I agree. The karma system really pushes group think.
The number of top comments that are just a tired, useless joke... Especially annoying in those posts where someone is asking a serious question, and the actual answer is buried under the karma farm.
This.
This. So much this.
Tell my you're X without telling me you're X
What a strange way to admit you're insert unpopular political axis
While the comment can be funny. It's not funny every time on every post.
God I just got flashbacks to “edit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger!”
"This. So much this" and "take all my upvotes" are the two worst in my opinion. They both literally add nothing to the conversation, they are not funny and they are certainly not original. If you agree with a comment just use the fucking the upvote button.
I feel like the only time “this.” is reasonable is when you add something meaningful after that statement. Whenever I say “this.” under a comment, I don’t just leave it by itself. I add some extra stuff that I think would be useful or important to the conversation, or I expand on the previous commenter’s point. Never say “This.” by itself.
It's one of the more annoying things I hope we don't inherit from reddit for that exact reason. Even worse when the joke isn't even funny.
