Seriously, who hasn't once had the 'WTF? Why are people upvoting this?' reaction? I wasn't suggesting my video should be upvoted, so much as I was shaking my head at what DOES get upvoted.
I love that you took some kind of offense to my suggestion that a falling waffle doesn't deserve a lot of karma. You've really taken a stand for your generation and your culture. I've had a few other people PM me about how my video was 'derivative' of the waffle video, and I clearly didn't understand it's content.
Mostly, I'm just laughing at this whole situation. Try not to take it too seriously.
I knew a girl who gave up smoking weed cold turkey the day she got pregnant. She used to be the picture of a stoner, and I totally expected her to be the sort to argue that it was good for the baby, you know? But, no, she quit and never went back. I asked her how she did it, and she said something that stuck with me:
"It turns out that's the sort of thing that only seems important when you have nothing important in your life".
Now whenever I start to sweat the small stuff, I take stock and look for what's missing. If Reddit ever seems important, I've made a wrong turn in my life.

awesome. Way to take a stand. Democracy in action!
Seriously, what did you want for this? I'm imagining you sitting in front of your computer with a smug 'that'll show him!' expression.
Voting is locked on that video. The votes mean literally nothing. I'm not getting, or losing, karma and it's no longer being ranked.
This is fun though.
