Why do people always have to type "first comment" on things on facebook, youtube, and other social media sites? Who cares? Why do they care? It's not an achievement.

Some people, generally younger teens, see that they are the first to comment on an account that has many followers/subscribers, and view it as an achievement as they are the first to comment out of all of those people. It is frankly quite a lowly achievement, yes, but younger audiences feel as though they gain something out of this.
Yes, but how is it an achievement at all? There's really no gain out of it.
