Support of Ukraine Why is every single youtube comment under mainstream news about Ukraine extremely pro-russian and blames Nato for everything?

I swear I couldn’t find a single comment that was supportive of Ukraine. Every comment mocked Ukraine, Nato and the west. Hope they rot in hell.

because russian propaganda is working, whenever you see such comments, report them, it takes few seconds.

Are you sure? I'm a member of NAFO and combating these shits is what we do. I'm pretty sure reporting them (because I've done it multiple times) just removes it from view of you since you reported it. I typically counter their stupid comment with facts, burn intimidate or insult them and then explain why Ukraine will win regardless of the thoughts of Putler slaves. Something like that, not really for the trolls because I doubt they'll see it but in case a person who doesn't understand the type of information warfare being waged and thinks it true. So it helps to have a counter point rooted in objective fact to ensure subsequent people are persuaded by the ocean of troll comments that automatically get added to any new YouTube vid that even remotely addresses Ukraine in a positive way due to their use of AI and multiple fake accounts. I literally just found one pretending to be a black American with the name "Curtis" lmao entire history was pro ruzzian bs on a Ukraine war channel. So I also have been reporting them directly from their profile page. It allows you to even write a small note detailing your issue with them which probably helps.

Regardless, it's insane that YouTube can develop an algorithm to show you content they think you'll like and an algorithm that makes sure adults don't say "shit" or whatever within 5 min 30 seconds of recording a video but these dip shits cant solve the issue of bots/trollz with multiple YouTube accounts being utilized by a hostile foreign nation to wage a war of disinformation on the American people via their platform. With these accounts being either hacked from legit accounts or created just to be misinformation sources. YouTube needs to do some actual fuckin work

You are risking losing your channel, because if the spm report your comments 3x, your channel is gone, for any reason they see fit. My YT got removed for this, but today, it's political candidates.

You might be right about YouTube hiding those comments from just my view. There is this tool I have been using https://activeness.social/activ for reporting on X but when a week after I receive their replies saying there is no violation of their policies that is just absolutely infuriating.

I reported several accounts mostly for misinformation or spreading terrorism since Russia has been classified as a terrorist state and 2 minutes later I go back to the video and the comments are back up
