The mod is making up rules and I didn’t leave reddit to deal with this shit. I’m deleting my posts and won’t post here again. I thought this was a place to have fun and be free. The cake was a lie.

    Nope, there are no official rules here, but that doesn’t mean everything is going to fly.

    If there’s one thing I hate more than low effort content, it’s low effort content algorithmically generated by scraping the internet and stealing the work of actual artists.

      …What do you think memes are?

      You sound so dumb. You really don’t understand and that’s ok, but I won’t be punished for your ignorance.

        Buddy, the fact that you removed “algorithmically” when you quoted me does not mean it wasn’t important to my statement. The difference is when an actual human does it, there is time and energy – even if minimally so – expended to communicate an idea. It is a transformative work.

        An algorithm doesn’t have any ideas to communicate, and neither does the person using it, because if they did they would do so, as opposed to letting a machine spit out some trash and talking about how amazing it is.

        You sound so dumb. You really don’t understand and that’s ok

        Why don’t you explain it to me?
