The reason these copy cats exist is because every stupid "introduce yourself" was getting a ton of upvotes. I personally believe a very small percentage of them represent actual people introducing themselves truthfully. Some interesting creative writting, sure, and maybe I'm just cynical, but most of the content seems to be built to get upvotes rather than people actually upvoting interesting content. As soon as someone does make a post in some random topic that gets a bunch of upvotes you can be sure there will be a billion copies of that as well. The solution is to pay more attention to the content we are individually supporting instead of trying to bandwagon onto popular ideas for the rewards.
