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.

I guess I just never cared for the Reddit style of humor. Especially when I was looking for additional information on a topic.

The "This" and "+1" shit can stay away though. There's an upvote button for a reason.

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.
