The comment count on videos seems to be off sometimes. Specifically, I've seen multiple instances recently where it's one more than it should be. I assume this bug has been around a while, but since there are so few comments on many of the E3 videos, it's easy to notice. For example, at the time that I am posting this, the video at https://www.giantbomb.com/videos/e3-2021-in-this-house-we-do-not-acknowledge-mario-party-superstars/2300-17041/ clearly has 2 comments, but it says "3 Comments" at the top. Perhaps there's a comment hidden or deleted, but that still shouldn't affect the count displayed.

It's because there's a deleted post. Spambots love to comment on videos.

@chaser324: Thanks for confirming my assumption. That was the explanation that made the most sense.

This is a very minor bug, regardless, but I thought I'd bring it up anyway.
