On top of that, only the reiteration of the same trite puns or catchphrases gets upvotes, the rest drowns.

/r/homelab was interesting, now it's just pictures of people's setups

/r/garmin was interesting, now it's screenshots of people's VO2max stats

I'm going to let you in on a secret: it isn't a real community. It is Yeti astroturfing. ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
