I was going to make a thread complaining about the state of the internet but found this and figured it was easier to post here than create another shitty OP in Gen.
The thing that makes me unfollow a thread or cow is not the cow or content but the community that follows them
There are two things that really turn me off from a cow/thread
#1 The community devolving into moral puritanism where the responses and replies to content are nothing but "omg gross wow I'm so morally superior to this person ahaha isn't it funny how they're moral failures! ahahah I would NEVER do this" no shit faggot that's why they have a thread and you don't.
I hate this because it's just upcummie farming, begging for those semper fis and agree stickies and it's so fucking gay.
#2 when a thread/subject/cow gets popular enough that catchphrases or other repetitive bullshit become the majority of the contributions to the thread.
#3 when a thread gets big and then new people start flooding in and the culture of the thread and it's no longer fun to engage with the content.
It's cringe inducing watching people act more faggy than the subject of a thread. I don't know why so many people beg for ass pats by reminding the entire site that they are, in fact, morally superior to a furfag with an inflation fetish, or a schizophrenic, or a dog-fingering tranny pedophile.
I stop following threads when the community around the thread becomes a parody of itself, and it's no longer fun to participate with a bunch of retarded faggots.
