            Great. All those "WhatsApp me" and "you get a prize" thing really irked me a lot. Even non-sponsored indie YouTubers aren't going away from it.

              Good. I've been reporting all those Telegram scammers and the system seemed to be very slow at removing these.

                  FireView, 14 Dec 2022Congratulations! Your comment won an iPhone 17. Message me ... moreThats nice and all but thats in every social media comments section. There are also real people who act like bots. There use to be time when you got like a cookie for your account that will make you a bot also. It's all how you navigate trough it and what comes with experience traveling in this mysterious place called the internet

                    Sam Q, 14 Dec 2022Have you used YouTube this year? Because if you have you�... moreIt very much depends what you watch in youtube and also that you read comments. I dont read comments as some have like 1000 plus so it would take time that i dont have or need to waste on them.

                    I also can understand that this is something that wont happen to you and it be surprising that there are people who visit that site the way

                      Stondec100, 14 Dec 2022Just more censorship. If they don't agree with your vi... moreNo Ur wrong I see a lot of arguement comments on YouTube and they don't ban it or remove it

                      What they do ban is insulting other people and spam

                        People still care about YouTube? Anyone intelligent should be boycotting YouTube and using more free-speech platforms such as BitChute or Odysee.

                                To be honest, I am more concerned of those adds than you get while watching videos. Some of them are 100% scams and yet, they are still being played. Some are pyramidal schemes, others scam you by telling you to download an app with which you can make free money by listening to songs or by playing games on your phone. Those are the things regular people actually fall for and will click on them and install them. THOSE ARE VERY DANGEROUS!
                                As for the article's subject, if you are gullible enough to think that you've won something "from the comments section", I'm sorry to break it to you, but you shouldn't be allowed on the internet without proper supervision. I'm trying to be polite.

                                  Pfft YouTube advertise scams anyways

                                    Just more censorship. If they don't agree with your view, they called it disinformation, hate speech or some other slanderous word.

                                      Still those bots is atrocious. It's like every major YouTube has like 1bot trying to give you free "gifts" for no reason. Don't even know how YouTube will deal with this. Seriously why scam using Telegram anyways? WhatsApp been taken?
