Hey Pandas, What Annoys You The Most About Bored Panda Nowadays? (Closed)
Weekly tattoo mishaps, daily AITA posts, regular reddit reposts, etc. What annoys you the most and what kind of content would you want to bring back?
This post may include affiliate links.
#1
Can we be KINDER? Please? What happened to the "adorable animals" and "weird clouds" posts? Goofy posts that weren't cruel or anti-(fill in blank)? We NEED to be reminded of fun, good, happy things... Not judgmental AITA, not "AI" art, but feel-good stuff where we see human kindness and can agree on something? (For example, animals are adorable! Flowers are lovely! Funny signs I can deal with!)

This! When I found BP it was mostly comics and pretty pictures. It made my day. Now all the AITA and Entitled Parent posts put me in a bad mood and remind me of all the sucky things in the world. It's not fun anymore and I've really only been sticking around out of loyalty but I'm about done. I don't want to wake up each morning to find some new story about a neglected kid being forced to get creative to get out of taking care of someone else's kids, or some overworked employee maliciously complying with a horrible boss. It bums me out.

I love looking at the photos of animals and mysterious/beautiful places, historical perspectives, etc. I’m tired of SO many posts involving workplace issues. A few are OK, but I read BP for relaxation - not to get riled up about someone’s crappy boss or work environment. Unfortunately, that’s real life for many - not entertainment.

In the same article, even! You have time to edit "swear" words, but can't be bothered to check for duplicate content?!

i would prefer to see fewer Reddit reposts and more art/photography. i understand that the AITA posts get more clicks, but they’ve been taking over the feed more and more over the past few months. i also don’t like the product and/or movie posts that are clearly just ads for Amazon. i guess BP is doing what they can to make money and keep advertisers, but i miss the creative content.

I wish they had more comics and lists that are just good things, like people's adopted pets, or some nice memes, or cool things people made. It gets old to see the same lists that are just about how awful people are.

Reddit Copy (AITA)
Reddit Copy (antiwork)
Reddit Copy (mimimi someone wanted to 'karen' me out of my plane seat)
Mediocre AI art
Post your kitchen hacks (yes dammit I put salt in my pasta water, yes f**k I know about acid in seasoning, blah blah, this is getting boring as hell)
which are either copied from reddit, twitter, insta or - currently - on BP
Censorship, you know what. This is the internet, not a kindergarden.
And DONT YOU DARE to replace these with those ridiculous "Disney like" wannabe artists and "USA against the rest of the planet culture shock" articles.

That no one is kind to each other - people are either being shamed because of their gender/political views, or people are being shamed for being Christian. Does it matter if someone is gay or if they believe in God? Just be kind to each other. That’s all that’s needed. There’s always either a troll screaming at everyone for their gender, or everyone on the site making fun of people who believe in God. Can’t we all just be kind to each other?

I agree. They're as fake as the fake content about the fakery of AI. It concerns mainly the digital and graphic artists, photographers and public figures. But the concerns and topics where it's leading isn't in the BP articles. It's just "look what I can get the computer to do."
#23
I prefer posts with cute animals, cool artwork, food photography, funny comics, light hearted stories, and fun facts.
I am tired of seeing AITA posts and posts involving controversial topics such as politics. I think this site would be 100% better if most topics that are from either political party could not be posted. I also really dislike the hate that is shown on here for America. There are so many posts about how Americans are awful, ignorant, stupid etc. It makes me mad and sad that a lot of people berate my country. I know it has its issues but so does every country.
I wish this site would go back to being a light-hearted fun escape from reality. It used to be, but it has gotten away from that. Bored Panda and Pinterest is the only social media that I am on. But if Bored Panda keeps getting worse I’ll just stop reading it.

The downvote option is often misused. You hide and eventually block a user if their post or comment gets too many downvotes. I understand your intention is to punish offensive material ,but people don't all agree about what is offensive. Further, many people downvote things they simply don't like, even when others upvote and approve the same post. For example, someone posts pictures of their art or craft, or asks a serious question. Is it fair that people who post these can be banned? At the very least, I would prefer to see the number of upvotes and downvotes separately: this would be helpful, because it would reveal if a post simply got 10 downvotes or if it got 90 upvotes and 100 downvotes. You can still hide the content if the downvotes exceed a threshold value.

The fact that when you post on a post like this, there's no upload photo button, and on the posts where you CAN post a photo, it only lets you put text in the title, it doesn't let you put commentary underneath it... it seems you can only do that if you are an original BP staff member.

Yes, if it's posted with 100 posts, leave it at 100 posts, none of that "Note: this post originally had 53 images. It’s been shortened to the top 30 images based on user votes.", and click to see the rest.

I totally approve. Some "pandas" seem to have a popularity contest and win votes for the most dismal comments. It feels like a chat room from the 90s: "I love you!" "No me!" "You're so awesome even though I've never met you in real life! 😍😘 " "Hihi! No you! 😋😘💘❣💕 #love #amour #namaste"

Uugh! I saw one once and although I'm not an American, I felt sick to my stomach at so much prejudice and violence. There wasn't even any humour, kind of poking fun at the social clichés about this country, as we've seen for Canada, Australia and Ireland. Come on! Not all Americans are mean!

I love stories about weddings, creepy stuff people found in other people's homes, community posts, funny pictures. There recently was a post about how doctors/health care workers wondered how patients survived as long as they did. That was so fun/creepy/wild. Loved it! Also, I would love to have some posts about what is good/bad about other countries than USA and Japan. Let's explore ALL the countries on Earth together! :)

The shoddy alert/messaging system. Compare to something like Facebook, where you get a notification EVERY time someone replies to you or tags you. BoredPanda just seems to give you alerts w***y-nilly, and it's impossible to hold a conversation. Also, and maybe this is just me: I've got "Somebody replies to my comment for the first time" turned OFF in my settings, and I still get those alerts. Frustrating.
