    If that is the case then literally every single fourth comment would be downvoted, and scrolling through r/AskOuija would be a tedious mess

    The mods got the rule wrong; the rule existed before the sub did and its almost always for chains, not just any reply

    1 points Si1verThief

    If you aren't into generic creepy Minecraft ARGs, then don't expect too much; I was rather underwhelmed, tbh. It's got decent sound design and editing but very weak believability and the narrative is a bit lazy IMO, lots of relying on unknowns instead of good writing.

    Not even vaguely comparable to Ish's MC Civilisations video...

    parent root
    1 points marc0theb3st_

    Brother, did we even watch the same video? There are no jumpscares or generic creepy entity, it's based on a Lovecraftian horror, and the protagonist is the most unique arg protagonist I have ever seen

    parent root
    1 points Si1verThief

    I mean unless I missed something, there very much is a generic creepy entity the "thing that follows him", and I never said there were jumpscares.

    Look if you enjoy it that's fine, for me, there were too many plot holes to get immersed, and I found the story lacking.

    In fairness, I probably came in expecting too much (thanks Ludwig), but I was promised a cinematic masterpiece and ended up with a dude editing creepy sound effect_01 over a command block destroying torches while he runs around in his Minecraft world. I'm probably being too harsh but that's how it felt to me...

    parent root

    To be clear it's not a bad video, but I don't think I'm the target audience... And neither are any of my friends who've watched it so far.

    I’m guessing it’s bc the third time it was typed in the video there was a typo (as the message was repeated 7 times there were more and more typos to show the protagonists fear/urgency/unravelling mental state or something). I’m not checking the video tho

    (Also that’s a weird reason to downvote bc they’re already breaking from the pattern by adding “…”)

    Or it could just be that people are finally getting tired of huge chains of people repeating the same thing over and over again, tbh whenever I see an “and my axe” chain, I downvote
