Reddit is not good, and if you use it you are not really paying attention ;)
Thats more of a reflection of our society than reddit itself.
and now you're polluting HN with similar weak postsanecdotal conversation, ppl don't know what you mean by reddit etc
Is reddit a good example of what you're complaining about?
The real problem of reddit is the people who think it has a problem.
You're reading it backwards. Its to support that kind of stuff, not discourage it. Reddit is pretty toxic.
Bit watered down dont you think, considering some of the things that appear on Reddit!
huh? what do you think most of reddit is? it's the same thing you're describing just bent on whatever flavor the subreddit is...
To be fair to reddit, "this" comments get downvoted to oblivion there too.
Don’t think so. Reddit suffers heavily from this and is a known phenomenon.
