Some MOST things just shouldn’t be connected to the internet.

FTFY

Way back in the way back we used to call comments like that “flame baiting”. It’s trying to start a fight, nothing more. Forums and BBs I moderated used to technically ban it, but generally the rule has always just been “don’t feed the trolls”. Meaning: don’t comment, don’t downvote, don’t bother reporting. They just want attention, the only thing that hurts them is realizing that this board will ignore them just as completely as their parents already do in real life.

I don’t believe the message here is “i don’t like what Reddit is doing, therefore it’s bad if I use Reddit” at all.

The point is: reddit couldn’t care less what you say. Reddit at this point only cares about traffic and metrics. How many items posted in the last 7days, how many unique logins over X period, how many views on ad trackers. That’s why it’s bad to log in. As P.T. Barnum once said-“There is no such thing as bad publicity”. Whether you say “fuck spez” or “spez is the second coming in the flesh, all hail” doesn’t matter at all. Just 1m logins, 2m new posts in the last 24 hours.
