Can we please stop with the constant stupid joke comments on every single subreddit? Ffs Reddit is insufferable

You can’t even hold a real conversation or come to read insightful comments anymore. Just trite jokes and shitty puns.

1) Why is your comment being downvoted?! 2) I was going to ask - Should we clean dry hands, or latex-free gloves?

“If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything at all” My parents used to tell me that. It’s an important thing to learn. It should be the motto of Reddit. Almost every post I read the comments for are as you said, insufferable. It’s 60% blithering idiots, and 20% just regular idiots. Why comment if you know nothing about the subject and have nothing of value to add? Why make a joke that has no substance that only other idiots would find funny? I mean one or two well placed clever comments add to things, it’s the spice of life. I am nothing if not sarcastic often. It’s just an insufferable amount of mind numbing idiocy in most comment sections I see lately though. I guess if you’re a total idiot saying something idiotic you don’t realize it though. You probably think it’s worthwhile. Maybe a basic IQ test to gain membership? I mean I’m far from the sharpest tool but I isn’t totally dull either. Standard could use to be brought up a bit round these parts, you’re correct there.

No one is forcing anyone to read dumb comments or jokes. Like many have said the real gold is often in the comments. However I do feel that anything said with unnecessary malice is the real problem and it makes me sad when people are mean for no reason.

This site has gone so far downhill. Something like this used to generate really insightful responses, but Reddit is just a sea of garbage now…

u/cup_1337 Oct 06 '23

Exactly. Even my niche subs about medicine have been ruined by teenagers just wanting to see gory photos. It’s just all lame jokes and no case studies.

It's so annoying, I acutally tried to learn more about older dollar bill in another sub and I had to scroll through hundreds of stupid jokes to to find anything serious related to the post.

u/cup_1337 Oct 06 '23

I think it’s because the age bracket for Reddit has lowered dramatically.

u/AvgEverydayNormalGuy Oct 06 '23

Idk really but it's annoying AF. Welp I was really interested in this, but you guessed it, ton of retards:
