I'm getting captchas about 50% of the time when commenting on youtube. Is anyone else having this problem?

Okay, gotcha. My bot right now doesn't have a working Proxy Setting so I guess that needs to be changed right away so I can comment better.

Do you use proxies? Or straight botting under your IP? I've just been using my IP for the last month but now I'm getting captchas like crazy.

So you're using private proxies and still getting captchas? I was getting them just running the bot straight, with no proxies at all. I just purchased private proxies though, in hopes that this will fix the problem having multiple IPs posting opposed to just one. Any information on this?

Most private proxies will give you the captchas since those proxy networks have been used for spamming.

Even if they're private? I would think this would be based on IP not on the network of IPs. We shall see I guess.

I have NEVER heard of YouTube banning an IP and I have been promoting on youtube for a long time. They can't ban an IP range anyways, too many people use youtube. If they banned an IP range, all of those people would be blocked from youtube. There's no way they would do this.

Okay I think I just figured it out. It is the accounts you're using, not the IP. I was using 450 accounts and then I started getting capthchas so I changed to 300 accounts I haden't used at all and now I'm not getting any captchas.
So I guess the conclusion is that you get captchas based on how many times you use accounts.

Hmmm my older accounts will login but the new ones I haven't used at all won't let me in. Surely they can't IP ban, given that so many people use YouTube...

Yeah, but here's the thing. I haven't even logged into these accounts once. I just bought them and haven't touched them, and they won't let me in. But the ones I have used in the past are letting me in. I was getting tons of captchas earlier today too. Maybe it's just with whatever they're doing. Hopefully as soon as their done with whatever this is, everything will be back to normal. I HOPE TO GOD AT LEAST!
Theres legit people having these problems too, i wouldnt worry about it too much ATM. Youtube is getting tougher and tougher though, definitely going the way of twitter/craigslist in terms of alot more work to bank off, but then again it will drive alot of people away because its not as easy as it used to be.
