Reminds me of something I experienced on HN and Reddit, though my case was a far less significant level. There was a Reddit bot a few years ago (aptly named 'trappedinreddit') that would automatically post the previous top comment on reposts. I bet it was Reddit internal bots. That process is an order of magnitude faster on Reddit than control-v.

Are you making an attempt at humor or are you just copying and pasting parts of comments to make your own comment?

Given the context, it's clearly a joke. Pretty clever and funny too, IMO.

Is this some bizarre coincidence?

OP is just trying to be funny but it seems like it confused a lot of people

This is a compelling idea, but I think they wouldn’t be so obvious about it.
