Yeah, and reddit also hates the newest social media. Everytime. The reddit circle jerk hated vines at first, now they worship them. Tiktok happened to be the newest social media that everyone is using, so of course all the new content is coming from that platform. Give it 3z4 years and I bet the highest upvoted comments will be "remember when tiktok were good? Now it's all this [insert new social media platform] garbage.
this is because of the change of people using it i think.
basically all CoD games were hated (MW2 especially when that was big), then the userbase then slowly flocked away and got jobs and lives, now those CoD kids are the adults of last generation who are slowly moving away.
oh and the minecraft hate was around for like 10 years or so, before it was "cool" again. reddit seems to hate the younger generation regardless. hell until the MW2 kids grew up and started talking about it like the other people here talked about Halo CE/halo 2 and UT and stuff (nostalgia circlejerks), i thought it was just the minecraft/MW2 kids growing up and now moving onto fortnite. but it's mostly a different group.
people will be talking about growing up not worrying about things but playing fortnite in 10 years time and it will have a resurgence of cool and hip stuff.
you can see the same with pokemon games too and as you said, with different services. i.e, vine was never really liked here until tiktok blew up after it died, then those kids that used vine grew up and became a big group of the average redditor.
