Malicious compliance, love it!
This kind of hilarity is why I started using Reddit back in the day. So it might be helping Reddit as well.
Hmmm, good point. On one hand, this amusing stuff could be bringing people back to Reddit and boosting the level of engagement just through people showing up to take part in shows of, well, refusing to take part.
On the other paw, though, if these things last then people may eventually get bored and stop showing up. Are enough people that vapid that they'll come by day after day just to say "wellthatsucks" and post a pic of John Oliver? Hopefully not.
If they are, then... sigh
Are you half dog?
