They’re not just “casually” stealing comments. They steal a random comment from the video, then have a bunch of other bots give it a bunch of thumbs up so that it appears towards the top and accumulates more upvotes than most human comments make. 95% of the time it seems, the real comment has one or two upvotes and is buried so far you have to scroll multiple pages to reach it.

They likely downvote the original comments with their bots to bury it.
I wouldn’t be surprised, but I’m not convinced downvoting comments has any effect on YouTube.
I’ve also seen a comment where other bots argued with themselves in the replies and ended up recommending a scam.
I don’t often invest in a 401k but when I do I use shady services recommended to me by bots.
That’s usually about this Indian (or Pakistani?) guy I think about investments. I’ve even seen that one on Reddit.
