I’d much rather have /s than comments that start with, or just say:

This.

Absolutely annihilates my patience towards humanity.

It made more sense on forums and imageboards but how it became popular on a site with built in voting I'll never understand. Just people looking for attention and validation I guess.

I don't see any problem with comments that start with "this" and then expand on it. It's a synonym for "I concur," but doesn't sound snobby
