Are they living too far away? Too poor to go there? Bots? Laziness? Are they not interested in military parades despite liking to denounce protesters?

What’s the big reason?

    youtube is one of the wrost offenders for botted comment sections, especially around political posts. maybe 1 in 20 are actually human. and most of those human comments are them remarking on the bot comments.

    illusions are powerful until you know how they work.

      Whenever I look at the comments of a Gamer’s Nexus video, Steve often remarks on the hordes of bots he banned, but when I go to other videos, I usually am unable to tell what’s real and what’s fake. I guess that the commenters that have scantily-clad women as their profile picture probably aren’t real, but are there other signs that I can look out for? Naturally, I don’t attach more than a grain of credibility to YouTube comments, but I just want to really get a feeling of just how botted they are.
