Does Youtube ‘seed’ your comment with fake like to drive engagement ?

I have been noticing this for a long time that my comments on youtube video always get a single like. Since you can’t see who liked, you don’t know if its fake or real. I don’t really care about someone agreeing with my viewpoint but the techie in me is very curious if this is fake 👍🏻 by youtube algo to get me back on the site ? If yes, smart move and also pretty shady 😝 Anyone else noticed this ?

its probably bot accounts trying to look normal so it's harder to flag them when they spam scam comments

I stopped commenting on YouTube years ago once they tied my YouTube identity to my gmail identity. Stupidest decision by Google, ever.
