Videos from YouTube shorts promoting explicit content

[Blitz-Cloud]

I saw an increasing trend on the YouTube Shorts community. I the last 2 weeks or so, I saw an increasing number of shorts that promote explicit content on other platforms. Some of the ware stolen account that haven't been active for years and others didnt upload something at all. They are bypassing the comments filters using special characters for some words. Is there any way to report? I love youtube and its my go to for information and for fun but i have some issues with this tho.

I'm not sure how difficult it is in the mobile app (the main consumption point for this media) but in browser, I have the option to report the content

Well, they want to keep letting people use special characters, so... they don't care I guess.
Took a hell long of a time for them to even begin seriously cracking down on scam comment.

Not really surprising. Youtube doesn't really check content. Nor comments. They rely on "reports", but actually don't. First is just bot, like the giveaway scammers. Others are from couple of channels, probably boosted with bots. Posting a lot, which in combo with likes/views will boost the content higher up.
