Rant

Soapbox

I enjoy this sub. I really do. But one thing I don’t enjoy are comments that are just huge massive lists of films. A typical post here is asking for a recommendation, or a few personal favorites, or topic-specific suggestions. And then someone drops a comment listing 15, 20, sometimes 30+ movies. That’s not helpful. If you genuinely have a recommendation, awesome. Share a few that actually mean something to you. But dumping an enormous list often doesn’t help the OP, it clutters the thread, and it doesn’t spark discussion. Why even bother contributing another comment when someone has already taken a massive list dump naming practically every movie under the sun? Anyway, my point is that the longer the list, the harder it is to find the thoughtful recommendations buried underneath. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Downvote me to hell and spit on my grave.
