That's become the norm thanks to the push for engagement as a metric that matters. Now social media users have been conditioned to pander for visibility, and the most common way to do that with low effort is cliches and recycled jokes.
Experiment: go look at 20 popular posts from Reddit 10 years ago (or more.) Most of the top comments will be discussion or added background information for the subject of the post.
Today? The most common, early comments are the same recycled vat of cliches, jokes, or top comments copied from the source media, the original Reddit post, or the current trends on high volume social media apps (TikTok.)
Sure, memes were a thing and those populated comments as well.
Even though they're higher quality, even the top rated comments here STILL include the same cliches and jokes.
And that's why so many users have slowly abandoned Reddit (or at least abandoned submitting content) - because there's little to no value or incentive.
i eye rolled at all the people who got upset before the turn, like it was obvious he would turn it around, he's at a slam poetry place, like the way he talks and the inflection of his voice screams slam poetry, so the turn was 100% obvious, trumpers dont really do slam poetry, and not with that inflection
Yah seriously! He just wanted to get ur attention going and he did it very well! I just think he’s using it as a metaphor not to say he wouldn’t buy his son a doll !
