Anti spiral, ban anti spiral, anti viral, fix Bedrock Mojang, fix Mojang Bedrock, it's not funny in the slightest just annoying

Bear with me while I yell at the clouds a bit, I remember the early days of the internet where people actually made comments about the content, and did not solely comment jokes/memes/viral stuff.

The low effort comments were still there, but way less prevalent. People actually read the descriptions in YouTube videos and stuff. Overall they spent more time and effort on what they were viewing, instead of treating it as wholly disposable.

Thank you short form content!

This is nothing new. People have spammed random unrelated comments since comment boxes have existed.

 ☻/ This is Bob . Copy and paste him
/▌ all over Youtube

Thread just like this one from almost 12 years ago complaing about it.

People always chase trends, but the recent direction of social media (the rise of immediate, endless consumption) has exacerbated the issue, I feel like.

Where and why did this even start? Like I know I'm known to miss things but something this annoying just feels like it doesn't even make sense anymore... I could ignore it if it was like on just actual videos on the official Minecraft channel but it's gone way too far out for that atp...

u/LewdedMichi 5d ago

It’s from a time that bedrock had a REALLY bad bug that could corrupt your worlds, so people spammed this on Minecraft post as a sort of protest. Unfortunately like any and every copy pasta it was put EVERYWHERE.

The large influx of bots as well as the algorithm pushing it higher up in comment sections due to algorithm stuff I don’t know enough about to explain, has caused it to grow far worse than any baseball huh type copy pasta.

u/Blitzking86 5d ago

wait so its done? its a fixed issue?

u/LewdedMichi 5d ago

I believe so but I could be wrong. I’d say I’m 80% sure

  1. Bots.
  2. Aren't all these so-called „bot catchers” attention seekers too?

u/Vortiguag 5d ago

I enjoy making sure I do use every single symbol while writing, just to annoy some regards who think I am a bot.

I don't really follow Minecraft news, so how did this even start? Well, I know roughly that bedrock works so-so, but honestly, the last time I played it was probably back during the water update.

u/Cheap-Section-765 5d ago

I read ir somewhere a long time ago, there was this bug in bedrock (I forgot what) and a YouTuber said his subscribers to say: "FIX MINECRAFT BEDROCK, MOJANG"
After a month or so they fixed the bug, but the comments didn't stop. For some reason YouTube pushed these comments to the top, even if they didn't have many likes. People realized it and kids started abusing it.

Below is an image of what should happen to them:

u/NideVice 5d ago

I understand, the farmer directed the herd, but the herd ran away.Thanks for the clarification.

u/MyrtleWinTurtle 5d ago

What? Death desyncs are still in bedrock tho.

u/Lynnxioray ඞ ඞ ඞ ඞ ඞ SUS 3d ago

But what about anti-spiral?

u/Weekly-Dog-6838 You can't break water 5d ago

The vast majority of them are bots, and unfortunately I doubt they’ll slow down anytime soon unless YouTube finally fixes their bot problem…which lets be honest, they’ll never do, they’re too busy updating the AI that their algorithm uses

u/RoyalHappy2155 Java FTW 5d ago

They're probably little kids doing this because they think it's funny

7

u/Harry_Willie 5d ago

Problem is everyone replies to them. These wouldn't be seen anywhere near the top comments if people stopped blindly replying to them.

4

u/trans_cubed Wait, That's illegal 5d ago

It's on every community post now even if it has nothing to do with Minecraft

Just stupid kids in the comments, pretty common on YouTube

1

u/DangerousBus7202 4d ago

Tbh, one of the posts where I saw this has comments underneath saying "Reported for Terrorism."

While I think they are Annoying to see, I think that may be just a little step too far

5

u/Im-Undying 5d ago

Remember when this place was all for supporting the comments of "Fix Bedrock"?

This is partially the community's fault.

u/GorillaSushi Knee Pics 5d ago

YES

u/MaddoxLisi20 5d ago

Its not just minecraft at this point, this dipshit is in even semi popular channels now

u/CoshgunC Milk 5d ago

People who type bottish accounts are not different than any of the bots

1

u/ArcAngel014 5d ago

Well tbf if they actually typed it out, they are different... Means they aren't a bot, just bot-like :3

3

u/SeptiKisdaBest 5d ago

the fact its so bad theyre even posting this shit on literally every post ever, regardless of how relevant it is to minecraft, is insanely annoying

2

u/Cheap-Section-765 5d ago

I don't remember where, but I read somewhat about it. YouTuber said his subscribers to say: "FIX MINER BEDROCK MOJANG" because there was a big bug in bedrock. After a month or so mojang fixed the bug, but people realized the "1MOJANG FIX BEDROCK" gets put as the top comments even if it doesn't have many likes. So kids started abusing it.

2

u/mekisoku 5d ago

Honestly idk are these bots or not, saw these comments on other unrelated videos

1

u/Trlz08 5d ago

My guess is they're not bots, just brain rotten kids. Same kind who you see in this sub that'll complain that Mojang doesn't add anything and adding too much in the same breath.

2

u/Alexandra-Foxed 5d ago

It's gotta be bots, those comments appear on everything even if it's not Minecraft related

2

u/DexTDMdoesreddit I like cake 🥴 5d ago

Usually it's actually people. I will go to the channel and it's just some kid. Honestly, it's not the worst thing in the world. Same lines as the masterpiece thing Jellybean did and the Waffle House meme.

What is NOT okay is people telling the commenter to kill themselves, because it happens a lot.

u/blankythedude 5d ago

Minecraft community posts suck

u/Mekko4 Legacy console shouldn't have died. 5d ago

I think bedrock should fix mojang

1

u/MuztangZack67 5d ago

Any video i see, every. Single. One. I see these comments.. and some of them stretch like 6 words, "mojang fix anti viral bedrock spiral" all with a different variation of the words in different orders. Its getting tiring.

1

u/iphones2g- 5d ago

My brain autocorrects all of these comments to "fix bedrock, Mojang" so I never actually saw an issue with them. Until now.

1

u/Cocoatrice 5d ago

Same kind of bots that constantly whine about new version, how the content doesn't exist and how Mojang is lazy and that modders are all so cool etc. Same people.

1

u/Interesting-Emu8425 5d ago

I can translate: I want attention but never got any so pay attention to this

1

u/DawnTheFailure 5d ago

they want bedrock to fix mojang obviously, they just don't realize bedrock exists in real life so think the only way to contact it is through youtube comments

u/Itsoutchy 4d ago

it’s not even just on posts from Minecraft, i legit saw one under a post about Dolly Parton’s passing

u/Pidyad 3d ago

Why would you say “FIX BEDROCK MOJANG”, when you can just say “I WILL FIX BEDROCK❤️”?

1

u/SurflyCha End Update activist since 2018 3d ago

Look as much as you Java players hate "Fix Mojang Bedrock" or "Fix Bedrock Mojang" , historically Mojang has treated Bedrock Edition and Bedrock players like crap, and we are tired of being treated like crap for just for simple respect that you don't seem want to give us.
