So after starting using utility I had relatively calm week (after a previous week of intense spam attack),
now today observed funny thing: impersonating scammers self delete their comments.
It seems that they are quite ok that youtube sends email notifications of obvious scammers to viewers. Possibly it was youtube deleting their comments in shadow moderation. But in that case it is strange, that attack was ongoing for almost an hour. Last time spammer was confused and started to change text of comments after noticing deletions of it's previous comments in a span of few minutes.
So either way - either scammers find new ways to continue to scam, or youtube starts to think more about problem increasing rate of shadow moderation (though in fact it's very counterproductive - it turns out it's not possible to have any meaningful chat for new commenters at ThioJoe channel: half or reply comments and all with tech words github, Android etc just silently disappeared).
