Consider the possibility that people do come here, look around, say "What a bunch of assholes!," and then leave.

Even worse, consider the possibility that people do come here, look around, say "What a bunch of assholes!," and then think "I've found my people."

Okay, that would be worse. But it's probably mainly paid disruption trolls, like those claiming to be flat earth believers. Make the experience of a site unpleasant enough and smart people depart.

I really doubt the most annoying people here are paid unless you mean other sites paid then to leave and come here instead.

There's just a lot of low level petty bitching, paranoia and cliqueyness when you first come.

I remember when GC first came over and guys were seriously arguing if they couldn't call them all sluts in the comments without being banned then the sub shouldn't be on s/ all, then they started sealioning.

It might be funny for half an hour but then decent people won't stick around on the site.
