Annoying as hell! I have someone commenting that I should go and subscribe to her instagram, which now I know it´s about, since she won´t reply to my responses, and commenting the same comment on other videos of mine!

They're a terrible annoyance, but easy to deal with. You can set your filters to filter out any links (you can always set something to "not spam" if it's a true comment in the "possible spam" folder) which can cut down a lot on the annoyance, though.

huge annoyance.

However there is a workaround if you go to your blacklisted words and you type all you can think of like 'https ://' or 'www .' etc you can actually auto flag them you will have to accept them as a normal comment before they will show up.

Bot comments are always very annoying. I just tend to delete them as they come. They're not the kind of comments one would want anyways.

Definitely gotta take @DigiBox's advice though. =]

Bot comments are really annoying, YouTube usually puts them in the spam section for so I don't have to worry about it! I also find it disrespectful towards the content creator that created that video, it takes a lot of time and effort making videos and someday just goes to your channel and starts spamming you is incredibly rude.
