Of course we get different types of spam comments too, with some people scripting requests and even botting the likes on their requests (always posted at exactly the same time, with the same likes, same comment, etc.). I only hope RUclips finds a way to deal with this that doesn't accidentally punish legit users. What a mess.
Community: "Can you please fix the bot problem?" RUclips: "We removed dislikes, you're welcome! :) " It feels like Susan is actively trying to kill the site.
Nah, just turning creators into an ad farm to shill for advertisers. We need this site to be destroyed to make way for a more creator-friendly platform before it inevitably turns into this garbage again

The verified symbol was created with many purposes, one of them being a way to show that the verified user is a real and reliable person, it's funny to see how in the last months it has been doing the opposite.
im not really bot savvy or totally in the know but I looked up this after looking at a chain of cute wholesome animal videos and thd comment section is just ..astounding. They are beautiful uplifting inspiring videos that really uplift my day and help me learn about the world then i go down to where the comments are and its just...half normal appreciative comments like the kind that make sense and the rest of it. somehow this ugly ongoing detailed debate about abuse and how stupid or wrong "this part" of the video is. All animals should be free not "trapped" blah blah and it just spirals more and more indepth and its like..what the hell. i think ill just keep mg eyes on the video so this doesnt ruin my soul and take away my enjoyment of what Im watching Is that what the bots are or is that just people these days? its not all about links but mainly insults, nitpicking and fighting over litetally nothing. Its crazy making and really disheartening -_-
@@vvelvettearssYeah, I see tons of hateful comments on RUclips channels. But I don't know whether they are a joke or an actual insult. I just can't tell these days.. maybe I'm too slow and getting left behind in the dust.
@@TenebresLikesToObserve i heard a wise person say once - if the only person who finds the joke funny is you its not a joke I still hold people accountable if I dont like what they say and let them know it clearly . all of us deserve respect and plenty of times people who want to ne rude will add on "its just a joke" so they can get away with mistreatment. sadly so i doubt you are to blame but where possible its good to try and reach common ground
The bot problem honestly makes it feel like the audience who interact the most with content are being punished for it. Like, people leaving comments obviously want to talk about a video and will very much be staying on & returning to the site to continue doing so. Considering the removal of dislikes it's also the way people can better get an idea of a video and decide if they want to keep watching. I feel like any decently run company would want to make sure those comment sections are not garbage??
Dude the f***ing bots that were trolling after Techoblade and other people’s death were one of the worst things I’ve seen on here. It so sad that RUclips let it happen that much😔
RUclips is fucked anyway, no point trying to fight it. RUclips is a scummy fucking company that literally does nothing to help the people keeping it alive, it's really fell from grace. Susan is useless and I'm convinced she's only here for the money.
I post "finally its here" OR "it has begun/it is beginning/ now is the time" on videos about visible comets or meteors or some 'earth shattering' this-just-in news report as a goof and I'm not a bot. A humanoid, sure but I'm not a bot.
To me, the worst comments of all are those "Can we appreciate how much effort he put into this video for us?" They are like a Hivemind, saying the same thing each video.
Yeah like every comment is a circle jerk and they are totally in love with the channel, like it is the greatest thing they have ever seen, and the euphoric high they are getting from the video is just pure bliss. It is sickening.
This is the exact reason I’ve decided to stop commenting on videos I like, cause then I get bombarded with comments from people spamming that I’m a bot. Honestly RUclips needs to fix this!
there's a few videos out there covering the situation with these suspicious verified channels, and alot of the evidence points to them being hacked channels that previously were actually run by legitimate youtubers (thus being verified and having lots of subscribers) however these hackers took the channels and sold them on some wacky youtube black market. shit is wild
Verified comment bots give a bad reputation to smaller verified youtubers:'( Edit: I meant that all the comments on a verified ytber comment are just "comment bot" nowadays. Even if that person isnt a bot. It's annoying to see it everyday. That's what I mean with bad reputation.
@@Kurimi13 I mean, it's meant to denote that the content creator is the real content creator and not an impersonator. Makes sense for anyone who makes content to get the checkmark, but yeah, bots having it does render it meaningless.
RUclips shouldn't push verified comments up so much. Most verified creators post one sentence comments that don't add shit (no offense). About 8 out of the top 10 comments are verified users on this vid, it's ridiculous.
@nicholas-gurr-420 bro sleeps in his moms basement and secretly has feelings for her but can’t say it so he takes his feelings out supporting other incest loving weirdos on the internet
lol I wouldn't be srprised if they do that. I can't even use certain words or say certain things without getting my comment removed. I'm not talking about me calling sombody a faggot and getting my comment removed, which even then should not be removed, I'm talking about me getting my comment removed because I told someone to shut up or because I disagreed with what was said in the video. seeing all these bots somehow bypass this filtration system kinda makes me jealous ngl
@@toasty9670 how would deleting comments be great. banning these bots is not that hard. lots of youtubers have created scripts that could remove these bots with no effort. youtube just needs to understand its community.
you mentioned that there's no way to combat the comment bots, but i'm fairly certain that's not true? i'm pretty sure linus tech tips made a video covering a programme that you can run to like completely wipe out comment bots, and it even has different levels based on how deep you want to clean your comments
That *is* true, but it's very inefficient for large RUclipsrs and the API limits make it mostly impossible to delete everything! Commenters can use the tool to mass report spam comments but this is something RUclips could easily code a fix for.
Is Linus Tech Tips trans? I got freaked out on one time under a Destiny video because I apparently “misgendered” Linus tech tips (person wasn’t joking btw).
Linus Tech Tips showcased a seemingly pretty solid solution to this issue, better than RUclips's one at least. Worth checking out for any creator with this problem imo. It's some third party algorithm that just finds all the copy & pasted comments, bot names and other bullcrap that it can with variable degrees of acuity, and gives the user some options with what to do with them, from just deleting it all to reporting & blocking them and such.
Sucks that creators would have to do that tho. Also idk how RUclips's guidelines work but with social media sites like Instagram, they don't actually allow this and you can get an action block and forced to change your password. Is this allowed on youtuve or is linus just doing a yolo ?
The fact that RUclips can remove dislikes for no reason and then proceed to take absolutely no action on something like this is astonishing. I really hope they actually do something.
Its only astonishing if you dont understand that youtube works for the advertising money and not for quality social interactions. Bots puffing up comment and view numbers good. Dislikes making people react negatively to advertisements/sponsors bad. Pretty simple stuff. Remember: you are the product not the customer.
We need more content creators to address this issue. Sean and Charles just aren't enough. It's a growing issue that has been going on, and reporting them doesn't do anything. They keep bypassing the comment filters no matter what you try.
Both JerryRigEverything and MKBHD have addressed it on Twitter. Apparently RUclips just tells them to report the comments and/or delete them but come now... why put it on the user to "fix" the problem. just sounds lazy to me
bro i hate the bots that say: "can we all just appreciate the time and effort this guy takes to make us happy" and it be under a 10s video that someone took from twitch with no editing at all
And now RUclips shadowbans completely normal comments without the creator or user knowing about it. I rather see occasional bots than being constantly censored and yt pretending the comment is still there, making people waste their time talking into the void.
i recently watched a video where apparently "only verified people could comment", due to the comment filter i guess. However, majority of the comments on the video was these bots (or spam channels for that matter). It ruins the experience of a video if i should be fair. This should be discussed more often
I'm glad that people are talking about this now, instead of just ignoring it. For a while it seemed like the main response was "since they're trolling we're going to address it by letting them do whatever while we say nothing to not give them the satisfaction", and it felt like not stopping a person that's stabbing you bc you might get stabbed. I actually reported so many bot channels at one point that RUclips gave me an automatic warning that false reports would suspend my account and I just kind of sat there like "Really? I could lose my account for reporting too many bots"
@@Olmeuu That was my point. Reporting individually as we see them isn't working, so creators need to speak out so that RUclips is forced to fix their platform.
It's ironic how RUclips is making content creators guidelines more restrictive to appeal to children, yet the comment section bots are absolutely abhorrent and not child friendly.
@@notthatntg Dude it’s still connected to fcking RUclips all they did was put all the kid videos in one area It’s still RUclips All the kid videos that’s on RUclips that you can’t comment on are just moved to one side of RUclips I’m saying a WHOLE SEPARATE app strictly for kids and nothing but kid videos not RUclips moving videos to a playlist That way we adults can comment and talk shit about the new kid movie that just came out Or share some nostalgia with other people in the comments
The checkmarks that are copying and pasting comments everywhere aren’t bots. They just manipulate the add permissions feature in RUclips Studio to add a bunch of “managers” to comment for them
I used to really enjoy commenting on videos I like, but since around 1 year and when I received my checkmark it just became less and less enjoyable. Because some of the checkmarked channels as you mentioned do shit like that, you will just receive weird comments even if you are an actual person who just wanted to write a comment. RUclips really has to work on this.
I feel so bad for Jack, I don't watch him often, but he really doesn't deserve the hate, especially when it comes to an extremely sensitive subject like his dad's death
I try to avoid commenting a bit more on bigger channels because like you said my notifications are going through the roof whenever I do it has been getting worse in the past year since I loved commenting but nowadays I get accused of stuff like this because of these guys copy pasting comments
What’s also has been a flaw is that when a comment has many replies and you’d want to see the first reply. You’d have to continuously click the “view more comments” or something button, and takes so long to reach the top to correctly follow their discussion.
I remember one "bot" was leaving "Amazing content, have a great day and keep up the good work!" on every damn video, but it wasn't a bot, it was an actual person who just really like congratulating people - it was an experience
I was watching a longplay of a game and one person would leave an identical comment on every video, but they had actual content on their channel, so I took a chance and asked them if they were a bot and they said no they just couldn't think of anything to say.
i can totally relate with them lol I'm not too good at commenting and communicating with others too,, reading this made me have some faith in humanity again
100% This is why Rumble and Odysee are the new RUclipss. I say this as someone who had an account in 2004, lost it in 2012, and then made this one I have now. RUclips is dead.
Bots are shadowbanning many comments, and content creators can't even approve many comments. I have a notification save app on my phone so I it can save those few second notifications and when I click on them I get "this comment is unavailable" message. You may see some of your comments disappear after logging out or going into incognito mode.
Potential fixes: Users are given temp bans from commenting and are manually reviewed if they have hyper repetitious comment histories indicating spam Have regular review of verified channels and a higher standard of verification to confirm they are legitimate and produce original content Generally improve the review system so that reports of spam are actually dealt with RUclips's likely solution: We've removed verification for non-corporate accounts for the mental health of our creators
The sad thing is their solution to combat bots and spam will probably be worse. Something I noticed is that there's way more shadowbanning now to the point where it feels like it's wrongfully suppressing dissent. In some cases it's the channel owner or mods that shadowban people but other times, it's youtube bots and there's clearly something wrong with their bots. Like they obviously have some bots trying to detect offensive comments, harassment/bullying and it doesn't work because AI can't detect sarcasm or understand context well enough.
Yeah ikr, the anti-harassment AI on RUclips is absolutely terrible, it hid my comments from another person when we were just having a friendly discussion about Tsukihime and for some reason actual harassment gets through to the comment sections no problem
@Donquixote So I guess child murder and cannibalism is the lesser evil, is that what you're saying? Look, I'm not saying rape isn't bad, it's fracking terrible. But murder, with cannibalism... there's no world where that is a better option, for everyone involved. To say otherwise is, to be frank, completely idiotic or ignorant to how horrible that action is. If you want to explain otherwise, I'm all ears. Go for it, tell me how rape is worse than, not only murder, but the consumption of the body. btw, this was on a video involving cannibalism, with some muppet saying "At least it was rape" or the like.
@@A--Fan All I'm gonna say is, my comments are getting hidden for much, MUCH less triggerwords than yours, so consider yourself lucky. Technical long comments of mine get hidden for technical terms with double meaning... e.g. what do you do with an .exe file? You exec*** it, and that's it for my comment. You got more triggerwords in there than I got in all of my shadowbanned comments together. The AI acts in mysterious ways
The big problem with all the bots and ways of fixing them being bypassed is due to one amazing thing about programming and coding that is a double edged sword. There are millions of ways to program the same exact action through all kinds of languages, so if one way is banned, or 1000 more ways are banned, the bot hosters will whip up a new code in no time and keep hosting (usually they are rented out to spam certain bots/messages).
That’s not how programming works, but the idea is there. The problem is that security is a cat and mouse game, it never ends. It’s not like you can make a bot in C# and if it gets banned you can rewrite it in Python and it’s fine.
@@cthecheese1620 i think a good way to counter it is to play the cat and mouse game, where you let it fester abit so that they can be easily identified, then ban them, then add a new option in the report description such as bot, it would be sent to a human team which would check them all, or ban all accounts on the platform, and in order to get in, you need to so a test to check whether your not a bot, do this differently and you can kill off bots, im not really a tech guy so i dont know wether it works though
fr, especially the comments that are like “can we appreciate how much effort _____ puts into bringing us videos” probably one of the most annoying bot comments
Also, you can just go to any big music video and see comments by verified channels with massive likes who go something like "It’s *current year*, let’s see how many legends are listening to this masterpiece" or "This song never gets old". They don't mean what they're saying - just searching for people who go to their channel. And I don't know why but there are a lot of bot channels going around with MrBeast Profile Pictures, probably to bring kids to their channels.
i've researched a lot into the verified bots, so lemme give you the full fnaf lore. it was all started by a 15 year old with an depressed, vhs-filtered xxxtentaicon profile picture that got his channel (with 4k subs) deleted because he illegally streamed a logal paul fight (or it was jake paul, i don't care. also, i did not make that villian orgin story up, the kid confirmed it on discord). so he botted all the subs for a channel for himself, and then made other channels like that, and sold them for like $500-$2000. you can recognize these channels by their weird, one word names (for example, "book" "bird" "zoo" "z" "bee" "cheese" "p". pick a random word from the dictionary). some of these bots copy paste the same comments, some copy paste the top comment (the worst imo). either way, since it's a verified channel, their comment is boosted to the top in the comments section. and youtube does nothing about it, and will even let these channels change their names on a whim and re-verify them (you have to reapply to get a checkmark if you change your name, i think, and then youtube reviews it). so i've seen some guy go from "lmao" to like "spike" to "mr. beast" and youtube verifed him each time, even with the fake mr. beast name. it's useless to report them, youtube does ziltch about anything reported. thank you for coming to my ted talk
I personally haven't left a youtube comment in a long time. Everyone discussing this issue made me want to post one though. Its honestly ridiculous. I remember having conversations at one point in the comment sections that I actually enjoyed. Just talking about what the creator was doing or something funny that happened. Now I stay out of the comment section as a whole. I can't listen to a video and laugh along to other viewers commenting because its nothing but spam and bots! This needs to be fixed.
I swear if RUclips's answer to this problem is a "captcha", I quit. Imagine having to "select each image that include stop lights" just to say, "great vid keep it up."
Doesn't sound like a bad idea tbh. 4chan does something similar where you do 1 captcha and you can post comments for like a 10 or so minutes before having to do the captcha again
I can’t wait for another platform to come along and be more beneficial to creators. Platforms like RUclips, Twitter and Facebook treat their users/creators like crap and get away with it because they basically hold a monopoly on their chosen form of social media. We need more competition out there to force these platforms to start LISTENING to their user’s concerns and actually DO SOMETHING about it. It’s a toxic relationship.
I really don't think we'll see another platform compete with RUclips in the same way unless it gets some serious money thrown its way, and can be worthy enough to drag away some big names. But who has that money, and actually cares?
I really want that too, but unfortunately I don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon. A new site would need serious money to come anywhere near RUclips or other platforms.
A big problem alternative platforms have been having is that it doesn’t take long until the toxic people that have been reasonably banned from the major platforms start flooding in, more than the fledgling moderation team can handle. Then the major platforms weaponize that to shame the alts out of business. Not to mention the massive jump in resource usage that startups rarely are prepared for, turning the site into a sluggish nightmare that drives more people out, and once the company can afford the bandwidth and storage and whatnot, it’s likely too late.
I really loved this site bcz you can just watch videos of my favourite creators and not interact with ppl. But ever since they removed the like button i cant stomach it. I hope another website as good as early youtube appears
There is a very much popular platform whose name starts with an O and then there's a dye with no e, and then there's a see I'm not gonna write it because that how much I truly trust this site (it wouldn't surprise me at all if this sort of comment got flagged and the account that wrote it becomes an eternal undesirable with the same perks as the lowering of your soc. credit score in the eastern far lands)
Charlie, thank you very much for addressing this issue. The type of bots I hate most are the ones that say terrible things about Markiplier’s late niece and Jack’s late father. These really need to be dealt with and wiped off the platform as soon as possible.
I agree but why do these dudes make family passings or who passed pbblic? Ig you have to have a reason to take a break but u don't have to say who, coz u know they're gonna bully u
Ill never forget that the official youtube "response" in the comment section of their "why we're disabling youtube dislikes" had more bots replying to it than actual people. It really does speak volumes to the quality of the website imo. Is youtube going to fix it? Nah, doesn't cut into their bottom line. Not like mass disliking corporate garbage videos does.
One thing that is extremely strange and annoying is that if a bot says the exact same thing over and over again, youtube never bats an eye and. But if I did the same thing, my channel would be deleted and people would bully me on social media.
@@ripvanwinkle7689 I think it's mostly western Europe, tho. I'm from Europe, in the EU and for me it is arbitrarily toggled, sometimes inconsistently across platforms.
Boy it sure does suck that RUclips has this really annoying quirk in the comments. Thankfully the loving CEO Susan Wabbajack removed dislikes to spare the feewings of big brands
It feels like Susan is actually trying to kill RUclips in a subtle way. Like “oh I didn’t know that removing the dislike button wouldn’t change anything and would just make people angry”
we can all agree that this channel's consistency is truly legendary what i'm saying is that the content is legendary consistent all the time basically the consistency of the legendary is channel's content essentially consistent content is legendary for this channel fundamentally the legendary channel is truly consistent. and legendary.

@@SixtenD On insta I was going and reporting the pages so that they would be blocked from my page, but there are so many bots I just completely gave up
There's another version of bots that Charlie didn't cover, and it's ironic how my first experience seeing this kind of bot was on his channel a couple videos back. I've also seen it on countless other channels, and they're basically slandering and accusing the creator of doing some really fucked up shit, or sometimes just straight up harassing them. With my first experience, in some wacky text font, there was a spam bot in the replies saying something along the lines of "charlie (something highly illegal) a 9 year old girl -> (a link to a vid). It genuinely made me nauseous and sick to my soul that RUclips hasn't fixed this problem whatsoever, and it's only getting worse by the minute. Update: And now there seems to be bots promoting literal pedophilia. What a fucked up world we live in
I'm glad that you and Jack are talking about this issue on RUclips, I wish RUclips would fix this bot/spam comment problem that is going on for months instead of removing something unnecessary like the dislikes.
Well Thiojoe has made a Programm Wich autodetects and bans these bots But somehow the news of it really doesn't spread at all. (spamming it right now so it actually spreads a little)
I bet if RUclips does decide to fix this... Everyone is going to have to complete a reCAPTCHA test before commenting. They always come up with the worst possible ways to solve problems, just like removing the dislike button.
@@edotensei5022 RUclips will delete the comment section for the public to prevent user harassment but let the creator still be able to see what is said lol
RUclips would probably just remove the comment section as a “solution”. Also, charlie should check up that video about those verified accounts. Tldr for that vid is… legit verified acc, gets hack, gets sold, becomes bot
Thank god this is being discussed. I've seen a ton of channels run by people under 18 (including myself) who have gotten a decent amount of the s*x bots and I'm pretty sure that messaging underage people with those kinds of messages, even with a bot, is downright illegal. Somebody needs to do something about these things.
I don't think you could claim any form of illegal activity if your age is not publicly stated on your page. The bots wouldn't have any way of knowing (not that that's any form of justification, but just saying)

im not really bot savvy or totally in the know but I looked up this after looking at a chain of cute wholesome animal videos and thd comment section is just ..astounding. They are beautiful uplifting inspiring videos that really uplift my day and help me learn about the world

All animals should be free not "trapped" blah blah and it just spirals more and more indepth and its like..what the hell. i think ill just keep mg eyes on the video so this doesnt ruin my soul and take away my enjoyment of what Im watching

The bot problem honestly makes it feel like the audience who interact the most with content are being punished for it. Like, people leaving comments obviously want to talk about a video and will very much be staying on & returning to the site to continue doing so.

That *is* true, but it's very inefficient for large RUclipsrs and the API limits make it mostly impossible to delete everything!
Commenters can use the tool to mass report spam comments but this is something RUclips could easily code a fix for.
of course there are ways to combat these bots. problem is youtube is too obsessed with making money that they don't focus on any other issue but that.
It's almost like dislikes at least helped with this
Man it feels like the number of bots in this video's comment section is ironically substantially worse
Is Linus Tech Tips trans? I got freaked out on one time under a Destiny video because I apparently “misgendered” Linus tech tips (person wasn’t joking btw).
Linus Tech Tips showcased a seemingly pretty solid solution to this issue, better than RUclips's one at least. Worth checking out for any creator with this problem imo. It's some third party algorithm that just finds all the copy & pasted comments, bot names and other bullcrap that it can with variable degrees of acuity, and gives the user some options with what to do with them, from just deleting it all to reporting & blocking them and such.
I had the same shit mutliple times but it was to some kettle getting fire crackers put into it... Was weird
Lmao coincidence to see you here
Sucks that creators would have to do that tho. Also idk how RUclips's guidelines work but with social media sites like Instagram, they don't actually allow this and you can get an action block and forced to change your password. Is this allowed on youtuve or is linus just doing a yolo ?

Something I noticed is that there's way more shadowbanning now to the point where it feels like it's wrongfully suppressing dissent.
In some cases it's the channel owner or mods that shadowban people but other times, it's youtube bots and there's clearly something wrong with their bots. Like they obviously have some bots trying to detect offensive comments, harassment/bullying and it doesn't work because AI can't detect sarcasm or understand context well enough.
I’m sure RUclips will take this as a sign that they need to break the platform more.

@Donquixote So I guess child murder and cannibalism is the lesser evil, is that what you're saying?
Look, I'm not saying rape isn't bad, it's fracking terrible. But murder, with cannibalism... there's no world where that is a better option, for everyone involved. To say otherwise is, to be frank, completely idiotic or ignorant to how horrible that action is.
If you want to explain otherwise, I'm all ears. Go for it, tell me how rape is worse than, not only murder, but the consumption of the body.
btw, this was on a video involving cannibalism, with some muppet saying "At least it was rape" or the like.
@@A--Fan All I'm gonna say is, my comments are getting hidden for much, MUCH less triggerwords than yours, so consider yourself lucky.

You got more triggerwords in there than I got in all of my shadowbanned comments together. The AI acts in mysterious ways
This is why I like smaller creators, they do not get as many bots.
The big problem with all the bots and ways of fixing them being bypassed is due to one amazing thing about programming and coding that is a double edged sword. There are millions of ways to program the same exact action through all kinds of languages, so if one way is banned, or 1000 more ways are banned, the bot hosters will whip up a new code in no time and keep hosting (usually they are rented out to spam certain bots/messages).

Also, you can just go to any big music video and see comments by verified channels with massive likes who go something like "It’s *current year*, let’s see how many legends are listening to this masterpiece" or "This song never gets old". They don't mean what they're saying - just searching for people who go to their channel.
And I don't know why but there are a lot of bot channels going around with MrBeast Profile Pictures, probably to bring kids to their channels.
Say swag
i've researched a lot into the verified bots, so lemme give you the full fnaf lore.
it was all started by a 15 year old with an depressed, vhs-filtered xxxtentaicon profile picture that got his channel (with 4k subs) deleted because he illegally streamed a logal paul fight (or it was jake paul, i don't care. also, i did not make that villian orgin story up, the kid confirmed it on discord). so he botted all the subs for a channel for himself, and then made other channels like that, and sold them for like $500-$2000. you can recognize these channels by their weird, one word names (for example, "book" "bird" "zoo" "z" "bee" "cheese" "p". pick a random word from the dictionary). some of these bots copy paste the same comments, some copy paste the top comment (the worst imo). either way, since it's a verified channel, their comment is boosted to the top in the comments section. and youtube does nothing about it, and will even let these channels change their names on a whim and re-verify them (you have to reapply to get a checkmark if you change your name, i think, and then youtube reviews it). so i've seen some guy go from "lmao" to like "spike" to "mr. beast" and youtube verifed him each time, even with the fake mr. beast name. it's useless to report them, youtube does ziltch about anything reported.

Oh god… that will be their biggest mistake, since the dislike removal.
naaa
I can’t wait for another platform to come along and be more beneficial to creators. Platforms like RUclips, Twitter and Facebook treat their users/creators like crap and get away with it because they basically hold a monopoly on their chosen form of social media. We need more competition out there to force these platforms to start LISTENING to their user’s concerns and actually DO SOMETHING about it. It’s a toxic relationship.
I really don't think we'll see another platform compete with RUclips in the same way unless it gets some serious money thrown its way, and can be worthy enough to drag away some big names. But who has that money, and actually cares?
I really want that too, but unfortunately I don't think it's gonna happen anytime soon. A new site would need serious money to come anywhere near RUclips or other platforms.
A big problem alternative platforms have been having is that it doesn’t take long until the toxic people that have been reasonably banned from the major platforms start flooding in, more than the fledgling moderation team can handle.
Then the major platforms weaponize that to shame the alts out of business.
Not to mention the massive jump in resource usage that startups rarely are prepared for, turning the site into a sluggish nightmare that drives more people out, and once the company can afford the bandwidth and storage and whatnot, it’s likely too late.
I really loved this site bcz you can just watch videos of my favourite creators and not interact with ppl. But ever since they removed the like button i cant stomach it. I hope another website as good as early youtube appears
There is a very much popular platform whose name starts with an O
and then there's a dye with no e,
and then there's a see
I'm not gonna write it because that how much I truly trust this site (it wouldn't surprise me at all if this sort of comment got flagged and the account that wrote it becomes an eternal undesirable with the same perks as the lowering of your soc. credit score in the eastern far lands)
Charlie, thank you very much for addressing this issue.
The type of bots I hate most are the ones that say terrible things about Markiplier’s late niece and Jack’s late father. These really need to be dealt with and wiped off the platform as soon as possible.
This is not the guy from Passionate of the Christ. They lied to me

I agree but why do these dudes make family passings or who passed pbblic? Ig you have to have a reason to take a break but u don't have to say who, coz u know they're gonna bully u
It's the problem 😕 in every social media.
Ill never forget that the official youtube "response" in the comment section of their "why we're disabling youtube dislikes" had more bots replying to it than actual people. It really does speak volumes to the quality of the website imo. Is youtube going to fix it? Nah, doesn't cut into their bottom line. Not like mass disliking corporate garbage videos does.

@@kimchi3335 correct. Specifically heretical xenos or those chaos cultists.
One thing that is extremely strange and annoying is that if a bot says the exact same thing over and over again, youtube never bats an eye and. But if I did the same thing, my channel would be deleted and people would bully me on social media.
Real
We’ve literally entered the “red scare” era of RUclips. NOONE knows if people who compliment vids are genuine or bots posing as real people.

Let's just hope that their "solution" to this problem won't be to force everyone to verify their account via their ID or a credit card

Boy it sure does suck that RUclips has this really annoying quirk in the comments. Thankfully the loving CEO Susan Wabbajack removed dislikes to spare the feewings of big brands
Reading feewings made me laugh so fucking hard.
It feels like Susan is actually trying to kill RUclips in a subtle way. Like “oh I didn’t know that removing the dislike button wouldn’t change anything and would just make people angry”

Seeing how bad this shit is on Instagram as well, I have little hope that this will be resolved. It is so much easier to get through restrictions, than it is to make them.
Yeah, as someone who runs an insta page for a business, bot comments on Insta have gotten REALLY bad
@@DuDe3810 do u go and manually delete some of these inappropriate bot comments?
@@SixtenD On insta I was going and reporting the pages so that they would be blocked from my page, but there are so many bots I just completely gave up
There's another version of bots that Charlie didn't cover, and it's ironic how my first experience seeing this kind of bot was on his channel a couple videos back. I've also seen it on countless other channels, and they're basically slandering and accusing the creator of doing some really fucked up shit, or sometimes just straight up harassing them.
With my first experience, in some wacky text font, there was a spam bot in the replies saying something along the lines of "charlie (something highly illegal) a 9 year old girl -> (a link to a vid). It genuinely made me nauseous and sick to my soul that RUclips hasn't fixed this problem whatsoever, and it's only getting worse by the minute.
Update: And now there seems to be bots promoting literal pedophilia. What a fucked up world we live in
It's pisses me off to no end that someone would even have a bot type that shit out
I took a screenshot of it yesterday to show my friend because I was just so disgusted, like what the actual fuck???
ThioJoe created a free tool to delete all spam instantly. (Sorry for writing here, I want Charlie to see this)
Those aren't as popular I suspect since I haven't seen any of them but that is still fucked up shit
PUTIN IS THE BEST!
7 months later, situation has only gotten worse, no solution in sight, rip my inbox if the bots find this
I love how RUclips was more worried about removing dislikes instead of fixing or even addressing the comment issue.
I'm glad that you and Jack are talking about this issue on RUclips, I wish RUclips would fix this bot/spam comment problem that is going on for months instead of removing something unnecessary like the dislikes.
Well Thiojoe has made a Programm Wich autodetects and bans these bots

(spamming it right now so it actually spreads a little)
@Beast 😈 No one gives a shish,bot trash
@Beast 😈 oh look a bot
@Beast 😈 another Bot, seriously?
@Beast😈 Ah fck nah
It wasn't in RUclips alone, it was everywhere, and I hate it.
I bet if RUclips does decide to fix this... Everyone is going to have to complete a reCAPTCHA test before commenting. They always come up with the worst possible ways to solve problems, just like removing the dislike button.
reCAPTCHA doesn't even work. I learned that the hard way
In truth, RUclips could less of a fuck about the users.
Bruh no dont even say that O.O
@@Ilikeeminleggings how can you learn it the hard way lol
@K fr man needs to explain himself
Nothing makes me more sad than thinking I got a nice comment but it’s just some cringey verified bot channel😔
Cringe child
hehe
Why do you have 1 million subscribers and 3 likes
so true
Ikr verified is kinda eh
Everyone : “RUclips fix your comment section”
RUclips : “How about we delete the entire section from existence”
Sadly that’s such a realistic possibility 😂
@@edotensei5022 RUclips will delete the comment section for the public to prevent user harassment but let the creator still be able to see what is said lol
Aren't you legit one of the prime copy and paste candidates
This style of comments is what I thought the video was going to be about.
That’s honestly what I imagine they’ll do.
Yeah I used to LOVE reading comments to get different perspectives but NOW... it's a HUGE problem on ALL channels!!!!! The bots are annoying asf
POV: You’re searching through the RUclips comment replies looking for a bot.
How did you know.
are you a bot??? i don't even know anymore. who's real and whos not
god damn it how did you know?
@@guccimane8310Honestly same😢
RUclips would probably just remove the comment section as a “solution”. Also, charlie should check up that video about those verified accounts. Tldr for that vid is… legit verified acc, gets hack, gets sold, becomes bot
This is not the guy from Passionate of the Christ. They lied to me
RUclips: We turned off the comment section permanently to solve the problem of overwhelming comment bots.

Oh no. I can actually see this happening.

Thank god this is being discussed. I've seen a ton of channels run by people under 18 (including myself) who have gotten a decent amount of the s*x bots and I'm pretty sure that messaging underage people with those kinds of messages, even with a bot, is downright illegal. Somebody needs to do something about these things.
i've gotten so much replies of those s** bots its sad
I mean you are anonymous on the internet, you should expect such stuff.
Nobody complained about it 12 years ago and we all had a great time back then
@@davidandonov8857 source? "just trust me bro"?
@@davidandonov8857 Probably because its a much bigger issue now lol
I don't think you could claim any form of illegal activity if your age is not publicly stated on your page. The bots wouldn't have any way of knowing (not that that's any form of justification, but just saying)
The most annoying bots I’ve seen:
- annoying copy and paste stuff
- racist or hateful stuff by edgy bots (edit: specifically the stuff about a famous RUclipsrs dead relative)
- phishing
-mY cAnTeNt Iz BetTuR ThEn YeRz!
-stealing other people’s comments
(Edited to add more!)
And all of them are likebotted. Can't even tell which reply is more liked actually

@@FeuerfesteUnterhose facts
They will just find a way to bypass it anyway so it’s more inconvenient for everyone else if anything.
@@Vagrant7z I mean they could, but Google’s recapture is impossible to complete unless you’re a human. So, those spam bots would need to be verified manually.
