When you write it like that you make it sound like I wrote 16 comments that just said “I hate the guy I hate guy”
I’m not gonna count them, but of those comments about half aren’t directly about him but instead direct responses to people who I feel are misrepresenting what others are writing, short affirmations, and this one. Then finally we have the comment chain where I respond to the OP with expressing my lack of understanding for why people miss him. This comment then got some responses which I interacted with, partially sharing negative interactions about Ulysses and partially just sharing personal feelings. Those comments were all in response to other users responding to me.
That being said, yeah they’re about Ulysses. We’re in a thread about him, that’s why I’m writing about him. I’m also very open about how I feel like I’m wasting my time on this website and that I have a tough time letting go once I’ve started engaging with something, which is why I’m still posting, but again all of this is in response to others, which is why I’m saying it’s not as one-sided as youre making it out to be. I don’t see people making threads about how they’re glad he’s gone, or posting about how they miss him in unrelated threads.
My point is that while there are a lot of comments in this thread, the sample size of users posting in this thread is still very small. We can’t necessarily draw conclusions about the site’s general attitude on a topic based on the temperature of a thread with so few users posting in it. And my personal belief is that more people here liked him than didn’t, which I have no evidence for and don’t think this thread’s direction is strong evidence against.
Okay, but this is the bit of your comment I was responding to.
It’s just that people who dislike him are going to be more motivated to post about him at this point.
People who dislike him aren’t motivated to post about him. People who like him are, which then motivates people who dislike him to respond. I don’t see people posting negatively about him out of the blue, but I do see people posting positively about him out of the blue - and this thread is an example of that.
Feel like shit, just want him and his excessive emojis back.

People who like him make posts. People who don’t make comments on those posts. It’s pretty simple.
