Not really. One of the things that annoyed me on Reddit was posting something and getting told to search the subreddit for a similar topic or question that was posted a over six months ago but people here are pretty chill and willing to engage in a conversation instead of just commenting a joke or "This" or at the very least understanding.
Could be people just appreciate having content to engage with.
I quite liked the joke threads, specifically because they were threads and I could close them all in one tap if I wasn't in the mood.
The "This" and "+1" shit can stay away though. There's an upvote button for a reason.
I guess I just never cared for the Reddit style of humor. Especially when I was looking for additional information on a topic.
People there really seen to put a lot of weight in up votes. I wonder how much of that is fishing for karma
I really don’t miss the top level comments with the “edit: wow, thank you so much for all the upvotes!” award speeches appended to the end of them.
I've never seen those on Reddit, more on YouTube.
Not sure what to tell you. It was very frequent.
I think it started to fade a bit before the new reward system was implemented
I habitually downvote any dismissive "just Google it" replies.
I feel like Google's search results have also turned to trash in the last couple years making that an even more annoying statement.
