I don't find that at all here. I find the kinds of discussions that happen here helps me see the potential in prompts I'd otherwise scroll past. On other memes there are things like 'I like this prompt but I'd like it better if it was a totally different pairing' or 'what if instead of the plot suggested by the OP, a different plot entirely happened', and that is prompt hijacking.
I'm also finding the discussions informative because I have read none of the tie-in material and had no interest in Star Wars after the last three movies came out, and the discussions are making me aware of more worldbuilding information that exists for this universe.
Yes, this exactly! sure there are always rude people who are actively trying to hijack prompts, but mostly there seems to be a lot of cool discussion that often inspires fillers. It's like extra publicity for prompts.
That said YMMV, always. Some people will be turned off a prompt by lots of discussion and some people will like it --because people like different things, and that's okay.
