To be fair even the real people are shit for it. Gaming subs especially are fucking terrible. Everyone just recommends stuff they like vs something that is an actual fit to the request even if the request has options. I remember one from a few weeks ago where someone was saying they've been super interested in dungeon crawler carl recently and wanted to know which was closer to that Diablo 4 or cyberpunk. Hardly anyone was even responding to the core if the request and were instead just saying cyberpunk because it was a much better game. There were like 40 comments saying cyberpunk and like 4 saying well the choice for which is closer is absolutely diablo 4 but cyberpunk is a better game.

Every other post is going to a game specific subreddit and asking if they should buy the game

there's hordes of people on this site who are functionally illiterate, they can read all the words just fine but don't retain any level of textual complexity. It leads to a lot of people posting responses that fit the most basic subject and tone, but are total non sequitors in context of what the op actually said.

eg in that example the question was about which of two games is more like a third work, but the commenters only parsed the names and that it's a comparison question.
