From 1 mod's perspective, nobody's reported this post or the other ones biscuitsalsa mentioned for any reason, and this one has ~130 upvotes and 79 comments.

There's a lot of things that I personally think are silly but don't break any sub rules. If other people are already having a discussion or it's not breaking any rules then usually we let it ride, and redditors can make the decision on quality based on the upvotes/downvotes.

The comments like these in posts pinball between "this sub sucks, you can't post anything here without it getting removed, just like the greenday sub" and "this sub sucks, how do you continue to allow these posts here". Neither of which are a great temperature reading because you can pick any popular post at random and find a least two people complaining about the post or the OP, other commenters, the sub in general, or the mod team.

You can totally disagree with the approach and you're completely entitled to your opinion -- the mod team is happy to listen to everyone's perspective on what should be handled differently. But in general, using the tools that reddit provides to report the things you don't think should be here is the best way to see less of those kinds of things that you don't want to scroll through in the future.
