First post
Writing "first" as the first comment on an online post or video; Hank says it used to bother him until he was first on a video himself and wanted to do it.
Early context: The song recalls community YouTube pastimes, the Five Facts thing and the Google Verb meme, a first comment and Captcha codes, which Hank will miss behind a 'content wall'. — The Day the YouTubes Died 00:01:32
