    Reddit users, as have Xitter, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, etc., have all demonstrated that you can do whatever the fuck you want to them and they’ll just keep coming back for more, no matter what.

        There’s a real sunk cost fallacy going on when you’ve been on Reddit for, say, ten years - until you realise that karma, reputation, and awards and stuff are just bollocks.
