After Code asked for some YT gems to add to the playlist, I was looking at various videos. And I noticed something relatively new, and that I'm not seeing in other categories of videos that I've been watching lately.
Comments under different names are repeated over and over on U2 videos. Often two comments are combined randomly. The original comments appear to be real, but the bots are grabbing and copying them.
Okay, I know bots exist but I started wondering why I am seeing them on U2 videos, and across different posting accounts, but not elsewhere. Are U2 paying a really bad and shady social media marketing company?
A really obvious example, Sweetest Thing off U2's official channel.
