    Or in the case of YouTube, where there’s just no feedback, and you go back days later and that stupid bot comment is still there getting upvotes

        I meant no feedback when you report something, not that there is not the ability to report something

          I know what you meant, but until recently at the very top you had an option to report for “spam / unwanted advertisement” (or something along those words). Now you can’t really report those bots in the first place, because there’s no fitting category for it.

            Wonder what the qualifier is to show it to a user

              Interesting. Could be A/B testing, or based on the country. For me it has been gone ever since they changed the design of it a while ago.

                Got it, I’m in the US and a YouTube premium subscriber, so that could be the factor definitely
