Because so many of those responses are just wholly uninteresting - they're just "basic" as the kids say (or used to say? I can't keep up anymore).
"Rich companies abuse copyright" - no shit.
"Copyright is unreasonably long" - no shit.
"It's absurd to think copyright needs to be that long to incentivize creation" - no shit.
Putting a sarcastic or "witty" spin on the above types of arguments still gets the same "no shit" response from me.
I have not read a single response of that form that I find interesting in the slightest, or adds new information, or makes an insightful point, and I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment!
