The most recent being the jeans trend. It was funny, I get why everyone enjoys a good shitpost. Some of the shitpost are top quality and fun for all to enjoy. But after a couple of days the shitposts just turn to shit posts and its just upvote farming low quality content and kills the joke.
I can agree with that point. People might be late to the joke, or enjoy it for a longer time. But the quality of posts is also important, and I think that’s the where the difference comes in. Someone takes the time to think of a good pun, or a high quality photo shop, I can appreciate that even if I don’t fine the joke funny anymore. When the post is jeans jeans and it’s a drawing done in 5 seconds in paint of 2 pairs of poorly draw jeans it’s not funny and just upvote farming, whether you just discovered the joke or not. That’s my take anyway, I know we won’t all agree.
Shitposts aren’t supposed to be high quality. It’s in the name
They still should reach the bar of “not garbage” though.
Well that’s up to the audience to decide
