I once had 1500 upvotes on Reddit for something, don't even remember what. I'm a celebrity now.

    I remember my most uovoted comments were always the pithy little sentences that didn't add much, but captured the zeitgeist. Meanwhile I'd write an essay with a proper thesis and everything in a niche community and get like one downvote for my trouble.

    One of the reasons I turn off vote displays here. I don't consider it real engagement. Yeah we all do it to be polite, but it doesn't mean anything. A hundred upvotes is like a hundred people replying "ok" or "ya" — not even.

    Anyway that's my hobby horse, thanks for reading.

    It's always these quippy one-liners that add nothing of value to the conversation. One of the aspects that made commenting on popular posts so unrewarding and boring because the entire comment section would be full of people parroting this senseless nonsense. Actively a part of what made me comment and post barely on reddit. Whereas on here, I'm commenting a lot more than I used to simply because the discussions surrounding the comments actually exist and is appreciated.
