For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.
Whenever every ‘What’s the worst show you’ve seen?’ is asked, you’ll get 10,000 “Kardashians” answers, which is just easy karma farming.
If someone posts in a community that’s geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.
You can always collapse the shitty joke threads, over and over, because they never end on reddit.
No, it’s not just that. That was just an extreme example.
It’s more the fact evweryone seems to be training to be a stand up comedian with the lowest form of wit known to man - the pun.
Cute cat falls over - “Floof floofed”.
Horse bites person - “That animal ain’t horsing around”
Can we just have normal comments without everyone trying so fuckign hard to be funny? The only purpose of those try-hards is they want karma.
Notice the puns don’t seem to be a thing on Lemmy? Cos karma isn’t a thing!
I was a 16yr ‘veteran’ on Reddit. I know how the site worked and works. I can collapse comments fine and was perfectly able and knew I’d have to skip past the top 3-4 comments of a post.
The only sin bigger than the puns is the poor variety of people commenting on the ways they “spit out their coffee” at how FUNNEH said pun was. It gets tiresome. Really, really fuckign tiresome.
If you knew someone in real life who made the same jokes every 5mins, every single day - you’d probably cut them out of your life because you found them dull to be around.
That’s how Reddit felt.
