I see a very thin crack in one portion of ceiling, pic attached, what is the easiest way to repair it?

It has to be done the right way or it will come back. I would not do it myself.

Looks almost like a seam that wasn't taped?

I'd agree with the poster above though - call a drywall guy & it'll be done & perfect in just a few minutes.

If it were me, I'd go through the house & nit-pick for defects anywhere / everywhere.

My drywall guy has a $150 minimum charge, but he'll work for a couple hours for that price if you've got other dings & defects to sort out on the same trip.

Call a drywall guy or it will look worse after the repair.
A light skip texture is easier to repair than a knock down or orange peel sprayed on application.
Have an experienced person do it or you will see it every time you walk by

I had a bunch of those all over my house about five years after it was built. Hired a drywall guy and he came over and taped them all up, retextured the area and repainted. None of them came back and all look great now.
