Why do people comment "Who else is listening in 2023?" on youtube... and why do people upvote that? (lemmy.ml)

It's an asynchronous way to feel the social bond of listening to a song together.

Oh, man, what a relic! I remember those good old days. Does anybody else from 2024-08-01T16:52:08Z remember where they were back then?

Also as a way to gauge new engagement on old content.

You’ll often see the current year comment on a years old track…and the upvotes/replies are an indicator that it’s still “good” or otherwise is popular again, despite its age and lack of other recent comments.
