AstralSea Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Why does everyone hate it so much? I never actually been on the site, but i heard some pretty nasty things about it (some things worse then 4chan) Someone clarify please? Link to comment

ProfessorElderberry Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I rather enjoy it myself... I am fond of TIL... Link to comment
Orangeslash Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I frequent it now mostly for the news, sports, and rare enjoyable laugh from r/funny. I browse mostly on my phone, so the layout doesn't bother me. Honestly, I can see why it's hated, for all the reasons Dahaka mentioned, but it can be a decent site if you use it correctly.

Hemlock Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I prefer 4chan, of course. Look at /vp/ and r/pokemon and you'll know why. That said, I think Reddit's salvageable. Much like people were saying in the 4chan thread, it depends on where in the site you go. It's necessary to unsubscribe to almost all of the default stuff, otherwise, meems and circlejerks ahoy. The format leads to some horrific stuff, edgy ratheists probably being the worst of it. But, I would contend that the format works just fine for places like /r/AskHistorians. Good academic-style writing floats to the top, and the terrific mod team deletes drivel quickly and efficiently. You see a bit of repetition in terms of the questions being asked, but I can get over that. Orangeslash 1 Link to comment
