Not a paid for thing, anyone can do it. As far as I can tell, it was just a feature Ernest (Mr Kbin Sir Guy Creator) programmed without much thought. So it’s just a weird unique thing that Kbin can do.

On Kbin, in addition to up and downvotes, there is the Boost option, as seen in the picture.
If you are looking at these comment threads on Kbin/Mbin, when a comment/post is ‘boosted,’ it is automatically moved up higher in the thread, similarly to if it had been upvoted a lot.
Lemmy does not have Boosts, and so neither do any of the Lemmy clients on desktop/mobile.
Lastly, on Kbin you can look at the ‘Activity’ on a post which lets you see who upvoted, who downvoted, and who Boosted, which is what is shown in the picture.
I’m calling this guy out for being insecure and Boosting his own opinion to the top for visibility, despite the fact that he’s just parroting an already popular opinion in this thread.
Edit: also lol, he unboosted his post at the time of me writing this comment. But the picture captures the original tomfoolery. Also I checked his profile and that guy regularly Boosts his own comments, but I bet he removed a bunch of those by now too.

It is always the innocent things that you do that end up hurting your back. The first time I hurt my back was when I was sitting on a step… tying my effing shoe.
Fortunately it has only happened to me three times in the last 6 years. Every time it happens I feel like I am dying though.

For purely social discussion like casual chat, entertainment discussion, or random musings, I would say it doesn’t make sense.

I’ve never understood the people who get upset over ‘necroing’ a thread, whether it is on an old school forum or something formatted like Reddit.

He just pitched his voice up for the parts that sound like female backing vocals. Lends an extra touch of Nichijou-type humor to the whole thing.
Broadcast order is the true way. Chrono is for people who don’t have an attention span.
If someone enters your personal one meter radius, immediately maintain direct eye contact with them to assert control over your domain. Stare them down. Do not blink. Blinking is a sign of weakness. You must assert dominance over your territory or else (by law) the restaurant will kick you out to make way for its stronger patrons.
