View submission: Is OP backlash a thing?
Perfectly stated. Those rare OPs like your "with rice" example though? When they have the insane hot hand? Those always stand out to me both on the merits and for exactly this meta we're talking about here and I love finding one in the wild.
I agree that this is the bulk of the matter, especially because it seems like comment trajectory is established early, and those early vote/comment contributors are wont to take this tack towards OP. Layer in some of that "did it contribute" vs "validation" voting patterns and that is pretty much the story.
Edit to add: OP_en_fuego or something would be a nice but dead as hell subreddit for such cases
There's nothing here!
