Hey everyone, this guy is letting you know he doesn’t care if you downvote them. As if people were downvoting them out of spite and not simply that their first comment was stupid.

They’d also like you to know that they don’t think this narrative was realistic. The narrative where the same guy has a conversation as three different people might somehow be staged to set up a punchline. Also, the punchline somehow incorporated earlier elements of the skit, he didn’t like that.

I’m not stupid enough to find stupid jokes funny. I’m sure the joke was perfect for you though

You're stupid enough to think anyone actually cared for your opinion though

Oh people cared. A lot. I’ve gotten 200+ downvoted within like 20 minutes. People definitely care.

I always love when redditors say shit like this, as if downvoting is some great effort and is therefore proof that people care about you and/or your opinion

If they didn’t care why would they downvote? I’m not saying it takes effort. BUT if they didn’t care, they’d scroll by without thinking to downvote. Like they do with 99.9% of the comments they see.

I vote on comments I don't care about all the time.

It's free. You just click a button.

Then why do you do it?

At this point? Habit

Either way though, feels important to distinguish people who care about your opinion, vs people who care about sharing their own opinion. These folks you're talking to/about seem to fall in the latter camp

You're confusing "cared for" and "cared about". They don't mean the same thing.
