  This comment finally put the puzzle pieces for why so many people seem to hate this website.

    A) Whom? B) Why? I can't see this flagged post, but the user in question has such quality comments as "hahahaha", "ouch", and "duhhh" -- most users here actually contribute to discussion, where as a few think this is reddit...

      It's extremely punishing of negative-sounding comments. People who want to call out bullshit on the orange website end up doing it on other forums so it looks like they hate it a lot.

        Nobody here wants to look at generic comments that shit all over things, if you have something of value to say, say it, otherwise go away, nobody is going to miss you.
