    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?
