First comment
A creator-authored pinned comment that triggers the comment thread.
The first comment is a low-effort lever for boosting comment velocity in the first hour.
It works best when it asks a specific, easy-to-answer question.
Comment velocity in the first hour is a documented input into recommendation velocity.
Why it matters
