What I find weird, is why people would comment that kind of worthless stuff when they could just give an upvote. It doesn’t add anything to the discussion. It is just worthless fluff.
And writing responses like that comes close to that. I understand it, kinda, because I use to do the same. When somebody writes me some message or sth, I often reply with a short (but still unnecessarily long) text. I even do this when I wasn’t directly talked to. So that’s a habit.

Because points.
I guess lots of people just like to talk.

But did you make comments like that in public discussions?
He’s highlighting how many comments are just bots.
I LUVE DIS COMMETS!!
So they have a chance to get upvotes of their own.
I truly think that most reddit comments (including those pictured) are from bots who use upvotes and downvotes to train an LLM.
