Research Ninja

When you see a hot girl in a YouTube video and you want to know who she is (obviously for research purposes), you ask that in the comment section. Then a Research Ninja volunteers, do his research, risk his life to stalk her on the internet and get you the information you want.

Person 1: Does anyone know the girl at 05:04? For research purposes of course.
Person 2: Her name is XXXX YYYY
Person 1: Thanks Research Ninja! You saved the day.
