        It boosts the comment because of the algorithm. I don’t know if people do it knowingly when commenting “this” or “underrated comment” but it does have an effect.

          to be clear, by this I mean the annoying comment reply chains repeating the same shit sentence.

      I feel like the lack of karma system will 100% help in this aspect. No reason to comment/post dumb things since you don’t really get anything with your post/comment is at the top.

        DAE is “does anyone else.”

        Examples:

        “DAE get sleepy when it rains?”

        “DAE throw up after drinking a handle of vodka?”

        “DAE get a little turned on when TSA asks you to follow them into a private room?”
