Yeah, I’m sadly guilty of bringing some of that meme-reply bullshit here, and I’ve decided I’m going to stop. I wish there was like a patch or a pill I could take, like they have for smoking. Maybe just downvotes to meme-replies would suffice for me.
If we could convince devs/ make a fork that would enable to add a “haha funny” reaction instead of general upvote it could split comments into meme comments and helpful comments
Those replies have their place when used infrequently, the repetition is when it gets annoying. Also, with subreddits hitting millions of users, it just becomes a feedback loop when those replies keep getting thousands of upvotes, and other people start parroting it.
Don’t beat yourself up though, a lot of times you just grow out of it.
