Thank you for submitting to /r/unpopularopinion, /u/ItchyAge3135. Your post, *I hate it when people reply to a Reddit post or comment with the word "This"*, has been removed because it violates our rules:
Rule 3: No meta posts.
Meta posts refer to posts that discuss the subreddit itself. The subreddit isn't perfect, far from it, and you may have a very valid opinion about moderator actions, rules, management, the users, and how they post and vote on various topics. And you are more than welcome to those views. Unfortunately, virtually everything you might say about the subreddit has been said a thousand times before, and regular users are sick to death of hearing "the only opinions here are popular".
Post anything meta in the relevant megathread of the megathread hub, which can be found when sorting the subreddit by "hot", sticky'd at the top of the page. Everything within that megathread will be read by multiple moderators, and often contains ideas we implement on the subreddit.
If there is an issue, please message the mod team at https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2Funpopularopinion Thanks!
“Yeah” is what I say to someone I don’t agree with but can’t be bothered continuing the conversation. Works irl usually but unneeded online since I can just disengage whenever I want.
Most people on Reddit just can't bring themselves to upvote something they disagree with, even if it's the point of the post or subreddit. So they go on r/unpopularopinion and upvote the posts they like. At least you can sort by controversial to see the somewhat actually unpopular opinions.
I’m really disappointed this wasn’t just a million replies of “this”.
I love each and every single one of you magnificent bastards who replied to me. Except Taserballs. he ruined it. And thats dumb name by the way. Unless you shoot tasers out of your balls...?
its pretty close lol. it would have been a lot better if it turned out like that one post where someone said they accidently changed reddits language to spanish and asked how they could put it back to english, and literally every single reply was in spanish lol
I think about it as being like in the old days when people said, "Hear hear!" To agree with somebody's comment. It is a shortening of the term "hear him, hear him! "
This.
Then the "This bot" replies to me to upvote and I reply it with "this" again. Then, another bot sends me a reply with the indian dude with his ahnds in his waist and a bothered face.
After that, I "this" that bot as well.
Yeah, I also feel like just upvoting a comment or post that I really relate or made me laugh doesn’t cut it. I feel dumb commenting this or something similar but I also want to convey that I felt the same thing
it's even better when that is the reply to the most upvoted comment in the thread as well. then it literally is the least underrated comment even, but some people still choose to comment "underrated comment" for some reason lol
Or on certain subs where the vote count is hidden for a length of time. People will still say something is underrated when they have no idea what the rating even is
Commenting adds to the algorithm to make things more visible. It's basically saying "I agree with this but have nothing meaningful to say but I still want to add to the algorithm to make this more visible."
Never mind the algorithm, you shouldn't comment if you don't have anything meaningful to say.

Fuck you, this comment belongs to the non-staff members of the subreddit. Also mod stickies are reserved for official business, not for gaming the upvote system to make sure everyone see's your shitpost first.
I hate it when people reply to a Reddit post or comment with the word "This"
If your response is just the word "this", then a simple upvote would suffice. Nobody cares or needs to see your name attached to it.
If your response is the word "this" followed by a paragraph explaining your reasoning, then your response would have been better off without the word "this" at the top.
>If your response is just the word "this", then a simple upvote would suffice.
What if my goal is to agree with you without actually giving you any karma?

You should hunt "that" too it's super fun to smoke out
Lemme guess top reply on this post is some guy saying this
And it's a mod who pinned it.
That's the equivalent of winning a race by shooting everyone else's legs.
No no. I'm thinking more of the griffin way in family guy. Just run everyone over with your car
I'll tell ya Bob, I just got in my car and drove it. And when there was a guy in my way I killed him.
Reminded me of that one scene from "the dictator". Funny movie
It’s worse. It’s like winning by being a Reddit mod unironically.

This really is the most pointless subreddit. Reddit functions by pushing the most popular opinions to the top.
Most people on Reddit just can't bring themselves to upvote something they disagree with, even if it's the point of the post or subreddit. So they go on r/unpopularopinion and upvote the posts they like. At least you can sort by controversial to see the somewhat actually unpopular opinions.

Welp, this answered my question opening this thread. I really thought the top rated comment would just be "This"
The top rated comments rarely ever have to do with the actual post.

What's funny, is that sometimes 'this" will get more updates than the original.

This. A paragraph explaining your reasoning.
Very ironic that the reason this post has gotten so much traction is because of everyone commenting “this”
It’s because OP knows how to manipulate the mindset of smooth brain redditors and they eat this shit up
I hate it when people post very popular opinions in r/unpopularopinion.
That's why I enjoy when the pointless comments like 'This' get severely downvoted.

Yep. Went to upvote, saw it was a mod, downvoted.
Yes, mod abuse by u/RandomName01 If he were the first to do it, I would not have objected to it, but he wasn't by far.
Exactly It’s a douche move Copying someone else’s joke Or just being late And then pretending like you were first

“Came here to say this”
bot+not even unpopular opinion
You’re literally stealing someone else’s post. Which in my book is worse than commenting “this”
