How nobody ever thought that this feature should work only on a few whitelisted communities where the possibility of a sad post is small, like pics or funny?
Because the administration of Reddit never thinks on the consequences of the half-baked features that they implement. They do it, then wait to see if the users rage. If the users rage, they change something and gaslight the users to cover their own arses.
It was the same with the chat feature, 3y ago. Excerpt from that thread: the admins added a “start chatting” button to /r/rape, then accused the moderators of /r/rape of doctoring a screenshot that showed it. And then edited their comments to remove said accusation.
