For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.

Whenever every 'What's the worst show you've seen?' is asked, you'll get 10,000 "Kardashians" answers, which is just easy karma farming.

If someone posts in a community that's geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.

That's just teenagers. They will arrive eventually if Lemmy gets more popular.

Nope, a lot of them are grown ass adults.

As 4chan would call it back in the late 00s, "endless new*** summer"
