I have never heard that phrase but I can guess the meaning. Ugh!

I haven't looked at the number of comments but that's quite a bit. Still, something smells here! We'll see if she responds....

Diane, is your comment there? I tried looking but there are so many! Is it possible she removed it? Or did I miss it?

It’s there, buried deep! I posted under another YT account so my main account wouldn’t get blocked. I’m keeping an eye to see if and when it’s removed. I anticipate it will be!

Yes it most likely will be. She removes videos pretty regularly so I'm sure comments are removed too.

Some of those comments are definitely bots because she purchased engagement.

I wonder if she is getting her money’s worth? It’s sad that someone is desperate enough to stoop to buying engagement and subscribers.
