You have a very generous view on what a friend is.
My view is more personal. And deeply connected.
Let me ask you this: What is a friend to you? Is it simply someone you know by mere acquaintanceship online, or is it someone who's got your back in times of trouble?
I do understand helping and supporting a friend. But in this case... Why something so superficial as a popularity contest from people you barely know?
Edit: And you completely missed what the joke was.
Misa asked how do you reddit vote, and I replied with obvious sarcasm.
