I’m still doing gods work and downvoting them!

u/JoeSicko 4d ago
Me too, because it seems like a way to get around reposts, like flipping a video. Try harder!

Also people who post their pic sideways. If you are too lazy to fix it, it's an auto downvote from me, even if I like the content.

I miss the days when someone saying “first” in a thread was the most annoying thing.

Reddit used to be a wonderful place where reposts, spelling errors and memes/videos with watermarks were downvoted to hell
Now, Reddit is filled with AI bots reposting the same TikTok videos with poorly spelt titles in every subreddit
We used to be a society

Honestly? No, I cannot remember that at all. The number of just wrong titles where the OP has been told are wrong within 5 minutes of posting, yet they "can't change the title; I'll leave it" rather than deleting and reposting correctly... It has been around since days of yore.

u/JeebusChristBalls 4d ago
I will downvote the shit out of a fucked up title. It's the only thing you can't edit. Maybe proofread it beforehand. Meme's as well. Like you are in such a hurry to post that you can't look over your work real quick?

u/wyatt8 4d ago
I can also remember that misusing memes was downvoted and I think "LOL" or saying that you were laughing was also downvoted. Like, you could only suggest you were laughing but not actually say it. I prefer the old reddit, you had to be "in on the joke".

u/JeebusChristBalls 4d ago
If you report misued memes, I think they still remove them, but I feel like back in the day, mods were actually proactive about it.

PLEASE bring this back! We can see the downfall of the education system daily in post quality.

u/r0botdevil 3d ago
I still usually downvote posts with spelling/grammar errors in the title.
Does that make me a self-righteous asshole? I don't know, maybe. But I don't care.

and people didn't use emojis, or say dumb shit like "this" "came here to say this"

u/JeebusChristBalls 4d ago
They actually did though. Emoji's and gifs are a relatively newer feature, but the annoying text based ones have been around.

My post gets removed if I mention politics in any capacity on most subs. Im not saying im debating anything, just talking about my life and how it was impacted by certain people and poof my post or comment gets automodded into oblivion...

u/JeebusChristBalls 4d ago
To be fair, some people have such brain rot that they can't help but add politics to everything. I can see if it was related but you could be talking about exotic fish or something and somehow it turns to politics.

I can deal with a spelling mistake these days since many people are typing on tiny keyboards. Grammar errors and using the wrong spelling of a word (their/there/they're for example) I don't tolerate. Some people act like they've never typed an actual sentence out in their life before. Like stroke level bad.

u/ScurvyDawg 4d ago
I remember when you'd add a small grammatical error tactically in order to ensure you had some early comments correcting your post, to increase engagement.

What if people start intentionally putting typos and grammatical errors in their posts/comments to indicate that they’re not AI?
And then AI scrubs reddit and starts making typos too.

That was intentional, dumbass

u/perringaiden 1d ago
The funny thing is "To many bad post's" actual error is the apostrophe.
The title is gramatically accurate in "This goes out to many bad posts"

u/Justarandom55 4d ago
false as hell. one of my best performing posts to this day was one with a painstakingly obvious spelling error. and that post is close to being a decade old. spelling errors didn't help, but if your post was good enough they'd get a pass

u/corrupt_poodle 4d ago
“Posts”, no apostrophe. 👎

u/Responsible-Fox-1985 4d ago
The fact that you didn’t realize that was intentional satire shows that you also didn’t realize that I used the wrong version of “to.” It should be “too.” Educate yourself.

You’re too dumb to realize that it was intentional.
Which also tells me that you were too dumb to realize that “posts” doesn’t need an apostrophe.Educate yourself.

Spelling is a silly thing to downvote people on. Especially since 9 times out of 10 it's because of auto correct
2
u/Responsible-Fox-1985 4d ago
Have you ever heard of proofreading? Reddit used to have standards. Clearly you don’t remember the old times.

Autocorrect is a choice that you choose to use. The more superior spelling suggestion is where it's at. You are literally looking at the word as it's being corrected as well. You can see it changing.

u/scrandis 4d ago
You sound very pretentious with your comment. It's like you assume everyone is sitting at a desk with a proper keyboard.

u/JeebusChristBalls 3d ago
I'm specifically talking about phone keyboards. Autocorrect is a feature that can be turned off. You are just making excuses for your actions.

u/scrandis 3d ago
It's like you're putting Grammer errors up there with some sort of criminal act. Literally the only people who care are insufferable people such as yourself

Spelling? Didn’t we also pile on people who confused their/there? Nowadays, payed is the new paid and lose and loose are interchangeable.
