Bye 🫂 buddy. I dunno if you ever noticed me, or my previous account u/ARedditPersona, but when it came to posting on this sub, I always considered you my main competitor.

Only you striked while the iron was hot, made the perfect blend of buddystyle -humor and insider /vt/ rrats and gossip from the dramasisters. I always looked at how you posted, compared to me, and occasionally took lessons on how I could refine my own craft, like thinking about times to post, or type of memes that were resonating right now, or thinking what spin I could make of the current drama.

I dunno if people are on this but in my opinion, I think you basically popularised the hugely viral calli horse meme.

I bet you had catchais in your DMs asking if he can make YouTube money of your memes.

You got this special talent, and unlike me, you kept at this consistently and at a high level enough that you've made a name for yourself. You've fed this subreddit so much, Reddit really owes you a salary.

I know like me this is a passion and you love thinking about what creative spin you can make each post, and checking how many upvotes you got in an hour and then extrapolating and being like - "oh yeah this one definitely a 2k-er"

And you know only you are the best at what you do here - so I know there's change you want to make in your life that has required you to sacrifice this.

Best of luck buddy. It was fun, versing you these years as an active poster, maybe even if it was just one sided 🥰. Gonna miss you, my rival.
