For context, I was watching The White House YouTube channel during the Obama, Trump, Biden administration.
Every video posted is subjected, instantly, to what I assume are automated comments and, in my opinion, unusual like/dislike ratios. The comments originate from a wide variety of accounts of varying ages, usually with no published video or text, following channels of international brands and small entities so obscure that I wouldn't doubt they were chosen at random. The content is generally support for the current President. "[US Flag Emoji]" features prominently. In my experience, total comment activity dropped off after the last election. It looks like comments are disabled on recent videos.
So, if I had to guess, this site grapples with the removal of the accounts that would normally make those comments, and all of their associated likes and dislikes. It would be interesting to follow up on every comment, checking whether the account was changed or deleted after those comments.
