crop

What does crop mean?

A plea in the comments for the creator to repost the video without UI overlays — usually because someone wants a clean screenshot or wallpaper of whoever's on screen.

"Every comment under that Zendaya edit is just 'crop' over and over."

Origin

Started literally — fan-cam viewers wanted clean screenshots without the like button, caption and progress bar blocking the shot, so they'd comment 'crop?' asking for a reupload. It mutated into a meme, with people now spamming 'crop' on videos where there's obviously nothing worth cropping.
