I got too old for this.
I got into this place when Digg died. Because to me, Reddit was always "the cloned one". I used this so little that this is my third account because I kept forgetting the passwords, or what @ hotmail (or xmail?) I used; and despite that, this account is 7 years old.
So Digg died, and here I am, but it was good, not perfect, but a good replacement without all Digg's "drama," or at least for a while.
However, because all things in life have one "however".
This is not at all what it used to be, and don't get me wrong, it has always been sort of dumb memes, videos, trolls, etc, but it was always people being dumb and not people just plain dumb.
There were always some Subreddits with genuine philosophy and knowledge, and now...
It's like there's no critical thinking, there's no common sense, there's no experience, there's nothing in here of value anymore, and the ranking system (A.K.A. "Karma") is the megaphone of the anonymous ignorants and the boot against these outside algorithmic bubbles.
I do understand the "generational shift" will always happen, and statistically, Reddit's population is now mostly people under 29 years old. However, there's no longer a purpose for this place, because its population actual lack the main understanding of it.
Reddit (Read it) = You read, you vote, you reply.
Now, what is this place? People don't read, and if they read, they don't understand, and if they understand, they don't comprehend, and if they comprehend, they will trash you anyway because of "feelings" over critical thinking.
Anyway, many years ago I read a book whose conclusion was "Let's leave conclusions for the dumb people".
