what is the purpose?

I don't think they are bought by the channel because they flood EVERY trending video.

why do they exist?

if i had to guess, probably done by youtube themselves to appeal to shareholders

>why do they exist?
They are looking for real people to respond to them so they can data mine actually used google/youtube acconuts. It goes for a much higher price to sell potential or verified active accounts for advertising, scam calls, and so on.

How new are you

wtf no. if they wanted people to respond they would say something that would trigger responses like "this video sucks" not something braindead that you would easily pass over like "the editing is top tier"

sometimes "bots" may just be jeets

>>105929129
I don't think you realize how retarded people are anon. You should watch some of those shitty court room recording channels, boomers will talk to anyone if they are lonely

The other reason they comment with "hekkin nice video" is so they can go back an edit after basic automod/author looked it over. Then edit the reply for a scam link or some BS with 1000 botted updoots and be #1 before the content creator knows about it.

Possibly a way to get around the anti-spam methods that YouTube has to have nowadays? I user looks more real if they send generically pleasant comments on 100 random videos, then starts with the crypto scam stuff later?

The purpose is to cast a wide net and occasionally catch some massive sucker.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how we always makes such good content for us guise

Platforms require from users do have some interactions before they can do things like updoot.

It's less obvious in youtube, because it works completely with shadowbans. Just because you updooted something, doesn't mean that it counted, just because you watched something, doesn't mean it counts as a view, just because you entered something in the chat, and see it yourself, doesn't mean that others see it as well.
So if they want to sell youtube updoots and views, they have to build reputation on their bots.

This interaction benefits all involved parties, except the user and advertisers
>creator gets more "engagement"
>youtube gets more engagement
>bots get money

not sure what you mean, can you expand a bit on this? boomers as in the guys who post comments on these videos?

>>105929221
>boomers as in the guys who post comments on these videos?
They are the kind of people who respond to bots and will get in conversations yes. Are you like 12?

>>105929227
I just rarely look at youtube comments

>>105929243
>he thinks this is only a thing on youtube
you need to be 18 to post here

>>105929087
It would be less obvious that way. This has the stink of a pajeet botfarm all over it.

>>105929105
what if I made a bot that responds to bots?

>>105929185
what anti-spam? I see bots on every video and also those "UTTP" bots on every top comments replies

>>105929079 (OP)
Many of them have hot women as their profile pictures. Hope that explains it.
