“Why is YouTube reccomending this … Years later” they’re washing out all the creative comments on old videos

Im so old i remember when youtube reactions were called comments.
They still are…?
They’re obviously from the future. YouTube just hasn’t changed it yet
Maybe I’m so old that I don’t even know wtf “reactions” are and so this is just flying over my head.
i relate to the born in the wrong generation people only because i wish i could have gone to some of those concerts. my last concert was jeff rosenstock and i had so much fun
You forgot “This song came out when I was in high school”
Followed by a generic story about how they used to drive around the city.
Haha, well you know what they say about $hometown - if you don’t like the weather, wait an hour! Haha!
You sound British. Nttawwt. But your weather is crazypants.
We actually said wait 10 minutes.
Wow, that’s extremely offensive! How dare you steal my hometown’s unique and clever slogan?!

Who’s still commenting in August 2026?
OMG ME
Who is here in 2025…6… every video. Why do people write this shit?
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”
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.
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).
They don’t make music like this anymore… Half a dozen similar bands rocking it on 6Music/KEXP etc rn.
Maybe they don’t make it like that anymore, but AI will surely be used to pump out a bunch of slop just like it.
6music
TIL. Listening now. Thanks!
I always updoot 6music. Well-managed ABC playlist, informed DJs who get to pick their own tracks, plenty of background and relevant conversation (Artist in Residence, Freak Zone, Round Table, etc), and because it’s the BBC there’s no adverts, no fucking obnoxious competitions, and no desperate attempts at listener engagement.
If you ever get a chance to go to the 6 Music Festival; do it.
ill do the fest if someone pays for my flight and hotel 😂
I love when people comment “they don’t make music like this anymore” because they most certainly do, and are probably making more of it than any point in history.
Its just wayyyyyyy harder to find now and folks dont have capacity to search.
Plot twist: the song is Fuck the Pain Away.
“Who’s still listening” SHUT THE FUCK UP
^sorry lol^
And if the artist died recently, the comments about this can bury everything else, on everyone of their song sometimes.
It also means that you find out about their deaths immediately.
This sadly happened twice today for me: Bonnie Tyler and EZFG
The comments can also inform you about … other things about the artist that you just found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnZ6jnJ2zs8
This is how the comment section for the Halo theme song is.
It’s ok to be nostalgic for your childhood.
Any time I see those I assume they are engagement bots.
