All I want is that top comments under posts are something insightful and related to the post, and not just the same one liner boring jokes that keep getting upvoted for some reason.

It's tiring to have to scroll half a page to get to any sort of meaningful information or opinion, then scrolling past and seeing 5 more of the same "and my axe!" "OK have u tried killing it with fire???" and some other overused, boring joke that's been parroted around for about 5 years. I get that with the size of a lot of the subs there will always be people who find it funny, but...it's just kinda lame, especially on posts that are meant to generate insightful and meaningful discussion, like learning posts, or trivia posts etc.
