PlEase stop. It’s just annoying at that point.

I agree with this somewhat. As a 3rd party scrolling through comments, it's not exciting to me to see 50% of the responses being from the image owner, especially when many of them are cheesy suck-up comments or low-effort comments like "lol".

I think Imgflip is partly at fault for this, due to the point motivations we have in place for comment upvoting. People are incentivized to comment as much as possible on their own memes because they have more free rein to comment as much as they want, and each comment is another chance for upvotes. Perhaps we need to reduce the power of upvotes on additional comments on a given image, so that the first couple comments allow normal point rewards when people upvote them, but later comments grant lower and lower amounts of points as one comments more.

Or maybe it's fine to have some cheesy and low effort comments, because the more comments the better!

imgflip is not at fault....points don't motivate me to reply on most comments i get on posts

that is just a side extra, really

Freakin True, Very very true.

Yes

These mods are awesome

Really? Anytime I get comment action I have made an effort to respond to literally every single one. Or I used to before I got life happening. How about you don't worry about what other people do in their comment sections? Just saying.

Hey. Your comments aren’t bad. At least you’re actually talking to the person. Instead of just going like “LOL XDDDDDD”. People who do that to every comment are doing it for points, and points alone. I’ve seen enough of it to know.

I get that for sure. I have seen some vewry long threads with "yeah", " "ok" , etc... That drives me a little nuts. LOL

Yeah, those are just terrible, I mean while yeah, they do that to express their feelings in as little words as possible, it’s very hard to know what they mean by it

If you are talking to a friend, it's fine, but in business or in a job too, won't have that.

Yeah, You're totally f**king right about it.

LOL XD IKR 😂

That’s probably not going to happen

Wait wait wait wait wait, That's some dumb idea. Imgflip relies on every community to get advantage of all people around all countries it gets. Social media is just a priority if you used those, such as "Ikr" "SMH" "WTF" "LOL" "Lmao" "WTH" or "XD". That's why it's appropriate to people, even sometimes if cyberbully happens.

Why are you bringing geography and nationality into this? Language groups don’t rely on replying to every social media comment with “XD” or “lol”

Don't get me wrong.

XD can I say that without replying?

i agree with him for once

And/or are just an image of an upvote

LOL XDD HAHAAHAHAH LMAO XDDD HAHA SO FUNNY LMAO 😂😂😂🤣🤣

People want me to respond to their comments on my memes. They know I upvote all comments on my memes to maximize clicks, so they want me to reply.

Same!

That's how you gotta dew it.

Lol

would help if upvotes on the comment could be known they were from the meme owner so we don't have to comment back to acknowledge.

Why does it really matter to you though? You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to, but if others want to do it then let them.

🤣 reply
