It is easier since the spammer just has to reply to his own comment 100 times to make it to the top. Once that is fixed (I am sure it will be) it is going to be harder for those people to get top comments unless you have tons of clean IPs as you already mentioned.
Looks like there is about to be a major change coming. As or right now Top Comments and Newest Comments are giving the same results.
Yap , I felt it, and i am can not reply twice in same comment
have anyone tried comment reply from same IP help to be on top comment?
So is it working with different IPDoesn't work anymore YT just updated again.
So is it working with different IP
I still can.
From what I see they are going back to the old most thumbs up gets top comment.
It really pisses me off how some guys were exploiting the new comment system. They're so dumb. Promoting all type of BS all over the place specially on most popular videos. Adults, casino, fake hacks... etc Really?? I was able to get top comments easily and I was doing it all manually, but now thanks to these people YouTube is about to change the game AGAIN... Some people just don't get it....
I have seen something strange too...I am sorry for posting it in two different threads but this is very akward
look at the pic...basically this guy was able to rank his comment in the top by replying to himself with the same account over and over on a video with like 17 mil views...

Newest Comments and Top Comments are the same. They are making changes. What a mess. Like they don't even test their shit.
