Does this saying make anyone else cringe?

It almost fills me with rage. I see it a lot on Twitter/X and on here as a reply to someone’s unfunny comment.

How can you ‘win’ the internet?

& yes, I am fun at parties.

Aye, and it’s normally the most panny, unfunny comment too.

Oh lord I’ve been seeing this for 15 years (was on Twitter in the fairly early days)

Fair enough to find it annoying but personally there are things that wind me up much more!

This drives me mad too!

it's often said in response to some cliche/dull comments
it is always said by a dull person who is clearly in no position to judge a good comment let alone an internet-winning one
I know it's not that big a deal but this thread gave me the opportunity...

The OP's comment wins the Internet.

It had to be done.

I'm pretty apathetic about it. I don't LOVE it but it doesn't fill me with rage 😂

It's just a daft saying when someone has said something outstandingly funny.
It's as bad as people saying (name of celebrity ) must be protected at all costs. Usually when someone reports on Keanau Reeves or Jack Black.
