Yawning Face on Reddit

What it signals here

upvote context

Sometimes used in upvote comments ironically on posts that are considered overdone, like recycled reposts or predictable hot takes.

community use

Common in subreddits like r/movies or r/music when a hyped release underperforms — 'saw it last night 🥱'

subreddit meaning

In r/relationship_advice and r/AITA, it signals exhaustion with recurring drama archetypes: 'another one of these posts 🥱'

karma context

Low-effort comments consisting solely of this emoji sometimes ironically gain karma when they perfectly capture community sentiment.
