I miss the days when these low effort comments were frowned upon here.
As you can tell, I chose the latter.
Similar things have happened in comedy where comedians would complain: “I miss the old days when you could joke about this or that.” If you check newspapers, you will see this trend going all the way back to 1900s.
The vast majority of the stuff that was downvoted was factually incorrect content.
it’s been pretty similar for the last ~decade though.
