I've been noticing a very specific new pattern on YouTube lately: commenters under urban planning videos that talk about the Netherlands, saying that such-and-such is actually hated by Dutch people, or considered a mistake, or a waste of tax money, or whatever... only to be immediately contradicted by a bunch of other Dutch folks and then the original commenter either starts arguing some fallacious bullshit or just disappears.

Now it's not like Dutch people can't be making bullshit claims, but I find it suspicious how this is suddenly starting to happen across *multiple* urban planning channels, and none of the suspicious commenters seem to have any of the linguistic tells of a natively-Dutch English speaker.

(Some of the channels affected aren't even really urban planning channels, just channels that happen to have done one video about urban planning)
