        It was pretty annoying seeing posts with very little actual activity pushed to the top. I had an app that ignored the reward prioritization though.

      So I had a significant event happen to me recently that made international news. I also run an email service that I’m trying to get off the ground. A few of my friends asked why I didn’t promote my business since I was all over the news. I don’t have a better explanation than I would be disgusted seeing someone do that, so I wouldn’t do it myself.

        Reminds me of “thanks for the gold kind stranger!” Ughh.

        But at the same time I don’t get pissed or would hate them for it necessarily, I’d just think it’s a little cringe and move on.

          I’ve done that, but only because I thought I was supposed to lol. Since I saw a lot of people doing it at the time, and inferred it was being polite under the logic that you should usually thank someone for a “gift”.

    Whenever I like a comment on the internet I’ll go back to it regularly to read it again, seeing these grateful edits always make my day!!

      They’ve seen it more than once.

      Being trained on a mainstream internet built on flashing novelty in front of our eyeballs every 0.006 seconds, seeing something said similarly in multiple places begins to fill them with rage.

      Lol 🧂

    I’ve left comments, forgot about them, rewatched the video years later and noticed that I got a ton of likes for saying the dumbest shit imaginable. YouTube commenters are an interesting crowd.

    I’ve also seen someone get the most likes under a video for a comment they later changed to “Luigi Mangione is a hero”. Now those types of edits I can get behind.
