    the delivery guy thinks he’s entitled to a better tip the same way api protesters think they are entitled to having reddit bend to their will

        He’s on kbin, maybe he’s collecting negative reputation.

          But if everyone leaves reddit, who will be left to have a tantrum at? What’s left for this poor user? Sitting with their own thoughts?

    It wouldn’t surprise me if the popularity was artificially inflated. Social media has known for a while now that encouraging outrage drives views and clicks. Coupled with Reddit using bots when it was first up to artificially populate the site, there has probably always been some bullshittery going on, it’s just become more obvious now. I unsubbed to subs like r/facepalm and all the other rage generating subs because they were having a detrimental effect on my mental health and because it was obvious they were encouraging and driving outrage for clicks.

        Ah gotcha. Thought you meant the contents of the post specifically.

        Not going to bother checking reddit myself - not a user anymore. But what are the other posts averaging for upvotes in comparison? Just curious

          And here is an 11 year old video of Felix Baumgartner jumping from space. It’s cool, but is it 34k upvotes in 13 hours cool?

            New barely newsworthy post appears.
            Reddit staff: A MILLION BAJILLION UPVOTES!

    @Calcharger I saw that video on YouTube, where he said it. So at least that is true. But not sure about if he really got fired.
