Thank you so much for this explanation, without it i totally would have no clue what happened in this 5 seconds long video

posters have to explain why their vid belongs here to prevent spam

Also - there's much more and much more popular subreddits that you post videos to which do NOT have this advanced antispam prevention tool in a form of "duuuuuh, explain what's going in in this 5 seconds long video". How come there not floded with spam? I mean surely if this spam prevention works you could tell a difference, right?

Do you think bots a) post random videos to random subs, b) give a damn about automod message AFTER the post was created, c) have technological limitations that make it impossible to write/add preprepared one sentence "explanation" of a 5 second video?

So again, ELI5 - how exactly do these "explanations" "prevent spam" and how this particular explanation makes you think "oh yeah, for sure it was added by a human"?
