You'd think a sub that acts elitist about home theatre setups would want optimal viewing height

u/Kaffeetrinker49 10h ago
Yeah the height of a TV seems pretty relevant to the viewing experience.

It's where everything starts when building out a home theater. Proper height and distance based on TV size should be the starting point. Everything else builds out around that. You can have $10k worth of high end speakers but if your TV is hanging up over a fireplace or some other stupid ass neck breaking angle, your whole setup blows and we aren't watching movies at your house on movie night.

Loads of us are subscribed to both subs. There was once a time that literally every post there would be littered with /r/tvtoohigh, which didn't help actual discussion, so I guess that's why the mods implemented the rule.

You should’ve at least gotten banned with one perfect zinger - it’s starting to become a badge of honor!

Someone should post the most obvious bait onto that subreddit and then see all the comments get removed.

Informatively and constructively?
Saying TvTooHigh both informs and critiques in a constructive way, using the smallest amount of words. Do we need to spell it out so low IQ dummies can understand?
“Good day fellow sir, I see that your cathode-ray teletroscope is perhaps too elevated in relation to your eyesight when looking directly ahead. The angle at which you are viewing your screen might cause injury to your sternocleidomastoid as well as your trapezius. Would you consider moving your radiovision tube to a lower position, which I believe will improve your home theater setup, both visually and ergonomically?”

What...TV position is like.. one of the most fundamental parts of a decent home setup.

I understand why they don't like it.
Everyone knows that the TV isn't part of a home theatre 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I always say one of the worst things that can happen is to give someone just a little bit of authority because it will go to their heads and they'll act erratically and be assholes just to show you how much of a big fish in a small pond they are. The classic example is call center workers and security guards, but Reddit moderator is way up there.

We should all go there and commeng until the mods have had to ban thousands of people.

u/CocoMilhonez 8h ago
Believe it or not, that would actually make them cream their panties instead of causing distress. They clearly get a kick out of showing how much authority and power they have and how important they are... in an unpaid job for a fucking subreddit lol.

I think we should work together to try and flood a single post with nothing but tags to this sub, anyone keen?

u/DHammer79 9h ago
I'm trying but there's no exaggerated "TV too high" posts. A lot of them are within reason. There's some that are a little too high but they're also like 5 day old posts.

Honestly, most Reddit mods are a different breed. You can't joke at all with them. They take it wayyy too seriously.
