This cannot be said for sure because they use automated software

As someone who tries to learn as much as possible with new updates, I'll tell you this: after you make comments that bots seem suspicious, you will get a comment cooldown.
I was able to avoid this cooldown by deleting comments made from under an hour ago. Otherwise it gives time for bots to evaluate your channel and the comments it has recently made.
One thing to keep in mind though is that channels with over 10,000 subscribers are considered special and are less likely to get this cooldown.
YouTube is constantly changing every month or even weeks, so stay safe with this information; they can change this at any time.
Hope this helps.

It's impossible to say for sure. It's robotic automation. It should depend on the situation, not be absolute.
Are you having a problem?
I'm not having any problems, it's just useful to know.
Yes they don't publish anything related to anti spam behavior because of people avoiding TOS. I had something once where my comments were removed because I added the same one too many times, did this because youtube didn't process my comments but at the end they did for all of them and so removed them.
I didn't get banned or anything, but youtube thinks I'm a bot or something. Just trying to learn so i can avoid things like that again

So that's how it is.I'm not having any problems, it's just useful to know.

They'll never find out if you create a real conversation cause it's impossible to differentiate from real stuff.
An exception is when people report and flag content, but that doesn't happen often.
Otherwise, you're working against bots. If you're a human and can't beat a filtering bot, there's no future in this field.
1. Speak about some results in 1st comment.
2. Add replies from other accounts how curious they're about achievements of person from step 1.
3. Person from step 1 now can tell what got them those results.
4. You got to redirect them to channel of person from step 1 or speak about a brand / e-book name they can google. Don't use word "google" or "search" of course. Just use brand name.
Anyways, it's crappy method to get traffic if you can't develop quite complex system that is just battling AI with AI. I wouldn't do this. Too much effort and it's too tightly coupled to their comment system.
Risk and wasted efforts assessment.
An alternative?
Focus on high quality video with fresh content and own music. Don't reupload.

Please, don't make conclusions without first doing research. I'm sure there's a lot of papers written by engineers working at Google and at YouTube.I'm not having any problems, it's just useful to know.

Maybe they're not exactly leaking algorithms, but what they say publicly can get you a lot further than people assume in their minds.

They have some CSR in their business. Otherwise, they wouldn't get where they are. They just cannot act unprofessionally at the level they are. It's the biggest company in the world. There's more stuff on the internet about that company than any other company probably.
What you need to understand is that a business has always had and will have some element of "spam". The problem is lack of classification of "good" and "bad" spam. Good spam is what people on TikTok do - simply create new and fresh, relevant content to the platform. The bad spam is reuploading stuff and mindlessly putting unwanted information that doesn't stir any interest both in algorithms and people's eyes.
By the way, as ironic as it is, an average TikTok person is less of an NPC than a typical person trying to make money on the internet and actually has higher chances of success because they don't work blinded by some "spam idea". They don't have that weird idea of how it's done and simply create fresh stuff. That can be summed up with a phrase "All that glitters is not gold".

the time from search to ban can be mins to months.
