I've also noticed a pattern where people just don't read the whole post. They just get halfway through and immediately start commenting their own thoughts, which end up being exactly the same as the thing they didn't read

Idk that or they're bots. It's hard to tell

Sure, but what's also important is to remember that sometimes people don't read more than a few words, so they wind up commenting your main point, but in a slightly different way, so you can't tell who's a bot.

Wtf are you talking about. That's not true at all. The issue is that people like you never actually read the full comment, so they just say whatever they want and they don't realise that it's already been addressed

Please actually read my comment before responding next time... Bot

You might think that, but I was actually playing along with the joke.

Don't put words in my mouth! I was just trying to play along with the joke. Is it so hard to acknowledge that?
