I know. I keep hearing about this. We should try to downvote every time this comes up. Surely we can scrub it from the internet in time.

oh damn I just saw I wasted my time responding to a bot. This post should actually be downvoted. Who in their right mind sets up a content forwarder bot from reddit to here? Keep that shit on reddit...
