A public radio show host, Dave Blanchard, discovered that a group of kids had turned the comments section of his show's Spotify page into a secret group chat, posting seemingly incoherent and gibberish messages that were actually a coded conversation among themselves. The comments, which appeared to be bots or spam, were actually a way for the kids to communicate with each other in a low-traffic online space, using the comments section as a makeshift private messaging forum. The host was initially confused by the strange postings, but eventually realized that they were not automated or malicious, but rather a clever repurposing of the comments section by a group of resourceful kids.
