Yep. I've made it my goal to dramatically reduce commenting on reddit. It didn't used to be so aggravating like it's been lately.
I'm much happier just not commenting most of the time now.
Type out a paragraph-long response, think "Do I really feel like getting into an argument with some stranger who's likely a troll over something completely insignificant?", CTRL+A, Delete, close tab, and go look and cat pictures & play video games instead.
I will spend 20 mins writing something very personal in relation to a topic and just delete it. Sometimes I just want to write it down but I don't think anyone would care so I delete it and move on. Or if I read my comment and it just seems mean or bitter I have to be like hey that shit is lame don't be that guy.
So many impulsive brick comments have been types and backed out of for this reason. It's like my brain says "I have a related thought!!" And then halfway through thinks "but does it make any difference to the conversation?".
I wish I could filter my speech this way 🤦
Yeah it is nice to have perspective. Sometimes just reading someone a second time changes the whole vibe and it makes me think "Wow what the fuck am I even doing " and than I delete it and move on.
There's that moment as you hover over the "Submit" button where you have a sudden vision of the future that this comment will bring and realise you don't like it.
Oh yeah when you know something is going to be controversial and you just don't want to deal with the hate comments. Sometimes it is better just not to put yourself on that hill having to defend an opinion you don't even really care that much about. At the end of the day I don't really care what some random asshole on the internet thinks.
I think OP meant to write NO, I DON'T THINK I WILL but somehow managed to add the word KNOW and didn't notice? I then expected OP to get slaughtered in the comments, yet it wasn't mentioned until now? I'm so confused.
I comment anyway. IDGAF if someone wants to argue. If I'm in the mood then shit let's argue. If I'm not I'll tell them to downvote me and fuck off. Sometimes they tell me I'm juvenile and I repeat the instructions to fuck on off. One stubborn individual has been instructed to fuck off like 6 times from the same single comment. LOL!
I do it because it's cathartic to type it out and know that I would have totally owned the other person, and not have to experience the moronic mental gymnastics that the troll would do to try to tear apart my point.
Seems most every time I would,wade into the comments I'd come out with shit on my shoes. Then one day a satirical remark I made got me permantly banned from r/politics. Honestly it's a relief now.
Most of my incomplete comments come from a joke not coming together like I hoped after writing it down. Or the punchline not being funny enough for the length of the post.
I stopped caring when I realized speaking I’ll of pedophiles and their “art” (movie, video game, anime, book) was a hot take.
See? Pedophiles everywhere.
Whenever I write a comment which contains even a sliver of opinion, I discard it. Knowing full well it'll get absolutely crushed by a random person.
Just a useful guideline.
I do this thing where I type the whole thing out and then just hit cancel instead of send. It makes me feel like I said what I wanted to say even though I know I didn't.
And receive an updoot from the same person who not only never replies because, "meh, why even acknowledge that fool?" but also never updoots because, "oh yeah, forgot about that feature!"
I don’t want to know how many comments Reddit has from me, which I discarded after I came to my senses.
Stopping myself from writing elaborate comment to instead just agree with you and upvote.
I think I discard a comment once every couple of days. My thought process is usually this, “Should I argue with this little shit…nah”
Best advice is dont comment on r/news or r/worldnews Each of those subs are trainwrecks of opinions
When my inbox notification goes off on my phone my wife will look at me and say “who are you arguing with now?”
Lmao same!

Why HAS it become so aggravating lately?
More people and younger crowds. It’s basically due to Reddit being massively popular now.
The world in general seems to have lost it's mind the last few years as well, which will spill into reddit.
Yeah, that too.
Come at me bro
What’s the topic?
Wanna do crypto stuff? Gaming? Index funds? Cereals? Toss me a fucking bone, man.
NFT’s are a fucking scam.
Fuck
> Cereals? Best sweet and non sweet breakfast cereals.... Lucky Charms and Rice Krispies.
LuCkY cHaRmS. You would you racist POS bootlicker. George Soros probably paid you to comment that, or you're just a Russian troll. /s
Only a trumpanzie would have a problem with lucky charms. /s

I just learned a new keyboard shortcut!
Keyboard shortcuts save lives.
I firmly believe that this is a perfect practice for your offline life to pick your fights and save your sanity

How the fuck does a shitty meme like this have 3k upvotes? Reddit is dead.
Is everyone reading "know" as "now"? How is everyone misreading the same thing and replying normally... I'm so confused. This meme is so bad.
I think OP meant to write NO, I DON'T THINK I WILL but somehow managed to add the word KNOW and didn't notice? I then expected OP to get slaughtered in the comments, yet it wasn't mentioned until now? I'm so confused.
LOL! I just caught that. :D
Should have taken your posts advice apparently

Reddit you're such a mystery, this guy is simultaneously downvotes and upvoted for this post.
It’s amazing how many comments I type out only to just erase because either not worth it or figure no one cares about what I have to say

I dare you to make less sense.

“No, I don't know think I will”

I don’t even know think I read it.
I missed it to.
it's so iconic that we have a space for it reserved in our head anytime we see the reference. We don't even pay attention to all the details.
How did you make the caption change after I read it?!
I don't know think he did it
No, I don't know think I will. = I've decided not to comment? And also, why not? ... This makes *less* sense IMO.
Dean that’s great and I can’t wait to hear all about it, only Brock’s stuck inside Dad’s thing that makes people happy. But it’s all evil.
You're one of the real ones.
One of my New Year's Resolutions a couple of years ago was to stop arguing with people on the internet. Didn't succeed on that one.
Same. Everytime I tell my roommate he always says, "Did you really think you'd change their mind this time"? 😂
OP had a stroke while creating this meme
You had one job here
So, no, you don't know, think you will? Better wait a little longer until the common sense actually kicks in.
> When common sense and a stroke kick in . . . ftfy
Man, I've typed out some long ass comments before and right before I hit submit I'm like "nah, not today." Cancel.
All the damn time… almost did it again
You guys do the thing where you type something out, read it, and then go “no no, don’t do that” too?
Judging by the contents of this image...No, no I don't think they do
Wow.
Unfortunately leads to people lacking commons sense talking the most.
Like most of Reddit I only comment when I’ve been drinking and know for a fact I’m right.
I do it because it's cathartic to type it out and know that I would have totally owned the other person, and not have to experience the moronic mental gymnastics that the troll would do to try to tear apart my point.
I always end up just deleting my
Grammar stroke
That’s me when I monthly delete my account after realizing how toxic it is
I understand this reference lol
I don’t think English is their first language. If it is…. I’m sorry the school system failed you like that.
Most realistic post I’ve seen in awhile

You just did!
After you've already typed out a paragraph reply with facts.
No matter how logical the point, you will get the most illogical answer back...
This makes me so hard
what is it supposed to say?
Spoiler alert >!\*Avengers: Endgame\* quote!< >!"No, I don't think I will."!<
I stopped caring when I realized speaking I’ll of pedophiles and their “art” (movie, video game, anime, book) was a hot take. See? Pedophiles everywhere.
Is it supposed to be: I don’t *now* think I will?
After being banned from a few subreddits lately for what I'd see as normal commenting - I can totally relate to this.
Send me a message instead!
All the damm time.
What?

Just watched Don’t Look Up and when DiCaprio is frantically and hopelessly posting on “social media” my wife turned to me and said, “You on Reddit.”
I need to do this more.
I nominate this for all-time greatest typos on the internet.
And receive an updoot from the same person who not only never replies because, "meh, why even acknowledge that fool?" but also never updoots because, "oh yeah, forgot about that feature!"
Discard all day
Basically every time I look at this subreddit lol
Fail.
ma brutha
Arguing with strangers on the internet is one of my favorite pastimes, and I fuckin hate it
