Does anyone else find it a little sick that the most common threads on HeadFi tend to go something like:

Thread Starter: I just got ___new_product___ !!

Responder 1: Congrats!

Responder 2: Welcome to Team _____ !

Responder 3; Excellent choice. Congrats!

I wonder sometimes if our entire sense of "community" is based on needing social reward for our material purchases.

I'm a little freaked out by it actually. Am I alone in this?

Haven't bought anything new for ages. Don't see all that many threads of the kind you talk about either.

I think they are annoying and useless for the reader -- Someone starting a thread saying they bought product A or product B, and then someone else saying congrats.
You can have discussions about the performance of a product or ask for recommendations, but threads like the one you describe are pretty useless for others.

Don't be so hard on people it's a social thing and part of the fun here, and besides those congrats threads can evolve can't they?
And not allways in the direction the original poster intended.

You could just simply bypass the thread and not read it if it irritates you. For example, I would never mess around in a thread that praised the Sennheiser HD600s.
