chim Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I still like Reddit, but I never expected it to stay the same. I steer clear of most comment sections and only go there for the links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamos scorcho Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 I'm definitely done with the place, as I've deleted my every comment and my account. This thread is just my break up note, and hate note to the place. Something Reddit is extremely well at articulating, is that the herd always despises creativity. Any real creativity, or anything that goes against the grain, is considered an enemy. The people will lash out like apes. Frankly, it's hard to believe. I'm not raving at the mouth here, more just amused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 i never got reddit. i was there like 5 times in my life and it seems like a drag. this also like 98% of the memes I see shared from there are as funny as a clown with chronic depression who on the day he's supposed to get his mandatory 25 years of clowning badge gets a call from his children saying they hate clowns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hautlle Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 You're right on the nose that it's totally lowest common denominator, reposted, stupid content 95% of the time. Just find some smaller subs that are interesting and ignore/unsubscribe from the rest, especially the default subscriptions of /funny etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hautlle Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Reddit is like Twitter to me. I have no clue why it's so popular. It's an easy way to waste time. I've been back to using digg lately because reddit doesn't load properly at work and imgur and most other reddit links are blocked too. Digg at least has interesting articles.

zkreso Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I have never really found reddit to be very useful. Most of the things I'm interested in ( music, diet, economics, gaming etc. ) are usually debated much more in depth and more frequently on specialist forums and websites that are devoted to those topics alone.

Guest RadarJammer Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 reddit is spoiled by self refrencing and lame meme and "me too" posts but I like it for those insanely long threads about how often people wash their pants or poop or gross things girls do, it's an amusing way to kill a morning coffee if you wanna see some depressing shit go over to /r/wearethemusicmakers or /edmprproduction and see darkside of needyness and noobism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand the hate... If you don't ,like the crap content, just don't visit the crap subreddits or front page. Have any of you even ventured out any? There's an absolute fuckton of them too!

YELLOW Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 It sounds to me that you've become what you claim to despise. You go on at length about the hipsters who have ruined reddit but you yourself are going on a message board complaining about how the site isn't what it was like when you were first posting there. No different than disliking a band when they grow in popularity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Reddit is like Twitter to me. I have no clue why it's so popular. It's an easy way to waste time. I like Twitter, I use it as a quick way for a laugh. That said - it's overwhelming as fuck, especially since I don't use it 24/7 with a smartphone. I have no idea how people follow more than, say, 30-40 people on that. Reddit is that x infinity imo. I read reddit threads my geekier friends link to - there was an AMA with a dad asking his 9 year old kid (who was dressed incognitio as as spider-man btw) and it was funny, cute, and at times rather insightful. Another cool one about Sikhs was really interesting - some dude posted a pic of a female Sikh with facial hair and she actually wrote in why she doesn't shave and the dude apologized. Awhile back I posted a couple times (one joke about a local 'indie" DJ in Austin most people can't stand was well-received) but after literally seeing downvotes on FACTUAL comments in the dubstep subbreddit I was like "this is fucking lame." I avoid it basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
