Oh I see the problem. It’s on Youtube.
Youtube is a world-wide technology and the videos can reach an impressively large percentage of the human population. No matter how good the average person is, there will always be some percentage of bad actors, and the larger the audience, the larger number of bad seeds there will be. Additionally, the nature of relevance algorithms and online social networks, amongst other factors, tends to silo like minded people into networks of similar content. And finally, there are a myriad other factors such as engagement metrics, relative anonymity, and plenty of other things that serve to provide encouragement and cover to comment and create content which would otherwise not be acceptable in most circles in person.
This means a video which draws attention of people with nazi tendencies as well as allied groups who are simply attention seeking can end up attracting a higher than normal percentage of those groups, and others from congruent social spaces. So long as there's little to no impactful negative repercussions nor effective moderation of the rules, comment sections can fill with undesirable, despicable, illegal, and/or rule breaking replies.
This sounds like a typical AI slop non-answer.
Why does this video draw Nazis to it?
This sounds like it's coming from someone who cannot differentiate between AI slop and actual real responses. Not surprising in the least, of course.
Well count me in too. It's all fluff and no real answer.
cough cough AI slop cough
from what I can tell it's a song used on Instagram reels and the negative community drifted over from there
Going off QuinnyCoded's comment, I'd speculate the song is used in some antisemitic meme TikTok video or something similar. Kind of like Little Dark Age getting associated with nazi Hyperborea fantasies.
Dude, please don't tell me the Nazis are trying to claim Little Dark Age :( I love that song
Because It's YouTube and it's comments are always full of inbred Nazis.
I don't know (pun intended, i am no coward; I intend my puns), but the juicebox emoji leaves no doubt when it comes to intent.
I've never heard the song before so I was curious if the artist was Jewish or something, but I see no obvious cause why this artist or song in particular would attract that kind of fauna in the comment section. From what I can see she's an Italian artist without much fame outside of this song.
The only connection I could find was her name - Erika - which was the name of a Nazi marching song.
allusic is facist
Swordgeek has already answered in a reply to a reply but it's because Erika is the most popular marching song used by nazi germany... i don't believe it originated in nazi germany, but rather earlier in germany's history, since the melody was also used by finland.
Those commenters will generally be people who were searching for the german march and found that instead. Or it had a shout-out on a RW instageam page for sharing the song title.
