Mostly, I'm peeved that the oatmeal's stuff has been reposted somewhere called "funnyjunk".

The oatmeal is not funny.



I down-modded this comment, but since the user probably made it in good-faith I'm going to explain why.

This would be a good comment on reddit - short, opinionated and easy for people who share the sentiment to upvote to show their agreement.

However, it doesn't add anything to the discussion. It's not insightful or relevant, it just adds noise to the discussion. The community here generally tends to try to keep the discussion more thoughtful with less short, funny quips, and following that ideal this comment does not belong.


> This would be a good comment on reddit

No, actually it would be a shitty comment on reddit too. Sadly, it is the kind of comment that is now tolerated in some of the bigger subreddits.


I don't know why you would expect more than shitty comments in response to GiantBatFart's shitty content and reddit spamming. GIGO


For my own sanity i'm going to assume that you are joking and that you are not this elitist or rude usually.
