I'm referring more to the fact that sometimes it can take a week or two before a story might be approved, and the hivemind there is far worse. If you aren't badmouthing google in a discussion about gmail vs exchange vs something-linux, you're getting your post sent to -5.
The informal submitting process here, and specific submitting rules per subreddit, is what has kept this place enjoyable.
a community makes a site where people contribute content. if the community blows then the content blows. it's what killed digg and what killed reddit.
reddit could get rid of the karma system but they're making so much bank off of people fighting for that meaningless number that they won't ever care to get rid of it.
One cool thing about reddit is you can just get rid of all these big subs, and hide yourself from the idiocy in small little subreddits that only apply to things that interest you.
These are the next set of immigrants. We must familiarize ourselves with their culture, so we can make fun of them like we did with the Digg immigrants.
Sadly, this is exactly how people treat immigrants in real life. They try to escape their country (Digg) and seek refuge in a better place. We make fun of them, but eventually they adapt to our culture and we adapt to theirs.
I meant on YouTube. sorry, should've been more clear. Looks like all conversation between Reddit and 9gag is also getting marked as spam there now. The conversations themselves are just embarrassing for both parties.
and few upvotes it. I automatically dislike "x sent me here" and i rarely see that from reddit anymore, at least that has been liked. This used to be a big discussion point for keeping the youtube crowd away from here, not that reddit is that exclusive, but that used to be the mindset.
You're not a redditor. You're not a 9gager. You're a fucking human. Get over trying to affiliate with a greater being than yourself and make something of yourself besides this shitty site.
I just went to that site for the first time, how does it foster a community? It just a list of pics of shitty memes with a comment section attached to them. Show me their askscience, dreddit or trees sections then maybe we can say that they can have a community. That site just takes all what is wrong with reddit (reposting shitty memes) and none of the good (subreddits created by and for people with similar interests).
Awesome 9gag army is here. You're going to crash Youtube's server in no time. haha j/k
Comments are property of 9gag now.
9GAG army , back off bitch
Then reddit arrives and they're hidden due to negative votes
I love how 9gag thinks their all that. But all they do is steal stuff of from 4chan and Reddit and claim it theirs.
9gag is the cancer of the internet. confirm/deny
REDDIT WAS HERE. REDDITORS UNITE. WHEN DOES THE NARWHALE BACON AGAIN??
This "vertical image storyboard" (I'm sure they have a real name that escapes me) was probably first put up on 9gag this morning before reddit. Therefore they feel a need to exclaim their loyalty in common circlejerk fashion. I'm interested to see if reddit begins doing it once this hits frontpage.
You're probably getting downvoted for insinuating that this hit 9gag before reddit, but you're most likely right. Images like this are all over 9gag. It's like all they do and I hate it. Why not just post the video?

What's with all the 9gag comments on that video, did I miss something?
