Or people don't find anything wrong with sarcasm, it's just your comment that is a low effort one.

But what I can tell you is that I made similar low effort comments that got high upvotes. The key difference is that those comments have a positive sentiment.
I sometimes make comments like the above to test the hypothesis: negative sounding comments get downvoted.
I find it interesting because I’ve learned that if I want to be relatable then I should be positive. Even when a negative comment is thematically appropriate (like the one above), the chance of it being downvoted is still quite high.
I think it’s easier to be critical when negative affect is in play.
I find it fascinating to see both sides of the story.
