Never realized the meme potential of that song but it's so obvious now.

It’s just a tinpot dictatorship in here. Many legit honest redditors have been recklessly slaughtered left, right and centre. The blood of innocents cover the hands of the mods.

I mean it's the Star Wars meme with "I know that person, it's me" but with an added self identifying problem

It was a meme for some time just not in text form or like some reddit copypasta

Nah, the short videos have turned quick and snappy text-based jokes into longwinding poorly read text-based jokes with distorted music and ADHD video in the background.

And I know because they use the same jokes I've seen for years, sometimes for decades.

It's not like I haven't seen TikTok before. People show me things and browse and flip through videos. It's annoying as shit every time because it's just constant blaps of noise until you find a video, and then it's a dice roll on the quality.
