I guess it’s dumb to comment like that. Not gonna lie though, it’s wild to make a whole meme and comments dogging on it.
I think, it comes from a general frustration, because the YouTube comment section is practically unusable for actually discussing a video.
Every so often, I watch something and want to see what people are saying about a particular section in the video. Like, maybe I was hoping for some info in the video and expect someone to have posted it in a comment instead.
But then I have to scroll through tons of comments like:
Like, I don't want to hate on people commenting what they like, but it's just frustrating in that situation, because you do have to read every comment, to make sure you're not missing something. You just become acutely aware of every repeated joke and every single comment you had to read, which did not actually say something.
Thats because YouTube changed their algorithm to fix the toxic cesspool it was before.
So now it only shows the most vapid, hollow, flowery drivel anyone says.
I'm not sure the fault really lies with the 12 year old saying "first". I get why its irksome though.
Ah, had not heard that before, but I'm willing to believe it right away.
That just sounds like a very Google thing to do, like how they tweaked the video algorithm, so that longer videos would get more visibility, not long before TikTok took off and they had to introduce a separate category for short-form videos.
