Facebook comments on public group posts are completely pointless.

Facebook is totally worthless now that they force content on you and fill 99% of your feed with it. But I still go there sometimes to view "memories" from earlier times when the site was a vibrant space, full of discussions with friends and family.

Today I decided to browse the feed a little bit, hoping to see some updates from friends. Of course that is impossible now, and instead my feed is full of pictures of celebrities I don't care about from 20 years ago, MMA crap, and pictures of Miley Cyrus. But one of those pictures was kind of interesting and I clicked it to see if there's any discussion on these posts like there is here or on Reddit. Nope! There was thousands of comments all saying the exact same thing. Everyone was commenting "legend!" or "absolute legend!".

What drives people to be the 4432nd person to reply with the same word as everyone else? I checked another random post and it was more of the same type of comments. I just flat-out don't get that platform anymore. It used to be really useful for keeping in touch with people, and sometimes even really enjoyable. Now it's pure garbage. I don't understand why they have made the changes they've made and more importantly, I don't understand why people comment the same things over and over.
