Ever since Aevann created a massive gay tag for effortposts and started giving them 4x dramacoin, incredibly wordy posts about shitty garbage have proliferated to no good effect. Many of these posts are low quality, repetitive, boring, talk about the same thing over and over again, and repeat themselves. Additionally they're over stupid subjects that the OPs should, instead of writing effortposts about, kill themselves for being interested in. Let's take a tour of some of these posts and give you all an example of what I'm Tolkien about.

The Great Gaming Layoff Event

The post that spawned this post, this post spends literally thousands of words bitching about the fact that worthless cute twink g*mertechies are losing their jobs by the hundreds of thousands, which is maybe the best thing to happen in the last ten years. He then compounds this by complaining about GAMING JOURN*LISTS losing their jobs as if that isn't a gift from God. No really, look!

Think of a good gaming website. One that provides quality writing. I'll wait. They don't exist anymore. Everyone's been fired. It's all AI. Resetera and /v/ are literally better than mainstream gaming sites, and some of them used to be good. Not even joking, there's probably like 100 people globally who have jobs in that industry and that number is only going to shrink. Even sites that used to be respected, like Eurog*mer, are relying on freelancers.

This BIPOC actually reads gaming websites and cares about the things that happen on them and expects people to sympathize with him that the g*mer monkeys were replaced with AI! What the frick is this thread?!

Not only that, he compounds it by featuring pics of some extremely mid g*mer chick (@August) throughout the whole thing. Really, just an abomination.

The Oxford Shooting Part 2 (also learning to cope without seething)

Another terrible sneedman joint, this one features sneedman boringly regurgitating the wikipedia on a tragedy for the benefit of dramneurodivergents who want to read a boring summary but can't be bothered to click over to wikipedia. This one also features shameless straggotry (@August) but is mostly just wordcount wordcount wordcount padded by more and more words as he goes note by note through the shooting as if this were WatchPeopleDie but for text.

Leafs have a month long struggle session about their neighbors.

As an example of some of the low-effort shit getting marked effortpost there's this shining example, which includes reddit screenshots, marseys, and this stunning contribution

I'm too lazy to write this up

Smell the effort, baby!

Oscar Nominated Shorts: Live Action / Animation - Impressions [SPOILERS]

I believe that this person watched all of these godforsaken pieces of oscarbait shit as much as I expect you to believe I read all of his incredibly boring post about them. I'm not even going to quote from this one, frick this, and frick you.

In conclusion I'm tired of doing this and I don't know if I've written enough words yet to be an effortpost so here's my neighbor chatgpt on this subject:

The Shitty Dilemma: How /r/Drama's Rewards for Effortposts Spawned a Flood of Low-Quality Content

Introduction:

In the chaotic universe of Reddit drama, where popcorn is always popping and tempers are always flaring, one subreddit stands out amidst the chaos: /r/Drama. But lately, this haven of digital chaos has found itself embroiled in its own drama, thanks to its well-meaning yet ill-conceived system of rewarding effortposts.

Effortposts, those laboriously crafted monuments of verbosity and verbosity, are the currency of choice in /r/Drama's quest for quality content. With promises of 4x points and boosted visibility in the algorithm, users are lured into the murky waters of long-winded rants and diatribes. But as the floodgates of effortposts open wider, the once pristine shores of /r/Drama are now littered with the detritus of low-quality content.

The Shitty Dilemma:

At the heart of the issue lies a fundamental paradox: by incentivizing effort, /r/Drama has inadvertently incentivized shittiness. As users strive to maximize their point gains and bask in the glow of algorithmic favoritism, the quality of content takes a nosedive.

Gone are the days of concise and witty commentary; instead, we are besieged by walls of text that would make even the most verbose neckbeard blush. Threads that once sparked lively debate and discussion are now buried beneath the weight of endless paragraphs, each more insufferable than the last.

The Rhetorical Rubbish:

But what, you may ask, constitutes a "shitty" effortpost? Is it the length alone, or is there something more insidious at play? Indeed, the problem runs deeper than mere word count. Shitty effortposts are characterized not by their length, but by their lack of substance, coherence, and relevance.

Picture, if you will, a rambling screed about the socio-political implications of a minor Reddit spat over the correct way to pronounce "GIF." Or perhaps a meandering treatise on the existential dread of being downmarseyd into oblivion by anonymous strangers on the internet. These are the hallmarks of the shitty effortpost: verbose, vacuous, and utterly vapid.

The Tyranny of the Tangential:

In their quest for points and prestige, users have abandoned all semblance of relevance and coherence. Tangents run amok, each more tangential than the last, until the original topic is but a distant memory. What begins as a discussion about subreddit drama quickly devolves into an incoherent rant about the merits of pineapple on pizza or the mating habits of the North American tree frog.

But amidst the chaos, there is a glimmer of hope. For as long as there are brave souls willing to wade through the muck and mire of shitty effortposts, there remains a chance for redemption. With vigilance and determination, we can reclaim /r/Drama from the clutches of mediocrity and restore it to its former glory.

Conclusion:

In the end, the fate of /r/Drama rests in the hands of its users. Will we continue to succumb to the allure of easy points and algorithmic favoritism, or will we rise above the tide of shitty effortposts and demand better? The choice is ours, and ours alone. So let us band together, dear readers, and take a stand against the tyranny of tangents and the scourge of verbosity. For only then can we truly call ourselves champions of quality content in the tumultuous world of Reddit drama.
