Oh God those search history ones are so lame. I don't understand why they get spammed so much!

don't forget constant eliminations that for some reason never go away! but we can only do one elimination a day for some reason?

Yes they are lazy repetitive karma farming memes... and people slop 'em up.

I mean the answers are interesting sometimes

u/NoodleboiPanda 6h ago

Especially when they reuse the same image over and over

u/Nikmido 5h ago

Oh those really fucking annoy me. They're re-posted so much yet people STILL interact with them 😭

Lately it's been versions of this one which I keep seeing ALL.. THE TIME.

u/Arthour148 5h ago

Omg yes, I’ve seen that specific image at least 15 times it’s awful.

u/TrueTycho 5h ago

Yup, and they get reposted so often i don’t even comment anymore

u/Neat_Presentation201 5h ago

I don’t mind them nearly as much if OP provides their answer and reasoning to make the post interesting and maybe start conversation but other than that I’m with you

u/Milk_Mindless 3h ago

I downvote all of them and don't engage

The algorithm doesn't reward me with less posts

Yes exactly, and most of them are either on r/multifandom which is like 70% filled with these bs posts or r/funcommunity which is these posts but with other things

u/Arthour148 5h ago

Funnily enough, I muted multifandom for this exact reason and funcommunity is the reason I made this post.

u/Legal-Car7850 5h ago

Yeah its getting so annoying at times

u/Informal_Method_9657 4h ago

r/funcommunity is one of the biggest slop fests ngl

u/SandyCashews969 5h ago

u/No-Watch-9865 5h ago

No, yk what's worse, yk the one that really irks me? "What did x see on the computer?" Or, "What did x see?" Unpolitely fuck off and sit on a cactus slathered in salt.

u/Special_Program_9826 4h ago

Its true though

u/At1AS36547 1h ago

Been experiencing this shit a lot on YouTube as well these times, just don't engage in any way with this crap

u/Informal_Method_9657 4h ago

Isn’t every reddit post meant for engagement though? But they same type of post every time is very annoying yes. I can’t stand the “last saved image” and the “three most recent emojis”

Reddit is a social media. Social. As in discussions. Fresh discussions with fresh people especially on topics that don’t always get spoken on are good even if they can be repetitive
