I'm seeing this more often on various Instagram accounts where someone will just put 'First Comment' on some post just so that they can be recognised as having the, err, first comment.

Seems to be seen as some kind of claim to fame.

In future generations the stories told to children of their grandfathers fought in WW2, etc will now be replaced with stories of how their grandfather got the first like/comment on a picture of Dan Bilzerian having a gang bang whilst firing an AK47 into the air.

Pretty sad really.
