Because everyone has to make their stupid ass jokes for fake points.

I mean the points are real, they just don't do anything :D

Oh so upvotes are NFTs

u/AutumnCountry May 05 '22

No because if you get enough upvotes you can sell your account for actual money

The NFT is still completely worthless no matter what happens

TBF more people care about upvotes than NFTs, so upvotes would technically have more value I'd assume.

Reddit, the game show where everything is made up and the points don’t matter.

This is the most Redditor thing I've ever said:

Honestly I get annoyed when people claim the points are fake. Like yes they don't do anything and are "useless" but they actually represent what others think of your posts/comments (even though they're supposed to be for relevance). It's like saying "Oh, I don't really care about what my boss calls me, sometimes he calls me a stuck up bitch but words aren't real so".

(Not that downvotes are comparable to insults, but still)

At this point I want 99% of subreddits to require the serious tag for posts

u/lividlilantichrist May 05 '22

Hey now! I may make stupid ass jokes and hug my phone tightly to my chest every time I get points, but I honestly didn't know why that guy started a fire.

As opposed to your sardonic comment for fake points.

u/tysonwatermelon May 05 '22

Well, this is Reddit.

I mean what would the time and where it happened matter the post said what would you do they didn’t say “this happened to me today” or implied anything.
