抢沙发 First!

 

For some unknown reason, many people feel like it's an accomplishment¹ to leave the first comment on a video. Thus, you'll find a "First!" comment on nearly every video, especially if you're among the first viewers.

不知什么原因，很多人觉得在视频下面留下第一条评论是一种成就。因此你会发现几乎每一个视频下面都有人评论“第一！”，如果你是头一批点进去的尤其能看到这种评论。

 

Nowadays, YouTube only lets you sort comments by the best first or newest first. So even if anyone cared (which they don't), there's really no way to see who was first. If you somehow stumble² upon a video with zero comments, resist the temptation³ to leave this comment. Add something of value instead.

如今，YouTube只允许你按最新评论或最佳评论排序。所以即使有人想看（没人），也真的没有办法知道谁是第一。如果你无意中发现了一个没有评论的视频，请抵制留下这种评论的诱惑，评论点有价值的东西。

 

抢第一这个习惯在B站也是由来已久，早年间弹幕里会飘过非常多的“第一”。现在弹幕和评论区也会留下许多“xx分钟”、“刚出锅 滚烫”、“烫手”，表示自己看到这个视频的时候，该视频是多久前发出的，好像谁的时间短谁才是真爱粉一样。

 

有厌烦这类弹幕的用户就会抢先留下“下面请欣赏考试倒数名次”这样的弹幕以示回击。

 

这就是座机画质吗？ Was This Filmed on a Potato?

 

You're always sure to find a comment like this on videos of extremely poor quality. Whether it's old and recorded on primitive⁴ hardware⁵, or is instead shaky or out of focus, someone always points it out. If you're actually able to record a video with a potato, please let us know.

你一定会在画质极差的视频里找到这样的评论。要么是老视频，要么是用原始设备拍的，或者是画面摇晃没对准焦，总会有人这么评论。不过如果你真的能用土豆录制视频，请告知我们。

 

B站也不乏许多画质糟糕的视频，多集中于“鬼畜区”。这些年代久远的视频画质堪忧丝毫没有阻挡它们成为鬼畜顶流视频的素材，甚至糟糕的画质本身就是鬼畜揶揄调侃的一部分。

 

有人20xx年还在看这个吗？ Is Anyone Else Watching This in 20xx?

 

Find a popular YouTube video that's been around for years, or a music video of an old song, and you're sure to see this comment. Many others have watched the video this year and will continue to do so for years to come.

搜一个流行多年的YouTube视频或者一首老歌的MV，你肯定会看到这种评论。很多人今年看了这段视频，在今后几年里也会有人看。

 

这一点在中文互联网的视频中也十分常见，“2021年回来留言”、“2019年还在看”在某些值得回味的音乐视频或者其他经典视频中简直是一道景观。

 

看下我的频道！ Check Out My Channel!

 

You'll often see people leave comments on videos asking others to check out their channel. A lot of the time the linked channels aren't anything special. Sometimes these commenters are young kids who say they "don't have a chance" in an attempt to get sympathy. It's difficult to gain a following on YouTube, but you should do so by creating quality content instead of begging for views.

你经常会看到人们在视频上留言要求其他人逛下他们的频道。大多数时候链接的频道没有什么特别的。有时候这些评论者都是小孩儿，说自己“没有流量”，试图获得同情。在YouTube上获得粉丝的确很难，但你应该通过创建高质量的内容来做到这一点，而不是乞求浏览量。
