Thread of dumbshit you see on the imgur frontpage

xp it's kind of dumb for office drones but we have people working in industrial settings, warehouses, etc

I don't have the greatest record on this thread, but:

I see a lot of negative things about police everywhere. But I just wanted to remind people that there are some good cops out there.

this one is personal but it made me squirm a little

am i the only one who thinks that imgur comments are just the fucking worst people of all time? i'm speaking from a pathetic position of being burned repeatedly the last several times i've posted anything there. within nanoseconds of posting and image there i have triple-digit downvotes and there's one crowd of commenters that hates the title and a second that hates the description and a third is looking into my past posts and telling me they suck and a fourth says the whole idea was dumb and another says it's plagiarized and that i'm reposting stuff and claiming it as my own and a sixth is outside my window with an axe miming 'i'm slitting your throat'. it's fucking bananas! i wouldn't say some of the things they say to the worst person i ever met, not even trump, much less to someone who made an animation that i didn't like.

maybe i am just totally misunderstanding the imgur/reddit community? i give it a shot every several months to see if the community norms have changed but they seem to just be vomit leaking through the internet, year after year

i don't know much about the corporate history of imgur/reddit but are sort of the messageboard/community equivalents of a cool local business that keeps expanding and then becomes a regional power and then a national one with no meaningful connections to the initial local people who made it a success? i tend to think businesses operating on a nationwide scale are kind of doomed to be terrible; everything's just working against them. maybe messageboards are the same way

I have no idea how the reddit interaction goes, but imgur having its own comments/interaction model is just so weird

I had some images I was hosting there, that were public because I had no reason to make them otherwise, but using on twitter or ilx. And people randomly found them and left weird comments!

Like, dudes, this is my photo dump, I'm not posting these for community approval

I guess if they had started out more flickr-like and community-minded it'd make more sense to me, but it's like people who are really into commenting on a news channel's links on facebook

I work in tech support and a lot of my colleagues browse imgur all day and there are so many stories on there that they retell with the same reverence as if they were newspaper articles

scares me a bit

yeah, especially because a frontpage staple on imgur is a meme about some woman that was found to have falsely accused a man of rape

they really seem to like stories about that for some reason

i know i'm at least partly hypocritical because i continue to visit imgur and use it for hosting the dumb images that i post here, so i'm giving them support in some way? are there ads on imgur? i don't even know. at any rate i want to make it clear that i'm on imgur for the sweetest golden retriever videos you've ever seen, not for the stuff that their bullshit community seems to love the most

imgur weirds me out because I just use it as the new photobucket, but i guess there's a culture of people who are really active on there and feel the need to comment on my pictures and tell me why they are bad.

let's hear it for credulous idiots who don't understand how facial features are rendered by camera lenses of different focal lengths

omg take a look at the real-time effects of meat protein on this vegan guy who's just eaten a big juicy steak

xp yeah had a colleague who was like woah check it this guy was falsely accused of rape and when I suggested imgur was not a reliable source he was like, c'mon, makes ya think right?
