Using Social Engineering to gain unwarranted self importance on youtube.

Go to a video you like, write the comment, "Press and hold C while liking my comment" and your comment will likely be the top one after awhile.

Why? It's natural curiosity and I found this on a video.

To be completely honest, I fell for it too.

These things are so stupid and annoying, i honestly can't believe people actually fall for it. Examples like the old "this comment is hacked, you can like it 5 times" and all that bullstuffe.

i dont get it.

Its not like getting the top rated comment is a big leap in your youtube career, or something. It doesnt really matter to me.

This but i must admit im kinda glad whenever my comment was top on a music video or famous youtubers video with like millions of views.

I know a lot of people who do it so they can laugh harder at their own top comment for being funny to a tasteless community. Namely Me.

there's a lot of stupid top comments but I've got it like once and it wasn't something stupid I don't think so I guess I was proud of it

[Regulith]

Do people actually remember which videos they made potential thumbs-up-inducing comments on and check to see how many thumbs ups they really have? Seriously? That seems like more work than it's worth

Also, the only reason that works is because you can't change your vote on a comment after making it, something I always thought was strange

I've actually never seen this breed of whorecomment

I've only seen it 2-3 times, the first 2 they were top comments and once it was the newest comment with no likes yet, so i went off my tits at them for being handicaps.
