About this entry
The template became a Reddit default by late 2015. The format: top panel = "don't like this," bottom panel = "prefer this."
When to use
- Quick "prefer this over that" framing.
- Tech / pop-culture comparisons where the two options are obvious.
When not to use
- Anything requiring nuance — the template forces a binary choice.
