Reddit? It has always been like that! People try to crack jokes to get attention, now attention has a little number next to it (the upvotes/downvotes) but it's the same thing that's always happened ever. Think back in high school there was always a few kids who would ALWAYS crack jokes to be the center of attention, it isn't any different now that we have websites that kind of "promote" this content more than the rest.

Sure it happens elsewhere as well. But Reddit is really amplifying it.
