    Those rules, if they work at all, nibble away at the flood of shitposting. They don’t even touch 1% of it.

    Meanwhile, though I cannot prove it, I suspect that those same rules block some large fraction of the truly insightful comments/posts approaching 99%, if not reaching or surpassing.

    Rules are what control freaks use to get their control freak hardons all turgid. They have nothing to do with reducing shitposting but serve to concentrate it all the more.
