No it's not. Sarcasm and satire have been popular in writing for literal thousands of years. Only in the last 10 years did we need to start writing /s. I think reddit in particular made it popular in large part because of the upvote/downvote system. Which usually runs on momentum and the first few downvotes or upvotes decide whether everyone else will upvote/downvote. And so people write /s to be safe because if some idiot misreads the comment then it could get downvoted to oblivion. --- https://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png ... Copied to Clipboard! |
