  • I don't think most citizens of the USA care about surveillance. (Source: I am a citizen who doesn't care) Targeted ads don't really bother me. I care more about convenience than privacy and a good portion of people I know feel the same way. I guess it's a cultural thing.

  • I think it's likely a combination of bots made to generate "engagement" and bots trying to establish themselves as actual users so it becomes harder to spot them pushing a scam later. Content creators may pay for bots to comment to help their videos get promoted, or an enterprising individual may make a bot army to comment on a specific video and try to then sell their engagement services when that video does better. YouTube also has an algorithm for banning/shadow banning accounts pushing scams, leaving "normal" comments may make it harder for YouTube's algorithm to spot these people.

  • I think 911 (or whatever the number is where you live) would be fine. But the argument could be made that the emergency number should reserved for active emergencies, in OPs case the victim is already potentially dead.

  • Assuming that franchise is still even open. How long does the US gov hold onto tax returns? The IRS says there's usually no need to keep them after 6 years. The best evidence they could find would probably be a coworker that corroborates the story or a photograph of Harris behind the counter working. The photo seems unlikely, and how many coworkers from 30 years ago do you remember?
