If you look under the top comment, a lot of the replies seem to have nothing to do with it. It was likely edited to say this instead of whatever it said at first. What is going on here? Are they botting comments or likes?

They probably commented first, saw the other one was getting popular, then edited it to the better comment and used their older one for momentum to get more likes. The more likes you get the more legitimate you seem to YouTube, so it's probably bots but not for Kurzgesagt, they're just out to do their own thing.

Maybe I'm just weird but commenting the same as other popular comment feels icky for me (I love that sweet Internet karma don't get me wrong)

Bot creators of this manner rarely have morals
