What is the point?
You are currently reading a thread in /qa/ - Question & Answer
Why do people make the same thread over and over, but are otherwise not forcing a may-may and the replies never go beyond the standard "this is uninteresting to the general population" numbers?
Why does this happen? What is the larger game?

Autism
Well, when I do it, it's because I find it very amusing to find out how many times I can do it without people noticing. There's a pretty large number of people browsing the board so the chances are high I'll get someone new. It's fun to see how time of day affects discussion of the same subject.

Autism and /pol/ go hand in hand.
Here's one of the other ones.

That's so stupid though why don't you do something that isn't retarded
>>510857
You need a better hobby.

I'd ask the same of you, but you'd be unable to provide a valid answer.

I have plenty of hobbies, this is just one of many. I also don't do it nearly as frequently as the linked examples, though if I were to, you realize it takes like ten seconds to make the post, right? Not exactly a huge part of the day.

Fair enough, barring the topic itself isn't complete diarrhea.
Some of it is bots and autoposts remember when those fags from democratic underground shilled here?
Remember 'stormweenie' or 'shitlord' that was those morons.

I like doing subtle things that people never expect to see like sage replying to threads on page 10.

Some people are just lonely.
SECOND WIND
Teenagers with lots of time, and mentally ill adults.

That's very mild autism compared to what /v/ sees and saw.

But that's my point. This is consistent AND not a damn thing. It isn't a countdown and there isn't informational drift and memetic mutations. It's just the same stale post every day. It's not even very good bait; The best thing you can say about it is "Family Guy did that first."
Also, back in the day, on /tv/ we did have posts like the shit in your picture. People would post daily countdown threads for Summer Glau... doing something. Being in a new series? I don't know.
This is just so weak, it's like grass. Not even flowers. Just grass.
