complaining about downvotes and upvotes is a shitty post, not a shitpost

I don't do it but I "get" it.

For the last oh I don't know- ever? Americans don't give a shit about anything until a celebrity dies, and days later they no longer give a fuck.

When I was in my 20s (dating myself here- old man shouts at clouds) and Michael Jackson died, the record store I worked at sold out of every Jackson album in about 45 minutes- as if no person had ever listened to their music before. It's fake- performance art of the public. We reordered 10 times our normal stock amount and by the time it came in 2 or so days later, nobody gave a shit any more and we had to send most of it back.

The average American is so dumb- like goldfish. We've all heard the joke right? Maybe a 3 second memory? If it's not in the headlines TODAY, it doesn't exist to most people. It all just feels so disingenuous and fake. It feels as if most people's reaction is just performance.

It's a conundrum. I want to upvoter Dolly, because she was incredible. I want to downvote news of her passing, because it makes me sad

Let's keep posting and upvoting All Things Dolly! For two reasons: 1. Dolly Parton is awesome. and 2. It will piss off #47 that Ms. Parton is getting more attention.

What is the picture from?

Gonna make a ruling on this one.

Anyone saying anything negative about Dolly is a terrible person.

I’m out of the loop, what’s this about ?

Wait we’re supposed to downvote posts?

Downvotes post

I downvote people who complain about downvotes cause it gives me a little chuckle.

It's me.

1. I routinely downvote "this celebrity died" type posts, because I don't care and I think it's low-quality content, especially when it's used as a vehicle to insert celebrity 'news' into communities that don't normally cover that kind of thing

2. I never much cared about her or country music, and I also tend to downvote things I find irrelevant and I don't care about

3. This one in particular seems to be generating a ton of posts all over the place, and I especially dislike hearing about it over and over again
