Pro tip: sorting comments by oldest on a 40k view TikTok exposed 12 fakes in under a minute
I used to just scan the top comments and get fooled, but flipping to oldest first showed 12 accounts with the exact same "first!!" post and blank profiles, so has anyone else noticed the oldest-first trick catching stuff the default view hides?
12 accounts posting "first" on a 40k view video isn't some big scheme, that's just bored kids and bots doing what they always do. Oldest-first is a decent way to spot spam, sure, but calling it "exposed" makes it sound like you cracked a case when it's just the same junk that's been on every comment section for years. The trick works, but the stakes here are pretty much zero.
