- yodon 2y agoWhat you seem to be missing is that people are reading your post in a non-sarcastic, non-ironic manner and agreeing with it. As Poe's law points out, that will always be the case. Poe's law speaks to the size of the population on the internet and of the range of viewpoints it hosts as a result.
