For example, the bots that leave weird comments all over Youtube. I don’t really understand what these are.
Just bear with my stupidity here…
So a person had to create/program these bots, right? Does the person control the bot, or at least follow/keep tabs on the bot to see where it’s going, what it’s doing, etc…or do they kind of lose control over it once it’s created? And my biggest curiosity: what’s the point of it? Does the bot actually serve some kind of purpose?

No they can run automatically in the background. Possibly not even on the creators computer but rather on some remote server.
They could see whats going on but the purpose of bots is spamming faster than a human can even read.
They can’t lose control unless the bot is a virus that infects other computers and uses them to spam.
The point of it can be different. Some bots spread political propaganda, some make money through scam or ads. Some shall disturb a website from functioning, some are just dumb kids messing around.
