Why the fuck would anyone browse this shitty website? I know some of you normalfags do, so tell me why.

It's full of pseudo-intellectual douchebags who are all stuck up their own ass. The "hivemind" is fucking retarded, and people just post non-controversial opinions that the majority will agree with, so they get upvotes to stroke their e-peen.

The layout of the website is awful. The garbage layout of threads and posts replying to the OP is so asinine it gives me a headache whenever I try to follow what's going on in the thread.

Fuck this stupid website. If you browse reddit, get the fuck out. You don't belong here.

It's great if you have niche hobbies. Sometimes I want to discuss guitars or cooking without the discussion devolving into how the Jews are manipulating the media into making white women breed with black men to destroy the white race.

Also the content is more diverse and it's easy to filter out what I don't want to see in terms of dank may mays and such.
>>
Because it's nice to balance out all the restarted far right, racist, sexist garbage of this site with their bleeding heart liberal bullshit. It makes me a more rounded person.

Also, reddit isn't that liberal. It's the home of the red pill and men's rights. And atheism. Don't you fags love that shit?
>>
It is pretty shitty. I go less and less each day.

Its still a havit to browse though, but it is shitty there is no doubt
>>
>>24510262
It's well organized, and their are still small subs that break the hivemind.

It's also nice to know your holding a conversation with an individual that you recognize and interact with over a long period of time

>The layout of the website is awful. The garbage layout of threads and posts replying to the OP is so asinine it gives me a headache whenever I try to follow what's going on in the thread.

Opinions about the content and userbase aside, this is what I truly don't get. It's nearly as bad as the AOL newsreader from the 90's.
>>
>>24510995
Saying that "reddit isn't that liberal" because of small niche communities is like saying that 4chan as a whole is basically tumblr because /co/ exists.

This is a very popular opinion on the site.

Reddit essentially has the same structure as a certain chan. You can make your own "board" (subreddit) about literally anything. The main issue what makes Reddit unappealing is because the bigger, more generic boards like /r/funny, /r/gaming and /r/sports are filled with underaged pseudo intellectuals. Simply avoid those subreddits, and stick to smaller, more specific ones instead (such as subreddits for a specific game, hobby or geographical location).
>>
>>24510262
I'm not defending reddit at all but 4chan's layout of threads/posts isn't great either. It's not horrible and it's still miles better than reddit, but it's not awesome either.
>>
>>24510262
Any specialty interest subreddit under 10k subs is usually pretty great and because it's one of the most popular websites in the world, they aren't dead, like their equivalent forums or 4chan boards.

>If you browse reddit, get the fuck out

Make me nerd
>>
It's like a really specialized 4chan.
The discussion system is just total garbage though.

But in individual subreddits, content is usually really good. Like I'm subscribed to /r/PublicFreakout and I can see daily videos of autists acting out in public, or choose to see all of them ever posted ranked by rating.
>>

Go back to reddit you fucking faggot.

4chan's layout is great-tier.

Ever since the catalog, quick reply, and post numbers that reply to a post being attached to the aforementioned post has made 4chan's layout incredibly practical.
>>
because of the same reasons people browse 4chan despite it being allegedly full of racists, antisemites, sexists, and evil assholes who will destroy people they don't like.

Because the accusations simply are overreaction caused by fear of something new.

Dual browser here. Both are alright if you stay away from the cancerous places.
>>
>>24513233
Cool you can find am interesting subreddit.

But the thread layout is fucking retarded, and it's nearly impossible to have a good discussion in real time.

4chan is like instant messaging, and reddit is like emailing.

Fuck email.
>>
>>24510262
i don't even give a shit about the pseudo intellectualism because that's so prevalent in any online community

but those fucking shitty puns they keep upvoting over and over

and how they run an outdated joke or a reference to the ground

at least when someone does it on 4chan everyone tells them to fuck off
>>
You pretty much are in the Reddit-level head space if you actually care about Reddit and who goes on there.
>>
>>24513271
In the same vein, 4chan makes it harder to organize who said what in response to whom in a conversation without clicking the numbers a few times. With reddit each post has direct replies to it right next to it, so conversations are easier to track

You are right. The difference between 4chan and Reddit is very much like the difference between IRC and e-mail. So i like them both, because e-mail allows me to keep up long term, and irc allows me to kick back and have a quick laugh or a feel or a wank.
>>
Reddit is fake as fuck and people only post there for up votes.

Freedom of speech my ass
>>
I fucking hate reddit. The layout is shit and confusing, and the upvoting just leads to a cocksucking culture where certain posters are "famous" (either IRL famous or just reddit famous) and there's no debate or discourse, just everyone shilling the same opinion.

However, I do lurk r/relationships every couple of weeks to laugh at normies.
>>
>>24513323
even reddit thinks /r/relationships is a farce.

>It's full of pseudo-intellectual douchebags who are all stuck up their own ass. The "hivemind" is fucking retarded, and people just post non-controversial opinions that the majority will agree with, so they get upvotes to stroke their e-peen.

Yeah that's true. So is this website sometimes but not nearly as much.

>The layout of the website is awful.
That I disagree with, reddit as a platform for sharing information is good, but communities make it shitty. Like this website. Or like any other website with a following. Or like any fandom.

The Athiesm board is extremely pro-Islam for some reason.

It's like they don't know that Islam is illegal in nearly all Muslim countries and carries the death penalty in 13 of them.

Because it's the best place to get news or info about games and stuff. It has persistant threads, so if I want to know about a new bug in Binding of Issac or something I'm more likely to find it hanging out in a topic there than on 4chan. The fast board of 4chan is great for discussion but not information storage.

I never go to the front page. I type reddit.com/r/investing I also never upvote or downvote, just talk, so I am not a redditor.

I never got this meme about the layout of Reddit being "shit" or "confusing." It's a lot easier to follow conversations there than it is here, where everything is just dumped into a single thread with numbered post links requiring mousing over to follow anything.

That said, the community of any large subreddit is cancer incarnate, but it's pretty shit here as well, just replace libtarded memeing with edgy contrarian memeing.
>>
>>24510262
greater variety of subreddits.
It's not a bad website aside from the forced registration, and its easier to keep track of conversations than /vg/ (since thats the only thing I use it for, vidya related shit)

Honestly, the hate of reddit is just a meme. Sure, there are the fuckers that screenshot posts from here to get their updoots, but overall the website itself isnt awful./
>>
As others have said, while its generally pretty retarded, at least the threads stay on topic and there usually some reasonable answers with a bit of effort in them. It's really the niche boards that make it what it is, where a lot of the older user base hang out.
I like /r/spaceengineers, most users there are fairly intelligent and give you great advice or help with coding.

>>24510262
I almost never go on Reddit unless I'm absolutely bored out of my mind, but someone on /sp/ told me a long time ago that trolling the sports subreddits (or for that matter any of the big subreddits that hipster wannabees frequent) is something to die for. The sheer satisfaction of seeing that downvote counter spiral out of control as hundreds and hundreds of people go the extra mile to press a button to express just how buttaggravated they are at your post can be unparalleled. Especially because of the hive mind nature of the site. The best part is, the site is apparently ran like shit just like Twitter, so it's very easy to get away with trolling over and over.

As for the actual content, I guess if you're a normie you might like it, but more seasoned people will not really find anything useful on Reddit, at least that's been my experience from going on /r/mapporn. Speaking of porn, browsing porn is pretty awful on Reddit too, which I'd say is my main deterrent from defecting to there.

Question for reddit friends on here. Do redditors really say "desu senpai" on their site.

I am going to have to give this bait a 9/10. I've been browsing this shitstain of a website since July 2006 and almost gave you a serious response.
>>
I pretty much only browse subreddits that complain about reddit. I enjoy people being upset over dumb shit that has no meaning and reddit seems to literally be the holy grail of that.
>>
reddit was good a very long time ago. then people started caring too much about internet points and the site went to shit.
>>
>>24513233
>allegedly

Do you browse blind or something? This website is literally full or racism and sexism, it's not a meme or anything. Hell, people even openly admit to it here, which is much better than reddit's technique of "We're not actually racist guys! You're the real racists"
>>
>>24510995
> And atheism
Atheism is inherently a left wing ideology. You can be predominately right wing and be an atheist, but as a political force it is squarely on the left. That being said, a lot of other left wingers have now turned on atheism because they've realized that some atheists hate muslims as well as christians. These atheists are only being consistent in hating traditionalist right wing religions, whether they be christianity or islam, but the younger generation of leftist doesn't beleive in ever criticising POC, even if they are rabid anti-feminist, anti-gay, anti-semetic islamists who are basically brown /pol/.

if you go on reddit please stay there.
