But for me to know that it should be in c/meta I would've had to already figure out that it was a default setting applied site-wide, which we've already established I'm too stupid for.
The main thing that establishes you as stupid is that your first choice was to think it was a conspiracy, and not only ask there first but also attempt to justify it with made up reasoning.
But you're just as dumb as I am if you think there are no bot farms on this site.
I don't. I'm referring to this specific situation.
Yes, I'm smart enough to ask admins about a site behavior, instead of first imagining my own theories and asking if it's a conspiracy, and you're an idiot for making that conclusion before doing a lick of research
Then you're an idiot for thinking that's the takeaway you should be getting here. I already told you asking questions is a great way of gaining knowledge.
Framing it as a potential conspiracy before doing any research is what's stupid.
