    I think it's on purpose at this point as a way to get engagement. The more comments, the more people likely to comment, more people likely to interact and upvote or whatever equivalent.

    Your comment is true for most other online fora and social media. If I remember correctly, comments do not bring posts upward in the Hot feed in the Threadiverse. Engagement bait for clout is limited to just “Upvote if…” posts. If you don’t like a post here, downvoting is the most effective way to disadvantage it from being seen. It takes only a minute or two for someone to search for an uncensored image or to manually retype the words before posting a tacky censored version.
