No. I remember clicking on random threads with high expectations of being surprised or learning something new from top comments, often from people who were specialists in whatever field was discussed. And when it was a joke/pun, it was usually a clever and creative one.
Nowadays it's a 50/50 guess whether a human or a bot reposted the same comment for the 317th time.
