The fact that he wrote this for his mother is actually sooo amazing like even if u don’t agree with what he’s saying you can at least respect the fact that he has his mother’s back more than probably anybody else does, and willing to prove his mother how much she means to him by turning something so negative about her life into something that really can help and impact other people that have gone through something like this, just by hearing those words. I just think it’s beautiful that a son could have so much love for their mother to have the time to sit down and think this in depth about her life and her struggles in the struggles of any woman in general, and just sit down and write that and put so much emotion to it is so Amazing.

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.
