2019 January - LispyLeaf, A fortnite Youtuber who's infamous for comment botting has been terminated from youtube

For a while LispyLeaf (who had more than 600k Subs) was known for commenting on lower channels but it became suspicious when he would comment "Nice Vid" on Vbucks scam videos and unlisted videos not even published. This has led to multiple speculations about him Comment botting. It seems its finally confirmed that he was and was terminated for it.
