This bullshit on reddit is so fucking annoying. Say something confidently, say “everyone knows that” or “source: any historian” and get a handful of upvotes and that’s all you need to get a deluge of agreement from other redditors.
Those redditors will then go on to repeat it in exactly the same way.
And those redditors will do the same.
It’s fucking infuriating how much redditors bought into the “voters determine what is quality and what is not, we have democratised content” and literally use it as a guide for what is truth vs what is false in their ““learning”” about any given topic, followed by completely uncritically regurgitating the same thing again.
