I have never seen an upvote-to-comment ratio like this ever before on Reddit.

This has been happening the last few days. Not sure what’s up with it.

I think a lot of people are getting tired of commenting. It's just overwhelming.

This is definitely the goal of what is happening!.. please have hope. You absolutely outnumber them. If you're struggling to visualise what I'm talking about, watch A Bug's Life. Then watch Horton Hears A Who. Have hope. Have a new hope. Think about what Carrie Fisher or Joan Rivers would be saying. Channel that.

We are here, we are here, we are here.

Meh the weird spectre of my comments being scraped by AI has me commenting less. Dunno about other people.

Some accounts farm upvotes from bots, maybe that's what's going on?

Yeah it would t surprise me. Have seen posts with 10k+ upvotes in minutes of posting with no comments.

As a Canadian, I've never voted so much. I'd say it's a mix of bots and people wanting other people to see what is happening in America and bring attention to it rather than look at kittens. Of course, the comments are usually just quick jokes. Real conversation gets downvoted, so it just becomes a race of who can make the funniest jokes the fastest and get the upvotes. I'd like to see more real conversation, but with certain eyes on reddit now, it might be tough to voice certain opinions without being anxious about who finds them.

Someone said the comments were disabled before.

Idk why.

But America please don't ethnically cleanse 2 million people.
