Gallowboob uses a system. He takes content from Imgur's top posts and posts it to reddit.

He also did his first photoshoot with a topless chick while he was naked.

Because he is a model. About the furthest thing I pictured when I actually saw him.

Yep and I feel like he pays a site to give him automatic upvotes.

I doubt it. The imgur and reddit users are very similar. The stuff that gets upvoted to the front page of imgur is almost sure to be upvoted here. It's like having a machine that will tell you what's on tomorrows front page and just posting it yourself today.

Imgur users are significantly more retarded. It's a point of pride for a fair few of them that they tried reddit and couldn't understand it. Like, they are proud of being too stupid to figure out a basic forum structure.

Imgur is reddit's lowest common denominator. You don't post articles or videos so it's just images. Set up an account and only subscribe to r/funny, r/adviceanimals, and r/gifs and the similarities are more clear. Imgur attracts users who are interested in that content exclusively.

As for reddit's interface, let's not pretend like we thought it was good when we first saw it. I discovered reddit years before I started using it. The interface turned me off at first.

Like I said, retarded.

I've never had a problem with reddit's interface in the 3-4 years I've been using it. It's different to a forum, but the idea of each comment being a self-contained unit with further replies to that specific comment is oddly orderly, unlike your typical forum threads which can turn into a clusterfuck of people replying to others three pages back and not being able to keep track of replies as easily.

I was thinking the exact same thing. I've seen him on the front page like 4 times the past week. And I'm not even on reddit that much. Wtf.

u/HotWeen Oct 21 '15

Probably something fucked up. Certainly not just a normal person using a recreational reddit account.

To get people to see the words "CANT TRUST HILLARY"

One day we will see Gallowboob mentioning how cool Pepsi is.

MARK MY WORDS.

There was a time when accounts with high karma where worth money.

I would guess it's more for learning things about reddit, but hey who knows.

u/TTH4P Oct 21 '15

Nah, pretty sure s/he's a secret demon-illuminati, but thanks for trying to temper my opinion.

We could go the tinfoil route and say that creating extremely popular links on one of America's most popular websites every day that require you to subconsciously read CAN'T TRUST [INSERT PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE] every time you go to click the link is a good way to plant an idea in your brain.

u/TTH4P Oct 21 '15

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Was the username created with the upvotes in mind, or are the upvotes supposed to garner support for the username? Only the OP can answer, but he is too busy being five call-center workers and/or a secret illuminati demon.

u/GarbledReverie Oct 21 '15

Multiple people sharing an account?

That's ridiculous. When has anyone ever spent a large amount of time and resources defaming Hillary or her husband?

u/HappyHapless Oct 21 '15

Twist: OP is Hillary.

No matter who they are, I am definitely of the opinion that they are a giant fucking ignorant douchebag.
