>>2347210Echoes my reasoning for visiting /vt/ over Reddit
Reddit caters to the lowest common denominator by gamifying karma.
Redditors have zero attention span, and therefore upvote image posts more than videos or even genuine discussion because it gets the point across faster.
The people who return to post there day in and day out are padding their imaginary internet points by flooding the sub with meme posts and image macros.
In the comments are people trying to be a smart ass for comment karma.
There are rules in place to prevent people from freebooting art and tweets for big karma but people got around it by making it a meme post.
Funny tweet from a Hololive member? Instead of linking the tweet directly, screenshot it and slap a meme template right underneath the screenshot. Get more internet points.
Translated clip? Post the link to it? Nah, screenshot the clip and crop all the translations to make a monster of an image post.
Your meme got featured on meme review? Gloat about it, screenshot it, slap another meme on the screenshot, and post it on Reddit for even more karma.
The ones who actually make good art are cool though.
Discussion posts get downvoted immediately, even if its asking a harmless question in an attempt at genuinely furthering their knowledge about Hololive (or streaming Vtubers in general)
Exceptions are if it comes from a well known community member (i.e. Jin Teramachi complaining about the quality of subbers and clippers).
Or if drama rocks the community and the subreddit goes #FuckCover for some time.
I get that Coco goes there for memes and it's cool to see the actual members interacting outside of Twitter and their stream.
But jesus fucking christ everything is just cheeky memes and cheekier comments aimed to make more internet points instead of contribute to any meaningful conversation.
At least here in /vt/ you can have some meaningful discussion after you avoid /hlgg/ and filter out the obvious shitposts.
Anyways, how do y'all like Coco's glasses?
