View attachment 41562 this is really disturbing...see the image I posted it was on the top comments of video with like 17 mil views...he was able to bring that comment to the top just by replying to himself alone... :S
easy piece of cakejust tried with more natural comments and get 7 likes and 8 comments, but still can see only newest comments at the top, not sure if i'm looking at it right. should i clean cookies or something?
this is sh** i have many replies,many likes,many followers on my comment,and the other guy has no likes at all,has no followers and no replies and he is outranking me WTF
i see now,but if this stays then youtube spamming is truly dead because there is no more top comments :/
on some videos newest comments are NOT the same as top comments, on some other videos they are...
on one video I got a comment with 12 thumbs up, and 4 replies (all mine) with just as many thumbs up, still another guy made a post with just the word "excellent", no replies, no thumbs, no nothing, and still he is outranking my thumbed comments and replies... hmmpf.... and his comment is older than mine, not newer...
so... seems comments, thumbs and content doesn't matter on some videos... on some videos it's just chance which comment gets to be on top...
Yep, as of Wednesday this method no longer works. Top comments are no longer top comments, they are just randomly chosen comments from the new ones. If you try ranking your comment now, by the time you even do 10 upvotes (manually) your comment will already be on the 4th page of top comments...
