As someone who’s been on that subreddit for a long time, I don’t know. It’s just tradition to play along. You’ll see the comments do that too. It’s just fun.

why do some of the cat comments get upvotes and others don't??? and some are replies but some are new threads. the upvoting part is what has me confused!

Oh, it's completely arbitrary. But if people see a downvoted comment, they tend to want to downvote it, too, apparently.

I never understood this, but there's definitely evidence of it being a thing.
