It's always funny to come across Anduril videos on YouTube and Instagram reels, they're produced as if they're a new product launch for some random Silicon Valley technology (which I suppose they are), yet they're weapons systems. The comments glazing them are even more hilarious.

Something is going on with those comments. Either they’re pruned, staff leaving comments etc. You’re a weapons company posting stuff online and there isn’t a single negative comment? Plus half the replies clumsily force the company name in to the comment, which is a bit of a red flag they’re not natural.

Not really, they're all memey comments, they're more sarcastic in their tone than anything, that's why there's not anything really overtly negative as it'd ruin the meme vibe. You see the same on their reels.

I mean, I've noticed a lack of negativity all across youtube for some time. Not sure if there's some secret filtering that makes it harder to post negative comments, or because there are so many videos and so much algorithm that the stuff people watch and comment on is stuff they wanted to see anyways.
