      Whenever I see it, it seems to be people reaching out to connect with others in the same community enjoying the same nostalgia. Some people are just lonely.

      It’s the same low effort shit comments so people can feel like they’re contributing.

      The same bullshit where in an SNL skit or standup clip half the comments are literal quotes and nothing more, unless it’s followed by 🤣🤣🤣 I’m ded. Or “proof you were here within the first hour”

      My guess is it makes spoofing accounts seem more valid, also maybe boosts small time channels by creating (fake) engagement, so the YouTube algorithm picks up content from that channel. My “proof” is that when you see a shorts video with random top 5 family guy compilations (or other such bullshit), their comment section is usually filled with stupid responses like this (or asking what the source of the material is, despite it often being in the title).
