No karma to speak of yet still so much karma whoring
Karma got nothing to do with it. It’s all about being at the top of the pile.
Before Reddit and Digg, it was all about trying to get first comment on Slashdot.
first.
who would care about that anymore, if we can learn something from history is that we will definitely not commit the same mistakes? was it? I forgor 💀
Humans are always going to have stupid games to see who can be the first, or who can make it to the top of something. Is the entire foundation ESPN is built on.
It’s a phase, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
Remember a week ago it was not pooping for 3 days? Something else will take the place of beans eventually.
What’s your problem with beans? Are you a bean hater? You best step off my bean-bros, bro!
I don’t think we’ve even hit 24 hours yet.
I don’t care for the bean memes, but hey, it’s making a few people happy haha. I’m for that.
It’s generating content and clicks. Which is INCREDIBLY important for a social media. The content doesn’t have to be good, and obviously Lemmy isn’t the same as Reddit or other social media in terms of value of upvotes, or algorithms. However it’s important for USERS to see content that’s fresh hitting the front page. Even if it’s the same topic and shitposting. This helps attract other creators which in turn brings more users. It’s the shit circle of (social) life.
