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

      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

    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.

    10% of comments are legitimately funny or well thought out and add something to your experience

    Unfortunately, you have to wade through the other 90% to get to them
