Why does gratitude fill you with rage?
Cuz their acting like this is simething to be proud of. It’s really not.
Not rage, more disapproval or disgust. And I had to think why it’s so unsettling first, but I think I got it:
Because of the vanity of making it about themselves.
Doesn’t help that most of the time they get so many upvotes exactly because so many people think the same thing. Simplified, someone posts “what is your favorite color”, and they get thousands of upvotes on a comment that says “red”. That’s not about cumguzzler69’s comment writing career.
But no, this is their peaking in highschool moment, gotta make thousands more read some useless fluff text showing they are under the impression everybody thinks they are so great that it warrants an award speech.
That’s why it’s not the same if it’s a long comment where somebody put some real effort into explaining something from their area of expertise, and things like that.
It’s cringey but maybe because I never really took imaginary points and likes seriously.
Reminds me of “thanks for the gold kind stranger!” Ughh.
But at the same time I don’t get pissed or would hate them for it necessarily, I’d just think it’s a little cringe and move on.
Homlander is ready to laser that exact comment 💀
“Thanks for the reward kind stranger!”
Reddit gold was the beginning of the end. I’ve seen the cycle before on older forums
Edit: check out my SoundCloud!
So I had a significant event happen to me recently that made international news. I also run an email service that I’m trying to get off the ground. A few of my friends asked why I didn’t promote my business since I was all over the news. I don’t have a better explanation than I would be disgusted seeing someone do that, so I wouldn’t do it myself.
Replying to yourself is also super tacky. 🤢
It took this comment for me to notice
Lmao I had to correct my initial down vote here because I was like “What a jerk! Why are there so many upvotes for th— ohhh…”
For real, though: why do people hate this?
They’ve seen it more than once.
Being trained on a mainstream internet built on flashing novelty in front of our eyeballs every 0.006 seconds, seeing something said similarly in multiple places begins to fill them with rage.
Lol 🧂
Whenever I like a comment on the internet I’ll go back to it regularly to read it again, seeing these grateful edits always make my day!!
