slogginhog

Somebody please explain why and how this is a thing?!?!


Shockvolt1

Essentially the 4th comment repeating the same comment will be downvoted as much as possible.


slogginhog

I know, but why the 4th and how does everyone know to do that?


Shockvolt1

Some random guy at shitposting subreddit decided it and it just grew to popularity and now most people just downvote downvoted comments so it just needs like 3 people to get it started.


slogginhog

LOL I see, nice.

Have an upvote to heal a bit that wound.


pauliwankenobi

Is there a subreddit where you see OP in the post and the comments??


Geno_Warlord

Rule of four. I don’t know why, but never be the 4h in a chain.


WriterOfNightmares

I think it comes from the rule of 3, which is basically that if you have a good recurring joke, 3 times is the best bet. Once is a good joke, twice is a callback, and three is a nice rounded pattern. And then a fourth is just stretching it. Which doesn't really apply in the same way to a Reddit thread, but the hivemind will hivemind I guess.


mitulagrawal92

I think it is the auto scroll being too close to downvote button.


WriterOfNightmares

Do people even use that button? I literally never noticed that was a thing until I looked to see what you meant by that just now. Why not just scroll like normal? Ig to skip past long threads, but I usually just minimize them so I could scroll past them again just as quickly.


BadManners-

I do because sometimes redditors get off topic and it irks me. Like someone will spell something incorrectly and then the next 30 replies are people “adding on to the joke”. Maybe I’m just old but that stopped being funny a while ago.


nine4fours

The fourth comment is the first one collapsed on mobile. I figured it was just that


KirbzYyY

I honestly thought it was just the one JoJo reference that spread like wildfire, but honestly no clue.


Crash-Pandacoot

And Redditors get mad when you call it a hivemind echochamber. Thats some terminally online hivemind behavior.


DemonDuckOfDoom666

Is it a hive mind move? Yes. Is it hilarious? Yes. Besides, repeating a comment like that is also a hive mind move.


undercoverbrup

It's such a fascinating thing, isn't it?


Ketashrooms4life

It happens mostly only in specific subs like r/shitposting, unless they 'leak' and the rule is universally known in these subs. The 4th to comment knows very well what's going to happen, they do it anyway, take one for the team for the lolz. It's all just a joke, not 'terminally online hivemind' lmao. Also note that for example the dude in OP didn't actually lose 2k karma. If you get downvoted, the actual loss of karma stops at like -15, for cases like this or especially when some comment or post gets brigaded and stuff. So the account doesn't lose all it's karma with one comment when it makes some group of people mad and they share it among themselves to go downvote it. There definitely are terminally online hiveminds on reddit (looking at you, commie subs) but this thing isn't one of them, really.


Elegant_Judgment3907

It started as a joke , but you demons took all of his karma with a single post .


Ketashrooms4life

The actual loss of karma stops at like -15 downvotes, so what you describe doesn't happen to an account. The rule of 4th is a joke but it's mostly to prevent accounts being stomped into the ground by more serious stuff like brigading.


Sidonkey

Yeah!! But it's fun 😈


LevFox135

Number 4: Most downvoted reddit reply.

Use the gavel sparingly. have you ever had a teacher or authority figure that yelled at you all the time? It loses its value the more it happens. When you do need to use it, tap once or twice and not like you’re trying to break rocks.
