  • You report channels for having different tastes than you? Whether you like the clickbaity thumbnails or not (Majority of us here on Lemmy don’t like them, myself included), we’re quite the minority. Clickbaity thumbnails work, otherwise we wouldn’t see them.

    You’re calling the cops on a store owner because you don’t like their advertising. They’re not the ones abusing something, you’re the one abusing the report button.

    Many of them are, many of them aren’t. Largely due to the passing of time, jokes that may have been a hit when these were written just aren’t funny in today’s society.

    Alternatively, and also very true, even the greats have bad works. Not every piece will be popular and funny.

    In this case… Yeah, I’m not getting it either. Could be a piece about altered expectations. One would expect classy/classical music in a big home like this, blues just wouldn’t be “right” in this scenario.

    Do you assume right-handed english-style writing to be the default way everyone writes the world over, in all languages?

    This is just my high talking, but I believe our right-handed dominance is tied to our language being written left to right. Had our ancestors chosen to write from right to left, perhaps we would be a left-handed dominant society.

    If you believe there is an objective reason one is better than the other, then I’m all ears.
