No, he's right. For the most part, Reddit is lame.

Just go on a few days and watch the front page. You'll pick up on trends that just never stop repeating. Particularly in the comment sections.

Also, I'm going to shoot out a number here, I would say that about 60% of the front page posts are just absolute bullshit.

Just like how we the freeskiers  (the smartest and coolest people on the earth) Learn whats happening in skiing on NS, All of the stupid people learn a commercialized version of whats happening in the rest of the world on reddit.

Once you cut out /funny, /videos /gifs /pictures... etc and all of that bullshit, reddit can be really interesting.

Just subscribe to subreddits that actually have substance with good conversations and useful info, its 100x better

Actually I've been paying close attention to /r/gifs the last week or two. It's generally quality, funny content. And I consider myself to have a low sense of humor.


But yah, /funny, /pictures, /video, /adviceanimal is all shit shit shit

Im pretty addicted (4674 ยท 10865), but I'll admit I fucking hate the site. Especially the obnoxious self righteous users. They really are detrimental to the quality of content and discussions posted on there. If youre subbed to the right subreddits its not to bad, but theyre usually way to small to actually provide new daily content. Reddit would be fuckin dope if the people were cooler

>Layout - I do like the CONCEPT of rating posts by helpfulness/up+down system. However, the way they thread comments combined with the almost-too-basic layout leads to a less than pleasant viewing experience. I can't stand looking at a name in size 12 blue font, a comment below it, a bunch of lines and small grey text, and more posts. Newschoolers shits on the design aesthetics and helps personalize each member's post (signature, icon, etc)

>Community - This might be because I don't use reddit enough to get involved with subreddits. But to me, Reddit is too large to form the community feeling that a site like Newschoolers has. It's almost TOO active, and there are too many members on the general stuff I've lurked that I've never once noticed personable connections made between members. On a site like NS I literally have made over 100 friends and can keep up with their posts easily

>Content - Cool, reddit is the front page of the internet, cool you saw it on reddit first, IDGAF. Most of the posts start to blend together with the same exact wording [Today I learned...(random fact), So this happened...(link to stupid picture), le meme... (dumb meme)] I feel like nothing becomes epic or unique. Nothing lasts forever, it simply disappears deep into the archives or whatever. You make a stupid or awesome post on NS and it becomes timeless (imo)

>Layout- while I see your point I like the simplicity of it honestly. I'm not someone that really active within the Reddit community, I mainly just have my Sub-Reddits that I have subscribed and upvote content I like, and read comments about things that look interesting.

>Community- I see you point, the community in many of the Sub-Reddits especially the major ones is kinda trash, but you can find some humorous comments if you look. Plus things like AMAs and ask science can be very cool, with the huge amounts of users Reddit has you have a ton of backgrounds and information right in the user base of the site itself. I've seen some pretty cool shit on Reddit. Granted I've seen some pretty shitty crap there as well.

>Content- With so many users and how fast paced it is you can suck in so much information about whatever you want. I just found a interesting video yesterday about Gabe Newell talking about how Linux is going to be the future of PC gaming. and how even though now with the Linux gaming population making up only 1% of the population of PC gamers, with the way other platforms seem to be headed Linux's openness will be amazing. Then you have things like r/Buildapc or pretty much any other unique Sub-Reddit.

TL;DR Reddit isn't for everybody, and yes I admit I'll scroll down page after page at 2AM when I should be sleeping, but it does have a lot of good content if you're willing to wade through the circlejerk and crap.
