Must be so easy being a sports journalist, just ask everyone about Messi/Ronaldo all the time, and get easy clicks.

    I used to work for a sports media page and half of my job was just refreshing this subreddit to source quotes about Messi and Ronaldo to post on Twitter/Instagram. Was always the top-performing content by a mile.

    That's also a method for getting upvotes here - find a news story where they asked some schmuck about who the GOAT is, post it here and get like 3K upvotes guaranteed.

    Every nonsensical Pep quote gets like 2k upvotes. On the most recent one, nearly all the comments were "Why is this upvoted? So tired of hearing from him"

    There's a load of casuals who just want to read the same crap again and again and again, they don't necessarily comment but they do upvote.
