    I only saw one that had videos and one that had a playlist of some videos of a rightwing influencer. I wouldn’t take account age to be a sign of not-bot, both because of compromised accounts as you mentioned and because YouTube botting has been going on for a long time now. It’s 20 years old at this point and video monetization was introduced pretty soon after creation.
