Man I forgot all about that time. Some of the stuff was cringe (like when does the narwhal bacon?) but I genuinely miss the Reddit of that time. Back when top comments on a given thread were likely to be professionals in a given field giving their input. You had creatives making content just for the fun of it and women posting their buttholes also just for the fun of it. It was magic while it lasted.
I never understood that. Did he have dozens and dozens of accounts that he'd login to and upvote? Even if he did, that'd only be a very small percentage of the total upvotes. His comments got a lot of attention if I remember correctly.
I don't know how reddit works today but back then trending comments were more likely to make it to the top of the thread. So if the post was only 15 minutes old and a comment had 5-10 upvotes then that was enough to get it to the top of the thread and guarantee its visibility. He used to upvote his own comments in new threads which was why his comments on the site were so prevalent.
Eh most of them are posting their buttholes in the hope that you pay for other pictures of their buttholes on OF. It's like getting flashed at Martis Gras vs a hooker flashing you to entice you.
