I don't understand these posts. Reddit is full of them. You might as well ask AI.
@sullybiker People ask this question not because they need help making a decision, but because they have made it and need assurance it's a right one.
@SeventhMagpie Yes, there is also a pattern of deferring decisions to the internet hive-mind, which in the case of Reddit is somewhere between catastrophic and plain stupid.
@sullybiker People find it difficult to think for themselves. :)
@sullybiker I find that Reddit gets a little worse every day. After the great downsizing a few months ago it seems to be left with bots, trolls, piles of 16-25 year olds who just heard Reddit wuz cool (and have never tried using the search function), conspiracy theorists, right wing nut jobs, and then 12 of us who are lurking to see how far reddit's enshittification will go.
Ok, there is a bit of a local community that I go back for, but I'm going to have to keep trimming back on some of the big dumb subreddits.

@kinetix It's always had the 'idiot king' problem, in that shit tends to be voted to the surface and it's all you see.
@sullybiker Same with useless drivel posts in many of the big subs. The voting system is sure great for the common dumb in places.
@kinetix I despair when a really good discussion gets wrecked by comedians.
@sullybiker haha, yes, I'm with you on that one, too.
@kinetix The upvote system is like a turbocharger for derails.
It's the same with cars. "Should I buy xyz?" The internet isn't going to save you, bro.
