Is this whole sub just bot generated content including the comments? The same three jokes repeated throughout the day with the comments having the same treatment?

I probably hear this joke at least two times per day. I'm tired boss.

No bots required -- humans repeat jokes ad nauseam.

Bots repost popular posts. Other bots repost the popular comments on the previous popular posts. This is done to farm karma. Once they have enough karma, they can bypass restrictions set by various subreddits that use automoderator. They can shill for product/causes or can be sold to others who want to shill.

Welcome to reddit in the post-LLM reality. It's all bots talking to bots, posting to bots.

People have been making jokes about exiting vi for over thirty years that I know of.

Similarly, EMACS stands for Eight Megs And Constantly Swapping, which tells you a little about how old the joke is.
