He Gets Us...

I realize this basically makes me satan to a lot of redditors so I never talked about it over there, but I HATED the whole cutesy schmoopsy poem shtick a couple of users would do that everyone would upvote to the top of a handful of threads every day. An AI could be churning out that saccharine doggo speak and nobody would ever know the difference, but people go nuts for it.

Power mods, shadow banning, corrupt admins

The state of certain subreddits was abysmal. Damnthatsinteresting, mildlyinteresting and all the others were just the same thing reposted and crossposted.

Mildly interesting was literally just ads. "My Cheerios™ box contained even more Cheerios™ than it was supposed to!"

Snarkiness, snobbery, walking on eggshells, opinion downvotes and in general the unbearable attitude of most redditors.

snark is a very useful tool when dealing with frauds and delusional assholes

I'm just tired of the same old jokes. "Uh oh, his shoes fell off, he must be dead."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Usually, I don't mind the jokes. It's easy enough to ignore them with the rest of the noise.

That said, often something important is posted and all the comments are just dumb jokes - really grinds my gears.

And comment posting bots. Since there's no karma there should be no market value for accounts right? Am I missing something or does that kind of solve the problem? We could still see trolls using Ai to comment randomly

r/Piracy’s megathread was very useful

Crappy mods and the ignorant, egotistical attitude that plagued reddit for years, making it the laughingstock of the internet.
