Comment on The unbearable sameness of the modern webparent

Comments

On top of that, only the reiteration of the same trite puns or catchphrases gets upvotes, the rest drowns.

/r/homelab was interesting, now it's just pictures of people's setups

/r/garmin was interesting, now it's screenshots of people's VO2max stats

etc...

Repeat ad nauseam. Everything is bragging or showing off for fake internet points.

The nick mullen rant about the yeti cup subreddit is good for a laugh.

I don't know what is driving it but I think those posters really feel they're part of a community. The give gold, repeat the same tired jokes, and feel better. It's insane to me.

I'm going to let you in on a secret: it isn't a real community. It is Yeti astroturfing. ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
