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.
