WARNING: Please do not go to these links, they may contain a virus or lead to malicious sites.

I got these bot comments when I posted a video on my YT channel. Upon a bit of research, other people had gotten these bots as well. Please don't click on these links as there may be graphic content or viruses.

Have you set your comments rule to block links from non-approved people?

I have not, but thanks for the tip. This applies for the viewer too, that they shouldn't click on these links

I believe it should. Just like the videos which don’t allow comments. Except this is just for URL and Hashtags.
