I'm just tired of the same old jokes. "Uh oh, his shoes fell off, he must be dead."
AskReddit topics:
"Who is a very popular and esteemed actor but actually is pretty bad at acting?"
"What's a cheap thing that is actually expensive?"
The "obligatory" jokes, copypasted every time someone writes a certain thing. I would always downvote them. I am thinking about blocking users that continue that here.
I can hope it won’t but I know it’s gonna happen anyway - the chronically online mentality that was everywhere on Reddit.
On reddit it always seemed like a lot of people (or at least the most vocal ones) never actually go outside and have this very idealized and unrealistic view on the world.
Just general karma whoring...
The absolutely childish gaming default posts of "hidden gems" that aren't hidden, "ain't much but it's mine" and stale ass memes. Stuff like that makes my eyes roll. Not just the default gaming sub but it started to creep into most places.
Shitty repost bots. Actively ban bots pretending to be humans.
Rage bait, Karen videos, violence
Comments that require a, "well, back on Reddit..." explanation. Could include comments about that guy's dead wife. That one kid's broken arms, etc.
Bots and that awful app
Least original post: the dumbass comments parroting the same joke from 2018. It's not even bots, it's the zeitgeist and it's only gonna get worse. Insert 'old_man_shouts_at_sky.gif'
Photos of people’s wives or girlfriends - often taken without their wife or girlfriend’s consent - playing video games, with vaguely condescending titles about it “only being the Sims / Animal Crossing” and half the replies being absolutely vile. As a Woman Who Plays Video Games, it was awfully annoying.
I actually liked megathreads, they usually meant big news and I didn't have to read 20 posts about the same thing.
But what I disliked about reddit was when trolls from some subreddits would spam CP to get other subreddits closed
"cool pictures"
