most of the responses are meta-unfunny-hiveminded statements like "20 upvotes and this goes to..." or "common ... W/L" or picking up non-existent shitpost culture references like "amogus lol" or "divorce? is that barking bed reference LMAO" and spitting them in the comments in the shape of an ungodly swarm of Big Brother's sheep. Instead of responding to a good joke by adding to it or encouraging OP, The internets give you a chance to create an identity for yourself with no constraints, one that distinguishes you, like a password, one that only you can imitate. And you choose the sheep.
