Why reddit is terrible




















That happens with large enough communities everywhere, since the dawn of the internet. Eventually users move to smaller subs where there's more quality discussion. Weirdly enough, I just downvoted you because I disagree. Not sure what to deduce from that. Karunamon on April 12, parent next [—]. That people carry the toxic "make this post go away because I don't like it" mindset everywhere, even when they're explicitly asked not to? At this point, the only reason I still hold a read only Reddit account is so I can turn implicit censorship like thresholding and front page blocks off.

HN, unlike reddit, still has value as a discussion medium, but I wish that "showdead" didn't make the posts unreadable. You can deduce that this is terrible for discussion too. While they don't have to allow any sort of speech, as a private company, it is and has always been the ethos of the site. Are the subreddits discussed in the piece disgusting and foul? Are the users there breaking any laws by being racist pigs or misogynist trolls?

They are breaking no law and the only people who see this horrid speech are people who choose to the way Reddit works, you only get served content from subreddits you subscribe to. That's a huge differentiator from other social media sites.

Of course, there have been cases where laws have been broken -- the so-called "fappening" last year when nude celebrity photos were stolen and then reposted on Reddit. Though it took the site longer than it should have to take down that subreddit, it did. Thing is, the entire site is colored by the scum and villainy.

Random Acts of Pizza - a subreddit where anyone having a hard time or short on cash can get a pizza gifted to them. And fifth, most egregious of all, the queen isn't the lead role in chess!

The goal of chess is to protect your king, not your queen. Over 26, people who don't know the basics of chess thought this was worth a thumbs-up, though. Thanks to Reddit, we're aware of new and exciting revelations. One of these is the fact that dogs age. Who knew? Just in case you've never seen a dog before, here's a comparison shot so you can see how wildly the dog has changed.

And certainly, the girl holding the dog has nothing to do with the success of this post, right? As Reddit is a pretty left-leaning community, it makes sense that they'd be sad to see Barack Obama's term as President come to an end.

One Redditor decided to put this to the test by Googling a generic picture of Obama and submitting it with a played-out meme title. For his five seconds of effort, this user gained over , karma. Not only that, but other readers gifted him 22 months of the premium Reddit Gold service. You can gift Gold to a post or comment that you really like, typically to say "thanks" for someone for helping you out or sharing a great story.

The internet loves Dark Souls , and they'll eat it up if they think you beat it instead. To make it even crazier, I'll say that you've never played a video game before.

Come pose for a picture! That's what we imagine went down in the taking of this picture. Take away the story in the title, and you have three poor-quality images that aren't particularly interesting.

Who cares if some guy beat a game? There's no proof that it was the dad who "won" the game which is a weird way to refer to completing it. Cosplay, the act of dressing up like a fictional character , is pretty popular online.

But this isn't even that accurate -- the color of her tank top and hair don't match the character's. Plus, commenters have examined the low-quality image and determined that it's probably Photoshopped. If this level of cosplay gets over 3, votes, pretty much anyone can do it! Like the "Lifehack" craze, some of the tips people share are either ridiculously stupid or painfully obvious. It's a good thing we have the wise folks of Reddit to help us figure out how to drive cars.

Seriously, how would anyone that passed the driving test and earned a driver's license not know to turn their headlights on at night? Apparently, 4, people weren't aware of this. We've taken a tour of some of Reddit's worst posts that somehow became popular. For every awe-inspiring picture, useful link, or other unique piece of content, you'll find dozens of low-effort posts like these.

Many times, people recognize these for what they are and they don't go anywhere. But other times, they somehow rise to Reddit's front pages. What's the worst Reddit post you've seen that became popular? Have you ever submitted something to Reddit that became wildly popular?
