This kind of pandering horseshit from throwaway accounts add no value and should be downvoted on sight. Especially if you bake self-deprecation into it, "uwu I'm... I'm not sure if a-anybody is going to like my comment..."

Just let the good conversation unfold without patronizing meta-commentary. This isn't Reddit.

I observed the same thing happen for YouTube videos in the last couple of years and it drives me crazy. I don't need 20 different comments fishing for likes that try hard to compliment something, and point out how this creator does something that others don't. They're everywhere!

Just an aside, this is my only account which I humorously thought I would name throwaway when I made it 5 years ago. I have repeatedly regretted the choice, even if using a better handle I still probably would have posted this. Also, it is not in my typical wheelhouse of comments, but I was on my 3rd scotch and soda, so it’s came out relatively coherent.
