Am I the only one who really hates that comment section is slowly turning into gen-z discord channel where people communicate in reaction gifs?

    For starters, I already explained that I was not trying to hate on Gen-Z, it just felt like a good way to describe it as that’s how discord chats normally look like. The same discord channels I post reaction gifs to.

    Secondly, I’m expressing worrysome over the increasing trend of flooding the comment section with gifs, which just makes real comments harder to spot. It is not entitlement, it is simply being annoyed by something. Entitlement would be demanding from others to stop it imo, but I never said such things and my goal here isn’t to change people, but … well, to simply rant and see if I’m the only one who gets annoyed by this.

    Lastly, I’m barely 31 so not really “old man yelling at cloud”, but to make you better understand by bitterness about it - I see reddit as a great source of information, opinions and just generally a place you’d go if you wanted to read something (hence the reddit’s name essentially being read it). Imagine looking up on google in future “Problem X reddit”, but all you find is reaction gifs. Im exaggareting of course, but you get the idea. Just does not seem like a place for it

      Oh ok yeah I think I get it now. I guess I took the caption very literally. And I mean sure there’s a time and a place for those types of replies. I probably just haven’t been exposed to spammed gifs to the same extent so I misunderstood the intention of the post.
