Hello KnowYourMeme gamers,
I'm writing a research paper for college and need some help. I'm looking into what compels viewers and commenters to necromance ages-old comment threads with their "hot take" long past any of the original commenters have cared about the conversation and thus artificially force them onto the trending tab. Does anyone have any theories as to why this happens, or at least any good sources I can use to start my research? I'll pay you in exposure, I have a KnowYourMeme account with three (count 'em, three) followers so I'm kind of internet famous.
