    It’s the same bot of the other post!

    This time the bot accidentally copied a popular comment, usually they copy a comment with no likes, then have other bots to send hundreds of likes to make it prominent over the other and have the algorithm show it more often

      I believe they use other bot accounts to actively downvote the original comment while upvoting theirs, so that it is purposefully buried.
