Does the tool not have duplicate / copy detection option?

It does, I assume mungodude is aware of it and was asking if this particular spam could be caught by the main filters.

I suppose a filter could look for <YT Link> finally it's here that does seem to be a very common message

I might be able to add something, but I've always said when it comes to link spam, it's mainly up to creators to just disable hyperlinks in their comments, it's just a checkbox in settings

A question I've just thought of, then why do we submit spam domains?

Maybe some YouTubers just want to do it at the same time as deleting the other scam comments? (I know it's very counter-intuitive, some users might have their own reasoning to do this.) Also, some users might not know of this setting. (Plus, YouTube might not filter all domains and other "scam" stuff. (Hence, why this application exists in the first place.))

The script also checks for when the domain is listed in a way to not be shown as an actual hyperlink, such as if they add a symbol other than a period between the domain name and extension

As the links above should be caught in the main lists now (https://github.com/ThioJoe/YT-Spam-Lists) this issue can probably be closed, if you have more URLs to submit please do that in the other repo.
