Justin Y.

Justin E. Young (born: ), better known online by his first name and last initial, Justin Y. (formerly Jeyoung624), is a YouTube commenter who became notorious for frequently appearing in the comment sections of many videos.
==About==
Justin is known for frequently commenting on other people's videos. He is seen "everywhere" in comment sections across many videos by many creators (especially ones he is subscribed to). He usually comments memes and jokes (specifically on videos related to memes), and sometimes comments on videos talking about him.
Users have questioned how Justin's comments become so popular, and many theories have risen of him using like-bots. However, it may be a coincidence that most of his comments appear on the top comments. It's also likely due to his fame that people end up noticing his comments and liking them. YouTubers also sometimes pin Justin, leading his comment to becoming the top instantly. 
His comments aren't always on the top as he sometimes adds comments that only get 60 likes. He confirmed all of this on one of his posts on his subreddit.Reddit: "Before you post about likebots, read this." 17 May 2018
==History==

Justin started to appear in the comments section of many videos on many channels often, and he began to gain notoriety for his commenting habits in late 2017. A subreddit centered around him was created in December 2017.
Justin continued his hobby into 2018. His YouTube channel has gained a massive amount of subscribers throughout these years, and as of December 2022, he has amassed nearly 800,000 subscribers without uploading a single video.
