How much horrific awkward teenage shit did Reddit have to go through to get where it is now? Bacon narwhals at midnight, rage comics, bullying an uninvolved brown kid into suicide after the Boston bombings, reluctantly removing CP adjacent subs only after being called out on cable news, the /r/fatpeoplehate nonsense, /r/antiwork mod humiliating xirself on Fox News, the woody harrelson rampart ama, fumbling the bag by firing Victoria, probably 20 more.
I made the correct decision to bail.
Someone will probably enjoy this, but I bailed like 4 panels in and there were literally hundreds more panels to read.
Courting a user base of insufferable, unfunny, terminally online idiots gets you a user base of insufferable, unfunny, terminally online idiots. If you will recall Reddit went through the same influx of shit with the digg exodus and even more so as smartphones got wider adoption.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giant retards.
The convergence of “man, some wild ass shit is happening to me I’m noticing” and “check your damn CO levels bro” posts continues.
If you want to be Reddit you’re gonna have to deal with the Reddit shit.
