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.
