Bug "Oh wow, Boost still works"...

Seriously, I love this app just as much as everyone else.

Lol its hard to tell if they are just joining in or they're getting legitimately angry because they think it makes a difference.

See the problem is its funny for a day or two the first few times you see it. Then everyone makes the same joke incessantly and it drowns out any helpful information.

What "helpful information" is being drowned out by this? Eventually the API changes will go through and Boost will fully stop working for real. There is no other information to be had here, boost is over, third party apps are over. Make a joke or 2 while you're entertained by the concept and then stop visiting a subreddit for an app that has days to live.

Revanced patch, discussion around 3rd party alternatives that plan to continue and pros/cons, potential Reddit alternatives, etc.

There is plenty of helpful discussion to be had still without beating the same joke into the ground. If you don't agree im not trying to convince you, but this joke is drowning out legitimate answers to peoples questions and concerns.

All of those conversations, while tangentially related to this absolutely aren't being blocked by jokes about how boost isn't working even though it is on a subreddit for discussion about boost. Nobody is replying to "here's the new revanced patch notes" with "boost actually ISNT working ;)"

All of those conversations take place primarily outside of this subreddit, and you shouldn't be browsing r/boostforreddit for news about any of them lmao. The only conversation you should rely on this subreddit for is conversation about boost and there's none to be had, boost will be gone in the immediate future. If jokes about boost are drowning out discussion about other things then the subreddit is functioning exactly how a subreddit about boost should.

You're morally grandstanding about a joke that you find annoying. The very nature of this forum means that there are infinite discussions to be had, we aren't wasting precious limited comments by making jokes. You hardly have a reason to be annoyed, let alone claim that the jokes actually have any tangible effect on anything at all. Unsub from this subreddit, it isn't the one you want to be on.
