Yeah, looks like mostly AI generated comments.
1 comments

I thought that at first but the comments don't really have that AI stink to it or the 3rd world scammer reply chain aka (person 1: does anyone know anyone who can help with. my crypto purchase? person 2: hello sir, mrs heather, i have purchased her services on whatsapp and i could not be happier. i made my money back and then some).

Maybe the people replying are quote unquote normies? aka not the younger generation or terminally online twitter users?

edit: i noticed alot of the usernames have 4 numbers at the end. could be bots. or is this just how youtube recommends usernames to people now?

everyone is a bot except you
I think those 4 numbers are the youtube "handles", to allow multiple accounts to have the same name.
Youtube uses a - followed by a few alpha numeric characters
