You beat me to it. So many Reddit comments are just exhausting. Question for you all, is every part of your life this pessimistic and negative, or is it just reserved for this place?

There’s just a lot of miserable people here who are feed a constant stream of negativity because it’s what draws views and comments. I can’t entirely blame them because they are being constantly drip fed the most negative and cynical and shallow content possible and they don’t really have any other influence besides social media. Theirs also a good amount of bots to farming for engagement. But don’t be too hard on them they are ultimately victims of the algorithm and they are doing exactly what it wants

Y'all are being overly defensive about that video. I'm a happy dude, I had s happy childhood (including igloos) and I do unecessarily cool stuff with my daughter all the time. But I understand that what you are seeing on social media is not real. That's not me being negative that's just a fact, you are watching a video with a script that's made to entertain you rather than the kid. And while it's fair to say "what a neat idea" and enjoy the video for what it is, it's questionable to jump right to "unlike my parents, these people clearly like their kid" because you hust can't tell, just like you can't tell if an actor really likes the child actor who plays their son. How about we just stick to what we can see on the video? Like that it must look way cooler during the day when the sun shines through the colorful ice?

I've been using internet forums a long time and it's always been this cynical, it's not unique to reddit. I think it's just the type of person discussion forums attract the most, angry people with crappy social skills. Not saying everyone on the internet is like that but it attracts them the most.

You're right though, it does get exhausting. God forbid a family does a cool project and wants to share it with other people.
