    wtf is a reddit bot’s karmafarm aita story doing on my feed. why is it posing as legitimate journalism. farts, if this isnt beneath the specific community here it’s beneath the platform generally.

      Still an example of carbrained bullshit and Farts is right: Feel free to help post good content and if you don’t like a post, that’s what the little red button is for.

        i dont own a car and live in a fairly unfriendly city. i could tell stories about carbrained shit all day but i’d be repeating myself over and over. the objection i made isn’t that it’s carbrained af, it’s that its probably fake and made up by a bot and never happened in the first place to farm karma by a bot, and then it was copied by a tabloid rag. it’s low, petty, dramatic shit that pushes all the right buttons for controversial engagement. i just don’t want to encourage engagement bait, that’s all.

        i’d also like to say that i didnt have a hand in downvoting farts’ reply. i agree in principle with ‘be the change.’ i just would prefer silence over slop, is all. if i had more i’d post it. i’ll be on the lookout for more organic stuff to post in the future.

          I’m directing the post stuff comment to everyone for what it’s worth: It’s mostly just me and Farts keeping the posts coming with a small handful of people submitting stuff here and there. It can be kind of frustrating sometimes, but that’s life as a mod in general I guess.

      If you don’t like it, you know where the downvote button is.

      As always, feel free to contribute instead of complain: If you want to see a certain type of content here that isn’t, be the change you want to see and post it!

    WTF is up with those sites that write entire articles about reddit posts? Seriously that is some bottom of the barrel feeding, its just writing an article about what a random person already wrote better. They then add some shit AI images, and its something I am supposed to lose time over reading? Fuck that vomit, can that source site be banned, please?

    Seems like a pointless gripe to me: What’s he supposed to do? Move the motorcycle periodically? Take TWO spots? Wheel the motorcycle into his apartment and live with it?

    Ok, I do that last one myself but it’s with a folding bike so it’s not really the same.
