but also a sanity check (my own). it could be that i am being targeted... which is a tad bit less concerning.
lately, spamming has increased on YouTube. and i see them in replies to comments. most have a nsfw character to them.
it concerns me because it brought back memories of them taking over Google+. imagine those cooking recipes communities on Google+ filled with nsfw spams. that's how the last days of Google+ were like for me.
spamming is what took down Google+ in my opinion.
have you noticed them on (premium/free) YouTube?
