The Human Spider is so dead

quick question
why do you hate upvote begging so much?

Reposts are illegal on the fun stream, right? And there is a separate stream for reposts.
Reposts are just memes that are copying someone else for upvotes.

Upvote begging is just as dirty.
It either asks for upvotes, complains about upvotes, or idolizes upvotes.

But upvote begging isn’t actually illegal on the fun stream… yet.
But go upvote beg on upvote begging streams all you want. Just not on the fun stream.

You sly dog! You had me monologuing!

yes but also upvote begging doesn't hurt anyone and people don't really gain anything besides pointless internet points from doing it so there isn't really a point to doing it but there also isn't really a point to hating on it since it doesn't affect other people and it just kinda exists

“Pointless internet points”
Exactly, so why beg for them

Sadly, it doesn’t just exist. Because it makes the front page a lot. That makes people think that it’s cool to do so they upvote beg even more.

even if they make the front page the person doing it doesn't really gain anything meaningful

and it's easy to just scroll past and ignore it

there isn't a point in attacking or fighting with someone for doing it since they're just trying to get pointless internet points which is pretty dumb but attacking them for wanting something pointless is also just- pointless

Exactly so why are they begging for it? It’s pointless.

The reason it made the front page is that people didn’t scroll past it. That’s the problem.

Getting them to stop asking for internet points is pointless… how bout no. What you think every single comment should be positive no matter what?

there's not point to beg for it but for the same reasons there's no point in attacking someone over it

true but even if it does make the front page you can just ignore it and it doesn't affect you at all

i don't think that i think that if you see one and you want to do smth like that it's just a better use of everyone involved's time if you just ignore it and move on

Exactly, so once they stop, I stop.

I should only attack someone for upvote begging if it affects me directly? Absolutely not. I’m not going to do it because it “affects me.” That would be a selfish thing to do.

It’s a better use of your time to make an actual meme on the fun stream and save the begging memes for the begging stream.

it doesn't affect anyone really not just you

true but it's a better use of your time to just ignore memes like that if they want pointless internet points who cares?

If they want pointless internet points so much that they feel the need to ask for it then go do it on that stream.

The fun stream is for fun stuff like humor.

yeah but them being there doesn't affect anyone

and attacking people who do it is making it happen more since nowadays most of them are just to see how people will react

“Yeah but them being there doesn’t affect anyone”

The fact that there is an upvote begging meme taking a slot in the front page where an actually good meme could be is most definitely affecting people.
We are now choosing to upvote someone’s meme begging for upvotes rather than an legitimate meme.

I can’t wait to see a front page full of people asking for their memes to be upvoted rather than actual humor that the imgflip fun stream is meant for.

“and attacking people who do it is making it happen more”

Nope. Very few people I call out for upvote begging ever do it again. And even fewer people than that upvote beg just to see how people like me react, which if they do, most of the time it isn’t on the fun stream.

By the way, this is a nice “quick question” you’re asking.

you don't have to upvote it if you don't want to but you can always just scroll past it and it doesn't affect you

that wouldn't ever happen though there are some who want those internet points for who knows why but the majority of the memes there are normal ones

you'd be surprised how many times i know of an upvote begging meme who the person who posted it did it for the reactions

ikr very quick

“You don't have to upvote it if you don't want to”
Wow I didn’t know that. Really?

You don’t have to upvote any meme. This isn’t specific to just upvote beggars in that matter. The fact that upvoting is optional doesn’t mean that asking for upvotes was justified.

“but you can always just scroll past it and it doesn't affect you”
As I said before, yes it does. In fact it got to the front page because people weren’t scrolling past it.
The fact that there is an upvote begging meme taking a slot in the front page where an actually good meme could be is most definitely affecting people.

“That’ll never happen”
I’m not getting my hopes up.

“but the majority of the memes there are normal ones”
Thankfully.

“you'd be surprised how many times i know of an upvote begging meme who the person who posted it did it for the reactions.”
I’ve seen zero. Are you talking about “how popular can this get?” Or are you talking about memes like “let’s trigger TheLargePig by upvoting this meme and getting it to the front page?”

Asking for a meme to get to the front page isn’t a reaction meme. That is literally asking for upvotes.

In response to your tagline. I can't change your mind, it's just plain fax
