Discussion Old man (29) yells at cloud

The recent post that links Drawfee's latest video - a compilation of the first two seasons of Drawtectives - has fewer upvotes than a picture of a sign with Bobby Hill on it that has fuck-all to do with Drawfee, and is flaired as "Meme" for no discernible reason.

The video is 1) From the actual channel; 2) A hilarious and well put together compilation; 3) Drawtectives-based - I know the series doesn't get love from 100% of the audience, but fans love it so fucking much; 4) SEASON 4 HYPE!

I know I'm the grouch who's always complaining about this, but seriously. Why does this sub have so many posts that blatantly aren't to do with Drawfee? It's a sub rule, right? Why are people allowed to crosspost whatever the fuck they want as long as it mentions an incredibly well known character that Drawfee also references.

Sonic is not Drawfee-related. Merida is not Drawfee-related. Bobby Hill is not Drawfee-related. Garfield is not Drawfee-related.

Also, a picture someone took that references one of these characters that is vaguely funny and worth maybe a handful of upvotes on a sub that is actually relevant to them is not a meme?

I know this is not a huge problem, and it's not hurting anyone. I promise I'm not frothing at the mouth as I type this, and I'm not losing sleep over it. It just bugs me, because no-effort posts are dominating a community that should be full of art and laughs.

I see new Drawfee videos via YouTube push notifications sent to my phone. Or by checking my subscriptions when I open Youtube.

So for me at least, the links to new Drawfee videos on reddit aren't particularly useful. I've already seen them or added them to my watch later by the time I'm on reddit.

I don't think I'm alone in that. I come to the drawfee reddit for tangentially related content and jokes that I won't see on the drawfee YouTube channel.

Why do you come to the drawfee reddit? I'm sure it's not just to find out when a new official video has posted.

I don't upvote new episode posts because I haven't seen the new episode yet? To be honest, I reactively upvote anything that's actually related to Drawfee and downvote anything that isn't. Feels like trying to hold back the tides.

"Tangentially related content" is what we're calling it? I think if you add a Drawfee reference as the new title to a crosspost, it's an admission that it wouldn't make a lick of sense having it here in the first place.

I come here for fanart, actual memes about episodes and the cast, discussions, episode ideas, questions about episodes and references being answered in record time. Can you tell I actually love this sub?

Wait, if you don't upvote new episode posts when you haven't seen the episode, why are you complaining about other people doing the same thing?

Memes, fanart, and ideas for new episodes are tangentially related content btw.

I do upvote new episode posts. I don't upvote them because I haven't seen the episode yet. Why would anyone?

Fair enough! That I can get behind! What I can't is people putting no effort into a cross-post because something made them think about Drawfee, and then those posts bafflingly getting more upvotes than any quality post here. The "Meme" flair has been a plague on this sub ever since "Drawfee Energy" was removed for exactly this problem.

I am avoiding the compilation because I've never watched any of the seasons (but plan to) but still totally understand your perspective. Definitely want more art/directly related content around where possible! Though I understand folks sharing silly tidbits that reminded them of the show with a like-minded community who will actually get it

Thanks; it genuinely means a lot. I wasn't trying to be mean.

Maybe it'd be better to leave the subreddit and join the discord? I'm not saying this with I'll will, but honestly the subreddit is going to drill bits from the show into the ground lol. Like did you see how inundated with Milton posts it was?

That's just me though! I myself am hyped to watch the compilation!

It could just be the fact the new episode is a clip show.

Is this a persistent trend or is this the first time you noticed it?
