    Step 1: Repeat popular comments for a few months to make the account look vaguely like a real person and thus more credible.
    Step 2: Switch bot to spewing propaganda.

      But would that even work on YouTube? Maybe I have missed something, but can you really tell if an account is “popular” can you even check comment history? Wouldn’t uploading other ppls videos and get subscribers work like you said? And why that name and picture?
