Long, thought out posts with replies that consist solely of something like "you're*"
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'
Mouseovers that are easy to inadvertently activate and block a massive part of the site
Politically motivated communities, even if the community has nothing to do with politics
people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit
An expensive API.
Just less outrage, more harmony.
I'm just tired of the same old jokes. "Uh oh, his shoes fell off, he must be dead."
Usually, I don't mind the jokes. It's easy enough to ignore them with the rest of the noise.
That said, often something important is posted and all the comments are just dumb jokes - really grinds my gears.
ads, just that
And comment posting bots. Since there's no karma there should be no market value for accounts right? Am I missing something or does that kind of solve the problem? We could still see trolls using Ai to comment randomly
Snarkiness, snobbery, walking on eggshells, opinion downvotes and in general the unbearable attitude of most redditors.
snark is a very useful tool when dealing with frauds and delusional assholes

I realize this basically makes me satan to a lot of redditors so I never talked about it over there, but I HATED the whole cutesy schmoopsy poem shtick a couple of users would do that everyone would upvote to the top of a handful of threads every day. An AI could be churning out that saccharine doggo speak and nobody would ever know the difference, but people go nuts for it.
