It's crazy how certain people can post a comment in a video with tons of previous comments, then a couple hours later it has 300 likes when it wasn't even that good while better comments get buried and remain likeless.

it's always timing(being early basically).

as long as it's mildly palatable/funny for the masses, it'll get there. Once you ride that initial wave of likes, the default sorting will just continue to bring it up.

I figured being early helps since those are the first ones seen and the top comments are sort of stickied. But what about when the video's older then some new mediocre comment blows up.

I once posted a theory on a channel trying to analyze the lore and got 3k likes. That version of the video got taken down though so my comment doesn't exist anymore. Guess people liked my theory though.

And it definitely wasn't a timing thing. My comment was after the video went viral.

Others don't get to dictate what's normal and what isn't. It's something we decide for ourselves.
