If you can think of a question, it is almost guaranteed that someone has already thought of it and asked Google.
That if one person makes a good joke in a comment, and someone else realises it can be modified to be used repeatedly everywhere, by the end of the week, a bunch of twelve year olds have ruined that joke and everyone is divided neatly into people who find it funny for some reason, people who use it 'ironically' and people who end up avoiding the pages they love for fear of seeing the same joke again. *end rant*

That joining a group made up of thousands of others like you can make you feel like an "individual free spirit" as long as somewhere, someone has an immense hatred of said group.
