Why all the youtube spam?

Why are people so tryhard to shamelessly spam ads for their own stuff on youtube? I get some ridiculous comments...
One account called Sabotage has been spamming comments on my videos for months trying to promote their own music, every comment gets auto removed as spam but they keep doing it
I am starting to feel bad for them but with how shameless they spam I don't feel like allowing any of their comments to promote them...
Another common one are accounts posting generic "wow great video, if you need free music come check out our channel I think it would really improve your videos"...
But I have had some really random shit too, like a link to some 18+ "bad girls" site or a link to someones home made jewelry page... I almost let that one slide but when it's completely random I don't think it belongs on my videos which are all just music, so I don't need ads or spam. I do allow funny conspiracy comments sometimes though.
Had a no context link to someones bandcamp posted recently, when it's out of nowhere I don't even feel like checking them out myself though let alone approving the comment.
Anyways what the hell is up with this? Is youtube just so popular it gets spammed by bots and shameless self promoters?
Seems like a waste of time considering most comments just get auto blocked...

It's just how shit works.
Advertising is really about the only way to get traffic.

They are all likely just bots, automated programs that make generic postings for ads.

Bots advertising I get but it seems pointless when 99% of comments get blocked by youtube bots now
There have definitely been some people self promoting I am pretty much positive based on their comments and the sites they are promoting. Usually in these cases it's just a single comment and then no more where as the bots will keep spamming similar stuff for months I have like 10-20 comments along the same lines but slightly different from Sabotage promoting their band "Sabotage of Epic Distortion"

It's not like all videos need a description I used to post music with no description as lots is self explanatory but now I try and post song lists and info about the musicians.

For music I agree. For other things you may need to use an element of surprise.

Censorship rules, right?
But only when it's up to you, right?

One thing to keep in mind is some albums have been re uploaded numerous times, so after awhile people might stop taking the time to bother with a description.

I appreciate it in this case as it helps me weed out annoying spam posts
I try to allow all the "real" comments from people, even ridiculous ones or stuff I don't agree with
