Reply to comment by bitchslayer78 in Amazing. This subreddit is a total waste of time. by LoquaciousAntipodean

To vent frustration at a community he feels has wronged him, I imagine.

I pay good money to shitpost on Reddit, so when I'm not getting my money's worth, it's the other commentors' fault.

You pay money to shitpost on here? Really?

Yeah, I do the $49.99 monthly subscription. It lets me access up to 15 subreddits, and I can give out 150 upvotes, and 25 downvotes. I'm also allowed to post up to 10 submissions a month, and comment 100 times. This comment is costing me something like 7 cents. They don't really break it down by "each submission costs x" or "each upvote costs x". It's all rolled into the monthly fee.

Very interesting... I was unaware that any of those things were unavailable to non-paying, povvo scrubs like me 😅

Right on the first bit, but not the second. Nobody's 'wronged' me, it's just like talking to a very condescending brick wall around here and I've got fed up.

Just spiteful venting, that's all.

I thought you said that your posts were unfairly removed, or downvoted, or something like that?

Yeah, I tried putting up a thing about ChatGPT explaining its own operating processes, and getting it to reason about how its own language systems work, connecting the 'logic' of written language to the 'logic' of the DNA-to-protein pathway.

Clearly it went over people's heads a bit, but instead of asking about it, the whole post just got scrubbed for being 'low quality content', no other explanation offered.

This would have been a little galling on any subreddit, but considering sort of half-witted fearmongering that passes for discussion here sometimes, I was more than a little disappointed.

But c'est la vie, stupid is as stupid does. I'm not gonna pick a fight with the mods about it; it's trivial, annoying nuisance stuff.
