The '10,000 Likes and I'll Do Whatever the First Comment Says' meme captures the high-stakes and often regrettable nature of social media engagement bait. Originating on platforms like Facebook and YouTube, the trend involves a user promising to perform any task—no matter how absurd—if their post reaches a specific like count, provided the instruction comes from the very first commenter. It became a staple of internet culture because the 'first comment' is almost always something chaotic or destructive, such as 'delete your channel' or 'eat a ghost pepper.' The meme is widely used to parody influencers seeking attention or to create fictional scenarios where the consequences of clout-chasing go hilariously wrong.
