• My father loved this meme. My favorite memory is of reading this meme with him sitting on the couch with the family puppy. He died tragically ten years ago, hit by a runaway dildo delivery truck while taking our puppy to the vet to have puppy aids treatment. I cry every time I see this meme.

    You’re missing the pinned “Omg, this is crazy, but I just got a $750 gift card from the code in the description! 💕💕”

      I saw a top comment on a music video on YouTube with “Anyone watching on specifically today’s date”. Tons of engagement because of course everyone is watching today.

      Dude just had a script setup to edit the comment every day, so for years it always asked about today’s date.

        That’s funny asf, but to what end? What does the commenter get out of engagement? Are they a sock puppet of the creator trying to drive interactions in the comments?

      In case the paper calendar on the wall has stopped working, you can always go to a 13 year old YouTube upload and look for this comment.

    “no one:
    absolutely no one:
    not a single soul:
    character: punchline”

    going back to 2018-era youtube comment sections is painful

        maybe it’s just that I hang around good parts of the internet now, but i saw that “no one:” format so much more back then

        i still see it sometimes now, but around 2018 it was everywhere

    I can never tell if it’s bots or if people are just so unoriginal. I mean I’m not that original myself, but at least I’m self aware.

        Yea, that’s what I was trying to imply by being “self aware”. Since I realize I have nothing original to add, I just won’t say it.

          The amount of comments I half write and then scrap is probably nearly the amount I actually post.

          Does this add value or is it just taking up bytes? Am I relatively sure what I am stating is correct? Will this impact the person I am replying to, or the other readers more than not commenting at all?

          And those are just first order questions before I even start to get frustrated with language structures or phrasing my thoughts in a way that is accurate.

            I am the same way, if I write something, I try to make it a complete, and informative statement.

            IMO this trend started with Twitter 10+ years ago, where short messages were equivalent of shouting into the crowd, and more frequent shouts got more retweets. Then there was the trend of “first” comments, glad that is mostly gone.

    That doesn’t bother me, and as someone who occasionally makes comics I always appreciate positive feedback like that.

    So much worse is:

    OP: “This [noun] is [adjective].”

    Commenter 1: “This [noun] is [worse adjective]. FTFY.”

    Commenter 2: “[Noun] isn’t [adjective]… BECAUSE IT’S AN INSULT TO [ADJECTIVE] THINGS EVERYWHERE! I am so clever! You thought I was defending [noun], but I pulled an Uno Reverse, which is also a clever thing to say!”

    At dinner that night I imagine commenter 2 tells his mom all about how he’s so funny on reddit. She doesn’t really listen.

    I think the issue stemmed from Stream Comments whose fast paced nature causes a situation where you’re more likely to feel ignored for a thoughtful contribution but feel like part of the monkey pack if you howl the same stuff everybody else is howling.

    Missing the bot comments that don’t reference anything specific in the original post. Sometimes they reference the title, but not the content.
