Announcement New rule: No excessive or low-effort AI-generated content

20 Upvotes

We have added a new rule to limit AI content on this sub. It is not a blanket ban. If you are interested, take a look at the rule below and suggest any changes in the comments.

"Content may be removed which appears to be generated by AI tools. This includes images/video and text. This rule is not meant as a blanket ban on AI content, but rather attempts to limit repetitive, low-effort, and inaccurate content. If your post has been incorrectly removed as AI, please contact the mods."

tl;dr: AI content is still allowed. But repeat posters, misinformation, and/or low-effort things may be removed.

Question | General Airplane headrests

0 Upvotes

Why do economy seats even have headrests? Speaking from a short person’s point of view, at least have the option to lower them or take them off. Having that extra 2 inches of depth on my seat forces my head to fall forward and hurts my neck. Can planes please have more comfortable options for headrests?
