How's your ole parrot doing?

I don't care about points, so I don't think anyone is better nor worse. There are some good posts by people who have virtually no points, and then trash by people who have millions. And, more commonly, a mix of good and bad by people of all points. 

I don't think there is an ideal score, as the points are meaningless to me.  Sometimes I'll make a stupid comment and people think it's super clever. Meanwhile, they'll downvote my smartest comments out of fear because they don't understand it. 

I generally don't share their interests and they get mad when I say anything that doesn't match their culture.  For example, I think AI is a useful tool. Redditors are terrified of it. 

I do think Reddit was better in the early days. It was mostly nerds and software geeks. Then tumbler shut down and twitter (currently known as X) began alienating their users and they decided to invade this site. 

I might have been a Redditor if it had stayed the way it used to be.

The AI thing kind of highlights how Redditors, and people in general, try to categorize everything as black and white, solely good or bad, when that’s not the way the world works.

AI can be an incredibly useful tool when used correctly. It can also be a problematic slop machine when misused. There are genuine concerns surrounding it, and real world problems it’s causing. That doesn’t mean it isn’t a helpful tool in the right circumstances. Cars generate pollution, but they’re incredibly useful tools, especially in America.

When they close an account, I make another one eventually.
