>This is nothing new.

I feel like this comment has some good content and could hold its own without this statement. It just feels a little antagonistic. Everything has been done before, we're all on the shoulders of giants.




I appreciate a quick summary of a longer comment. Being aware of the context I can more easily skim without missing anything.


This is no different from the "first" comments in youtube or when sharing a meme to a friend that has already seen it and says "I've seen that already" instead of discussing essence of the content itself.
