>>64135068>>64134688You idiots completely miss the point. It is utterly irrelevant what percentage of bots Youtube is successful in detecting.
Either youtube identifies an account as a bot, or not.
If it can identify that an account is a bot, it simply culls the bot. There is no reason to touch the channel.
If it cannot identify that an account is a bot, then it counts as a legitimate viewer. There is, therefore, also no reason to touch the channel.
Whoever is running the bot, and for what purpose, is utterly irrelevant. If the channel owner was running the bot, then they have been already been punished by having spent resources for nothing. If it was someone else, they also spent resources for nothing. It all works out. There is no need for punitive action to satisfy some petty sense of vengeance in wanting someone to punish.
