Spam comments, don't understand the purpose?

[Youtubedude7]

Hey guys, I'm getting a lot of these spam comments on my new channel for the last couple of days. YouTube treats them as regular comments so they are direclty posted, not blocked.

Is anyone else also getting these? Also, what is the purpose of posting these comments, I don't get it?

Are the comments coming in spam or?

The point is to get subscribers on those channels. Those channels post on hundreds if not thousands of channels each day.

They might just be posting these random comments with stuff that people won't flag.

That way they get a bunch of comments all over the place.

Then later come back and edit them to add links to affiliate offers.

Suppose a video is on a video sharing - downloading wap site and you comment on that then your channel and your comment becomes a part of that video sharing site and you get traffic (this is not 100% proven , but probability is high)

Maybe its done in order to "age" the sending account and make it look more legit in google algos eyes? then later the accounts will be used for some malisious stuff. Just a thought.

It can be account auto-boost. They post some comments automatically to increase value of the accounts to make top comments/video in several months.
Their comments/video will be more ranked after that.

Mostly they leave links to get traffic or leave email or phone to contact for business. Just report.
