First off, all these comments are from people or are they bots?  I notice even on twitter when it comes to politics, you see these accounts post comments where it sounds like a bot... then you see other users who post the same exact thing.

I think it is possible that they are from a bot or if they are from people, I am sure, this message came from a group of people that are conspiring to entice readers in joining them.  I have seen this kind of strategy on Facebook and youtube.  They have templates of what they need to say with pictures and contact numbers.   I bet this group of people is a member of a Ponzi company and wanted to recruit unsuspecting investors.

I assume the scam here is you then contact that persons whatsapp or phone or telegram, then they ask you for money... then you get scammed?

Or they will invite you to invest in a ponzi company promising a great returns.

they are not scam but probably a supporter both stocks and bitcoin have their own advantages and disadvantages probably those comments were combined of shill accounts that wanted to have a lot of comments and probably real supporter of bitcoins.

If you are pertaining to content creators that promote or talk about Bitcoin on their YouTube videos, they are promoting some websites and things that they are told to do but its still our choice to follow or do what they are talking about. Its true that they are true supporters of Bitcoin since they really created content regarding Cryptocurrencies and sharing their knowledge is good since it would be an important information to new users within the Cryptocurrency Industry.

The number of videos YouTube has taken down that were tied to scams has dropped dramatically this year. A YouTube spokesperson attributed that decline to factors that include its evolving enforcement practices. According to YouTube's enforcement page, the site has been relying more heavily on technology to police its platform this year, in part because of staffing issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
