My kneejerk response is to downvote you, but I'm bigger than that.

I'll just refer back to IDIC: Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.

It might get old for you, but other people enjoy the creativity of combining things in new and interestingly subtle ways.

The problem is that circumstances often compel us to do what is popular. If McDonalds buys out all the restaurants nearby, realistically you will have to eat a big mac if it's late and you don't have time to cook. If Cards Against Humanity is the coolest thing ever and all your co-workers play it every day it's in your interest to play it with them. Popular things bear upon your life whether you want them to or not, so it makes sense to work to get rid of popular things that one doesn't like.

The problem is that even though there's an "infinite" number of combinations, they're all just some form of "edgy"/gross-out humor.

It's just not that interesting after a few hands.

You seem unwaveringly convinced that your opinion of a card game is strongly relevant to a) the article, b) other people.
