I can never tell if it’s bots or if people are just so unoriginal. I mean I’m not that original myself, but at least I’m self aware.
If you don’t have anything to add you can always just say nothing.
Yea, that’s what I was trying to imply by being “self aware”. Since I realize I have nothing original to add, I just won’t say it.
The amount of comments I half write and then scrap is probably nearly the amount I actually post.
Does this add value or is it just taking up bytes? Am I relatively sure what I am stating is correct? Will this impact the person I am replying to, or the other readers more than not commenting at all?
And those are just first order questions before I even start to get frustrated with language structures or phrasing my thoughts in a way that is accurate.
We are too old for tik too guys it’s official. It’s brainrot
“Anyone watching in current year?”
I saw a top comment on a music video on YouTube with “Anyone watching on specifically today’s date”. Tons of engagement because of course everyone is watching today.
Dude just had a script setup to edit the comment every day, so for years it always asked about today’s date.
That’s funny asf, but to what end? What does the commenter get out of engagement? Are they a sock puppet of the creator trying to drive interactions in the comments?
To me better than “current year anyone?”
I hope that as of 05/14/2025 that you live a happy life 😍
If you’re reading this comment in 2023, I hope you have a lovely day ❤😍😘❤
The years so far have only had 12 months each…

In case the paper calendar on the wall has stopped working, you can always go to a 13 year old YouTube upload and look for this comment.
And all of the top comments are sex bots

Your content keeps me inspired, please keep going!
Missing the bot comments that don’t reference anything specific in the original post. Sometimes they reference the title, but not the content.
“Biden’s economy”
Me responding “yes” when two options are presented
yes
Who? The Narn or the Centauri?
Yes
I think the issue stemmed from Stream Comments whose fast paced nature causes a situation where you’re more likely to feel ignored for a thoughtful contribution but feel like part of the monkey pack if you howl the same stuff everybody else is howling.
On YouTube I’m seeing
Steve ✓ (2 hrs ago): Can’t believe that happened. Has anyone tried Elons bullshit? (20k likes.)
(Then a bunch of replies praising Elons AI.)
Bob (5 hrs ago): Can’t believe that happened. (10 likes.)
(Reply pointing out a Bob had his comment copied by a bot)
“TREE(3)” likes got me.
“TREE(3)” 💀💀

For extra accuracy you should have made it a repost with tons of engagements of an original post by a different users with barely any engagements

Imagine believing punchline.
10% of comments are legitimately funny or well thought out and add something to your experience
Unfortunately, you have to wade through the other 90% to get to them
