So many posts have people in the comments giving explanations for things in the video / picture that was posted but they too are just completely guessing or are only half right.

This becomes particularly apparent in subreddits you have a niche knowledge about. There’ll be a post asking why does so and so? And the top comment will have hundreds or thousands of upvotes but won’t actually be correct. Then when you reply and say well actually no, you get downvoted to oblivion with people saying I think they know what they’re on about they got loads of upvotes. Like of course they did because no one really knows much about many things so it sounds correct. I got 30 downvotes yesterday for replying to someone saying there are no uncontacted tribes in the Congo.

Never met so many armchair experts than on Reddit (particularly surrounding geopolitics) but after 9 years I do feel as if the hostility has increased. More and more you get called stupid for trying to point things out, and people seem less open to changing their mind because they’re a supposed expert on a topic because one time they saw so and so. Maybe it’s because Reddit’s age base is getting younger and because the platform is rapidly growing in users. Doesn’t help that on the internet people vehemently don’t like being called wrong.

I do like the discussion, and I don’t think every subreddit should be like r/askhistorians where there can only be one response or so, but I do feel like discussion is getting worse.

Anyway rant over enjoy

With earnings being so good I think we easily smash $1500 tomorrow and then hit $2000 next month

Would now be good to buy or is its pump over and it’s price flying back to reality.

Keep seeing people saying $300 by next week but Reddit is full of insanely bullish people.

You can now day trade as much as you want on Robinhood, no restrictions under $25000 anymore.

This will definitely change my investment strategies.

***Mods this is not a medical advice question***

I used to have very bad allergies to the point my eyes could barely stay open and I was constantly sneezing with a runny nose and rubbing my eyes.

Nowadays I barely have them, having to take an antihistamine a couple days a year as my eyes will sometimes feel off or my nose will start to run.

How did this happen? Did I get healthier? Is there something that just turns pollen allergy off? I never saw a doctor or anything like that ever.
