Like with jokes, I don't so much mind the existence of such threads so much as the fact that they are short and easy to both create and digest, which means they get upvoted more quickly and rise to the top.

New users need to know this and stop upvoting low effort comments by default. I don't know if there's any way to enforce this, so it's a cultural thing that only peer pressure from other users can affect.
