Some days, every second post or comment here is whining about the lamest message board of all time. Who fucking cares? The place is NPC central. Do you not realise how pathetic it is to be spouting off about what some commie retard said in his little commie echo chamber? Have some dignity - cut that cesspool out of your life and your posting habits.

One problem with Reddit is that it's 50% teenagers. Just at that point in life where they know nothing and think they know it all.
Nah, it's 50% old cat ladies.
They know nothing but think they know it all as well.
Do you care what the left is saying, both in Canada and globally?
Because Reddit is a window into their own conversations with each other.
Ignoring that the left always says the same shit regardless (more gibs, white people need to suffer, orange man bad, etc.), it's literally the same narratives as are pushed by the mainstream media. I'm not going to have a shitfit because some self-described socialist made himself king of a gay treehouse and repeated the programming.
It's not though. What the mainstream media is pushing is a moderated/tapered/whitewashed version of what the actual left is pushing. It's also an abbreviated version, whereas social media lets you survey these people's views in detail. For example, I'm not going to hear explicitly on the CBC that today's leftists actually think communism means nobody has to work shit jobs. You have to go to the leftist chudds themselves to hear that shit. And reddit is a concentrated echo chamber degenerate leftists.
Reddit is great.

Not all of Reddit is nerdy socialist college kids getting political and cheering on another lockdown.
It's good for niche interest subreddits. Best to delete and avoid all default subs that are inundated with leftist propaganda.
But I've been looking at it less and less since metacanada is gone and they banned imgoingtohellforthis. They don't allow any non-PC humour anymore. I've found myself going back to 4chan /pol and /int these days. Pretty funny that 4chan is going to outlast reddit.
Also r/canada isn't as bad as people here make it sound these days. You can definitely find some reasonable opinions there, not like the SJW circlejerk of r/toronto.
I stopped caring once meta got shut down.
I used to care about Reddit, but then again Reddit used to be fun.
The entire site turned into fucking Facebook.
Your crazy wine aunt, and other people who turned you off Facebook have taken to Reddit in droves and my fuck do they like it.
Most of the fun subs have been banned, and most of the fun users have left. They've been replaced by ideologues, lunatics, and an army of bots and professional users.
There's been almost no O/C coming from that site in years, apart from porn. There's a lot of reposts for karma and cliche comments for karma; the site is dominated by it and it's fucked up all of the main subs.
Some of the niche subs are alright, but as the site is purged of fun it's also turned off the users who attract new users.
There's still browsing reddit for niche subs, but half of the best have split off to other forums.
I'll mostly surf reddit for cringe. R/Sexworkers for example, is fantastic if you want a window into the minds of the kinds of prostitutes and johns who are so insecure that they need validation from the internet.
I'm enjoying cutting that site out though, for the most part. It went from interesting, to boring, to what's the point of spending time on that site?
It's sad what Reddit has become, but Reddit is gone. It's time to move on and I'm happy to do just that.
But i miss the million dollar extreme subreddit...
Same. I was wondering what I'd replace reddit with, but I just spend less time online now. Fuck social media
Easy. If you keep hamming it up, people will figure out that you're a self-parody account.
