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

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.

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?
