I want to preface this with the fact that I initially saw the comment thread on my phone and didn't screenshot it immediately so some information is missing.
But the format is a little like this (Video Collected from - Half As Interesting
Between these two comments was a series of comments each containing 2-3 digits of a signal number
Thankfully those were removed after a minute or two, I have no idea if it was by youtube or the creator. Probably the latter. And if in all situations only the numbers were removed that would neuter this scam pretty efficiently. But I haven't found/looked for other instances of this type of scam.
Anyway, if there was perhaps some kind of persistence of data between subsequent comments in a reply (maybe also looking at the reply timing between them as a start) where you could filter all the text as a whole. Realistically at the moment, the messages are quite obviously a scam, with some keywords that could be locked onto (but it isn't known if the layout would become more advanced) like "investment/trading services" in close proximity to the word "cryptocurrency".
Does anyone else have any ideas?
