"Remove Miner" refers to a character from the game Clash Of Clans

As mentioned by Twitter user @48slime, people are receiving the phrase in the comments section, along with brownie recipes, which is another trending spam.

Looking at some other tweets, the the phrase is annoying for people who expect to see comments related to the videos.

The term originated from an online mobile game by Supercell called Clash Of Clans. The game has a character called the Miner, who has special powers, like being able to jump off walls to reach a target, and go underground to save themselves from weapon attacks.

The Clash of Clans wiki's description for the character reads:

"These sneaky shovelers burrow underground, pass beneath walls, and pop up right next to their targets. While underground, Miners cannot be damaged and will not trigger traps, but will still gain bonuses from Spells."

It was first introduced in 2016, as the 12th elixir troop, which needed a Town Hall Level 10 and Barracks Level 12.

The character is used to deploy the defensive troops of a base or engage the Inferno towers. The towers are among the strongest defensive weapons, making the Miners one of the most notorious characters in the game.

This is why players want it removed or nerfed in the game. Nerf denotes making changes in the statistics of a character or weapon to weaken it.

Looking at the comments being spammed, players want to attract the attention of the game's developers by making it go viral on TikTok.
