    There was a while when people had these copy/paste lists of the most common reddit sayings (shit like 'you have win the internet today'). When somebody said one of those sayings, they'd reply with the list as if to say 'you're being boring and uncreative and I'm calling you out'. Then eventually people started calling those people out for being repetitive and uncreative by posting the list.

    Self aware reddit is the fucking worst. It's almost never about anything but users feeling ownership over their experience on the website despite interacting with thousands of other people at once. I honestly think it has nurtured a hatred in the minds of extremely online people and contributed to things like gamergate.
