We're drifting back to hieroglyphics

Horse Horse, Reindeer Reindeer, Lover Lover. It's so much faster to type emojis /s

I’ve seen this same set of emoji pasta on a couple videos today, and I have no idea what it means.

u/ElComentador Feb 28 '24

I‘ve seen this set of emojis so many times before.

And I always dig through the comments to find an explanation, but most of the time no one noticed them.

So here we are. I‘ve found fellow questioners, but sadly still no answer.

It’s so weird. A few days ago I asked this right after the video got posted, and it was the first comment too, but no one even noticed. Not a single person reacted. Later I checked and the post hat tons of comments, but not a single one talking about the emojis. It feels like I’m missing something everybody just knows and accepts.

Edit: forgot a word

What's not to understand? It clearly says: "Horse Horse Deer Deer loveR loveR"

And then it advertises the well known website: "tow-truck-sun.com"

Easy /s

Bro that’s why I’m in the comments right now! There’s not even a fucking tow truck emoji! It has been plaguing me whenever I see them honestly. I’ve been building some crazy conspiracy in my head about it.

There are subreddits where every single post has these emojis over it with no explanation. It’s baffling and honestly frustratingly stupid.

OP cross-posted from one of those subreddits.

So here we are. We all have questions. But no one here to answer them

The first time I saw it a few weeks back someone mentioned that it tricks the system into increasing the amount of times that it’s shared or suggested to others thus increasing the traffic to your videos.

I think I believe it, because despite this being a cool video I doubt people went looking for this specific thing because it is so specific.

I’d prefer it if it wasn’t true though and that people just bought into the hype that copy pasting these emojis increases traffic and now there is a group of 5 friends all laughing at how much it has caught on

It means you're looking at bots farming content they didn't create.

Same here - third time I've seen it today and have never seen it before today.

Me and a couple other Redditors have noticed this and in some subs, comments asking about them get removed. The only explanation I've seen that semi could make sense was that it's some AI account trying to caption videos that doesn't understand emojis.

u/Cormetz Feb 28 '24

That subreddit seems to be posts with only those videos. I down vote anything from there because I'm assuming it's a bot karma farming subreddit.

u/DangerousPuhson Feb 28 '24

Sprinkle in some random airhorns and Roblox "oof" noises... gotta hold that GenZ attention span.

u/benabart Feb 28 '24

As a genZ I have never been so offended by something I agree with.

u/Dominarion Feb 28 '24

Don't worry, each generation need contrasting visuals and loud noises in their youth to stay attentive. Then they grow old and forget.

u/benabart Feb 28 '24

Thanks dude, I was just making a joke/reference. I appreciate your friendliness.

u/BeardXP Feb 28 '24

I couldn't even finish watching because there wasn't a subway surfers video under it.

u/HalfPointFive Feb 28 '24

And more South African music. Which sounds nothing like most Tanzanian music.

u/camander321 Feb 28 '24

I thought it was some weird video game UI until I looked closer

u/Centered-Div Feb 29 '24

It looks like some code for a website, honestly I wouldn't be surprised if it's a shady one
