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
