These videos must be really, really bad if they have to answer questions here to try to catch folks who are unaware.
Noticed that most of them come from one, or two websites.
Those folks are pathetic.

ADD2- LMAO I see they answered this question!!! I would definitely give it best answer!
Considerations When Buying Dog Training Equipment
- Oh, I didn't know it was dog videos, I just see links to questionable sites probably designed to get you to enter personal information (I don't even bother to click the links).
These are spammers, just whoever is orchestrating them has written them a few paragraphs to paste in front of the links to make them appear more "authentic" and to more easily evade being deleted by a single reputable report.
Yahoo needs to update their spam detectors, it's getting ridiculous!
Yes, I had a question, that got 3 legit answers, and over 15 spam answers!!!!! Most of them were late, which is what is odd, too. - Uhave2 - they usually answer late.
I remember checking back on a question I had answered and saw there was 6 new answers. All of them were this link. Will see if I can find an example.
Yes, I am very tired. Most of the time their little copy and paste spiel doesn't even apply to the question.

Here is one

I always wonder, does anyone really fall for it. Seems like a whole lot of work for something so few would bother to check out.

My favorite one is when someone asks a question about a certain kennel that trains protection dogs, there are numerous accounts that sing the praises. Its odd because no other protection dog question gets that many answer. When you look at the accounts, some are brand new, others are older, but seem to only answer questions in regards to this one kennel. - Ah, so it's videos. I never clicked on the links, they looked suspicious to me.
And yes, it is incredibly annoying. Half a dozen copy-paste similar answers from "different" users to the same question and quite obviously from a spammer. - Yep...I report them when I see them, and they usually disappear very quickly (probably because other people are also reporting, reporting, reporting.) :o)
Im sure people are being paid to create new accounts and post the "answers".
I figure getting them removed is the best thing, because they will quit after a while if they get no business from their efforts. - Yeah, sometimes there's seven of those posted per question.
Seriously, if they were any good or legit would they have to advertise in this fashion?
Reminds me of the Kimkins diet scam. They spammed nearly every post in the diet section.
REPORT. REPORT. REPORT. - Annoying, and Alesi's right - report, report, report.
Also, don't ever answer the idiot, just encourages them to keep up the spamming, which is what it is. - The dog videos you have to look at the source to see the link to UHave2Be. They come in 3s, one right after another. Report, report & report
- Yes, sadly people don't prepare themselves before they get a dog not knowing how much work and responsibility they are. So it doesn't surprise me they are so desperate but of course it's annoying!
- I've only seen the eBay and Nike spammers, no dog training spammers.
- Yes, to say nothing of the Niki shoes, and the Dell computers. Why do these people bother!!
How do they think up all these different names!!?
