Seeing the same old predictable jokes and pun threads as top comments with thousands of upvotes in serious posts was one of my least favourite things about Reddit.

Any post related to WWII - Top comment “I did Nazi that coming!” 5000 upvotes

The circle jerk was truly shit.

I just checked it out, very boring /s

I judge people for being gate keepers of music, I used to be one and no one likes it. People have different tastes and it’s horses for courses.

They’ve probably just never been in the correct head space to listen to it because they’ve been conditioned to listen to mind numbing pop chart shite.

What’s your favourite band?

I liked it. I’m not going to pretend it was the best TV media ever or anything like that, it was just a bit of harmless fun.

You’d think all the haters were forced to watch it against their will. We live in an age where you can watch anything you want whenever you want. I think some people just like a good moan.

I mean yh, if you paid me £100,000 a year, I’d do it.

But living in the real world where you’d be earning minimum wage for work a machine can do hundreds of times faster and more consistently? You need to be realistic, why would you want to do menial labour that isn’t even required.

He’s absolutely hilarious. If you take Karl Pilkington seriously, it’s you that’s the problem.

Btw, Borat is a character.

This is pretty similar to when the disgruntled cotton spinners, put out of work at the very beginning of the industrial revolution used to break in to the factories to smash up the machinery.

You may not like it, it may cause short term problems, but AI is here to stay and it’s only going to get better.

Who wants to work all-day spinning cotton now?

I just wanted to say that you shouldn’t be getting downvoted. Your question is well written and appears to be made in good faith.

There are some good and interesting replies here and it shows that your question was worth asking. Please don’t be deterred from asking further questions in the future.

It’s an honest question asked in good faith and shame on you for trying to shut down OP. There are some very good, interesting and well written replies here that show it was a question worth asking.

Without context, this post is ironic.

I’ve only tried cocaine once but I thought it was super over rated yet worryingly moreish, would only recommend if you’re rich.

I agree, especially if it’s not in a built up area. There definitely something about being able to see the horizon.

I had my first root canal recently. Honestly it was no worse than a filling, the most painful part was simply having to lie still with my mouth open for so long.

(I hate the injections, but I always hate injections, worth it to go through the procedure pain free though)

It was you saying that they were turning the adverts off, now you’re saying they can’t. So to call my research “armchair” is quite ironic.

The article you shared said that it’s only creators not in the YPP that don’t receive revenue but you either didn’t read it or just decided to omit that information based upon your predetermined conclusion.

A quick Google says you’re wrong, I’m not an accountant for YouTube so I couldn’t prove otherwise. Presumably if there was zero benefit to creators, they would all turn the adverts off, rather than just some of them.

I’m aware that they only get a small percentage of the ad revenue but it’s like that in every business unfortunately. When I buy a loaf of bread at the supermarket, I know that only a tiny fraction of a percent the price will go in to the checkout worker’s or farmer’s, or the baker’s paycheck, but I’m not going to boycott supermarkets because of that.

A couple of ads isn’t the end of the world for most people. Whilst I understand that they are undersirable, I also want the creators I enjoy to be able to get paid.

Some of the creators I enjoy are quite niche and they put their time, effort and money in to making the content. I don’t think a couple of ads is too much to ask to help pay them back.

Most of the obvious choices will be posted so I’d like to give a shout-out to tuna and red onion, it sounds wrong but is surprisingly moreish!

I just wanted to say that you shouldn’t be getting downvoted. You’ve asked a question that isn’t editorialised, appears to made in good faith and asks the opinions of others.

You’ve prompted some very good answers here.

Good point well made. In the UK Down’s syndrome is now commonly screened for with an option for the parents to abort and there’s very few people that see a problem with that, is that eugenics?

Most people would agree “I only want a child with blonde hair” is too far, but as for preventing suffering, as you say, it’s a tough line to draw.
