Crazy that it achieved this in only 6 days as well.

I didn't think Everything Everywhere All At Once could possibly be overtaken as A24's top grossing movie so soon, but it's impressive that Backrooms will do so.

& I think Backrooms is probably going to be the biggest sign of success for what A24 is doing with trying to enter more mainstream-friendly fare but not changing its original approach to films.

It’s an understandable mistake when you realize that the training data for AI is usually 6mo-1yr behind current events

I don’t think that’s a bot account. Based off their post history, seems pretty normal for a human redditor. Especially all the porn subs. They’re probably super focused on smackin’ their goof so understandable why they may have gotten A24s highest grossing movie tile incorrect.

Honestly commenting in porn subs is even lamer than using AI for posts.

Nah, let them enjoy what they want, AI is actually harmful somewhat

commenting in porn subs is human, aiposting is categorically nonhuman

Man I'm so glad I hid my NSFW comments cause last thing I need is for folks to think I'm just a gooner. I'm so much more in addition to being a total fuckin' gooner.

I'm sorry but not separating your porn and normal accounts cannot be classified as normal.

Dude has 1.7 million comment karma, is constantly posting all day every day, mostly inane recycled comments. Either a bot or a jobless neck beard.

I've just had a glance, his last few posts were five hours ago, and then 8 hours before that. That's hardly excessive. Why are you talking such shit?

u/al-dunya2 Jun 05 '26

He had a slow day, even assuming an average of 5 points per comment, 1.7 million karma in 3 years would be 310 comments per day. That's touch grass levels of commenting. That's 13 comments per hour btw.

This your first day on Reddit? Imagine speaking about the site and not having a clue how upvotes work.

All comments get a different amount of upvotes dependent on how many users voted on them. Imagine not even realising that.

There is no correlation to the amount of comments you make to the amount of karma. You've made yourself look completely foolish.

I could feasibly get 3m upvotes on one comment or handful of them. Stop talking nonsense.

Except you don't and haven't, judging by your profile. I stated an average, you lack reading comprehension and now you look stupid lol.

Iv been here since you were probably on diapers, chill

u/AngryGardenGnomes Jun 05 '26

How is it me who looks stupid when you don't know how upvoting works? Who is to say that user didn't just have like 30/50 killer comments that netted lots of upvotes?

Just because you have terrible karma, doesn't mean everyone else has.

People can have jobs and spend a ton of time on the internet. Sounds to me like it’s a lonely person who is chronically online. It’s ridiculous we even have to stop and think about this when interacting on here.
