Terminal Montage still has the best "Screw Bots" video, but this was really solid. Just simple, straight to the point, and informative.

[@ph34rocious]

The other games crushed Levy's soul so much that by the end of the video he had already forgotten his epic 1600 guess.

[@64chess]

He was also basically spot on with the 1100 game. One player was 750 but he can’t control if there’s a mismatch. They both played like 1100s in that game (and one is that rating). So he was like 1.5/5 which isn’t actually terrible

Hey Levy! There's actually an automated filter feature for youtube comments in KZbin Studio. There, you can block any comments that contain certain words (like 'telegram', or stuff like slurs you don't want), and you can also preemptively block any comment that contains a URL. Most of the bots should fall into either of those categories, so it should solve the problem pretty well. Of course, the drawback is that now people can't legitimately use links or the word 'telegram', but I think that's a pretty small price to pay.
