I was reading through the comments on the Ukraine videos and I noticed most of them were practically the same "pray for Ukraine", "Slava Ukrani", "This is what a true leader looks like", "Zelensky is a brave man", "Zelensky is making history/Zelensky is in the history books" in very slight variations. It reminded me of the Twitter bots, so I looked at how long these accounts have been active and most were 9 years. Statistically highly improbable. A dozen 9 year old accounts, one 8 years old, and three within a year from just the ones I checked.

They made a lot of bot accounts 9 years ago. It makes me wonder if they've been using them every time there is something to promote or they were just sleeping until the video curation started. YouTube didn't have video curation like this 9 years ago. Thoughts?
