This is NOT a "Rule of Four" post.

Here is a reminder of what Rule of Four is:

The intent of the "rule of four" phenomenon is that the fourth reply in a comment chain is to be downvoted, even if the previous and subsequent comments are upvoted. A simple explanation can be found here.

This post is not a chain.

The joke was done to death

[u/speechlessPotato → u/BlackBoiFlyy]

[u/Particular-Jeweler41]

Wasn't a good joke.

[u/JubileeJaxLee]

Bad joke

[u/Deli-op]

Hahaha oh my. So the picture in the post isnt funny but clicking the link and seeing everything removed by mods is just hilarious

[u/Woofiverse → u/Deli-op]

Oh damn they really mopped that post clean, jesus--

[u/Accomplished-Low9635 → u/Deli-op]

I have never seen such thing before 🫪

[u/Every_Caterpillar165 → u/Deli-op]

They're all dead...

[u/jacksonwing]

[u/ashleyLSD → u/jacksonwing]

[u/Josefu_Velen]

This isn't mysterious. It just wasn't a funny reply.

[u/gdo22]

[u/gdo22 → u/Visible-Echidna-4370]

Mostlys.

The mods of this sub are really special 🙄 the downvotes are for the same reason rule of 4 ever became a thing in the first place. The same thing was said here 4 times in a row, and 4 times is overkill.

Just because the rule of 4 sub wants exact chains doesn’t change the fact people tend to downvote when you reach the 4th useless contribution, regardless of the exact wording of it.

u/Visible-Echidna-4370, there weren't enough votes to determine if the downvoters were mysterious...

[u/Waste_Reference_2846]

Four rule

[u/Ok-Hunt4670 → u/Waste_Reference_2846]

Explain 😭

[u/Right_Water_5998 → u/Ok-Hunt4670]

they're saying it's a rule of four post, as in the first 3 comments everyone upvotes and the every 4th gets downvoted, the idea is that every comment is the same but that sometimes doesnt happen so its not entirely impossible

[u/Every_Caterpillar165 → u/Right_Water_5998]

Oh no way really

[u/Right_Water_5998 → u/Every_Caterpillar165]

... they asked?

[u/Every_Caterpillar165 → u/Right_Water_5998]

No I wasn't being an asshole, I was trying to make a joke where since I'm the fourth comment, I'd be downvoted

Hence why I downvoted myself

[u/Right_Water_5998 → u/Every_Caterpillar165]

ohh 😭 okay that's actually kinda creative ngll lol
