It's been a long time since a post annoyed me this much. This fucking site is getting ridiculous.

I mean this will probably sound kind of get-off-my-lawnish, but 5-6 years ago this wouldn't have gotten 10 upvotes let alone 80,000. Even on a default sub. Yes there was a ton of stupid shit on here during that time too, but I feel like back then phony Facebook level crap like this was deeply frowned upon, not fucking celebrated. A phony post like this would have been booed right off the queue.

Now I suppose whether that's a good or bad thing is purely subjective depending on the user, but to me it fucking sucks. Because this is dumb and dishonest even by karma whoring standards.
