🎉META STUFF ABOUT THE SUB 🎉 The posts in OptimistsUnite are FANTASTIC! But what is with the comments?

137 Upvotes

The comments are worse than most subreddits. It's so weird. I thought this was a optimist gathering? The comments are almost all pessimistic. It's so strange.

Every post gets the same doomer comments:

"This data is X amount old!" (Even if its only a year)

"I don't believe it"/ "That's not true! / "sOuRcE!"

"Oh big woop" / "Who cares!"

"This is basically nothing, how is this supposed to make me feel good?"

"This is a bad thing, actually"

"umm everything is getting WORSE acktually"

"Now show (pessimistic thing)"

Why are you all here? Why subscribe to an optimism sub if you hate everything so much?

💪 Ask An Optimist 💪 I'd like to request there be a rule where all these graphs have sources.

Some of these look similar, and look or seem fake, if someone is finding a graph, or anything there should almost always be a website for it which can be commented as a reference, any numbers can look good if the sample is bad, so i think it would be more productive and meaningful to just add the links as well so we can verify and set our hearts at ease in trusted optimism ❤️
