My guess is it makes spoofing accounts seem more valid, also maybe boosts small time channels by creating (fake) engagement, so the YouTube algorithm picks up content from that channel. My "proof" is that when you see a shorts video with random top 5 family guy compilations (or other such bullshit), their comment section is usually filled with stupid responses like this (or asking what the source of the material is, despite it often being in the title).
