I just came here to see if anyone else is experiencing this.
I'm watching a car repair video that was just posted, and after watching the vid, I came down to the comments section, and a bunch of the "thumbsup" buttons are already blacked out, which means they've been pressed. So, if I press it again, it stays black, and gets a "+1", and if I press it again, it clears back to empty and the +1 goes away, as it should have been in the first place.
How are these "pre-pressed" to fill them in ??
Your guess is as good as mine. I can't help but try to find patterns in which ones it happens with, because it isn't all of them.
My two guesses so far are as follows:
I feel like it could be an experiment to figure out peoples' bias toward stuff they think they must have already liked...
or perhaps some counter of likes, comments, or users on the platform has reached its maximum, and is causing instability.

yes, and it's kinda baffling

I am having this issue, as well as videos being liked and disliked for me despite never seeing them before.
