The practice of duplicating and pasting comments on the YouTube platform refers to the act of replicating an existing comment, either one’s own or another’s, and posting it multiple times across different videos or within the same video’s comment section. For example, a user might copy a promotional message or a simple expression of agreement and paste it repeatedly in an attempt to gain visibility or express a consistent sentiment.
This behavior often stems from a desire to amplify a message or opinion, influence the perceived consensus, or even engage in spam-like activities to drive traffic to external links or channels. Historically, it has been used to either genuinely support a creator or concept or, conversely, to disrupt discussions and promote unrelated content. The implications range from benign repetition to manipulative and potentially harmful attempts to skew perspectives within online communities.
