    Complaining about non-existing things is a new phenomenon on the internet I guess. I haven’t seen a single person cheering about the billionaires’ death but I’ve seen dozens of people complaining about people cheering about their deaths.

    It’s like those upvoted comments in reddit threads where people say “number of comments in this thread about XX is disgusting” and you look for those comments and cannot find any.

      That’s just one from this thread. In other news threads the top two comments were people saying “good riddance” or something similar. I’d screenshot those for you as well but I now can’t find the threads in my feed because the feed updated and they got pushed down to god knows where.

        I mean if you specifically look for it you can of course find them, you can find people cheering for dead puppies and kittens too, there are maniacs everywhere. Thing is it’s far from being an overall attitude, it’s really really minority.

      This is indeed an annoying reddit / internet thing. It’s nothing but shit stirring.
