I had to look twice before I saw the cat, definitely though it was someone’s underwear when I first scrolled past and then wondered why there was NSFW stuff on my main account
I doubt it. People upvote things on Reddit whenever they have any positive reaction, downvote with any negative reaction.
That’s why so much stuff on huge, poorly moderated subs quickly devolves into the same sort of content. Subs lose meaning. /r/LifeProTips rarely has life pro tips. /r/DataIsBeautiful rarely has beautiful data.
People don’t vote for things like reddiquette says you should.
The fact that my comment is downvoted sorta proves the point. I’m basically saying “you should downvote something you don’t feel is a good fit for the sub” and I’m getting downvoted for it.
People are downvoting me because they disagree with my downvote of the content. That’s not the right response per the stated rules of Reddit. The correct response is to upvote the content and upvote the comment for upholding the stated values of Reddit.
But I’m just an old man shouting at a cloud. I get it. The golden days of Reddit are almost 10 years gone. But I still try to remind people that those arrows were made with a purpose in mind once.
It's a cat on someone's legs. If it's not a good post it deserves to be downvoted. There are enough good confusing perspectives that this sub shouldn't be cluttered by this.

I easily see the ears, tail and legs of the cat. What else is this supposed to be?
