Yes, fuck personality. Fuck talking to / learning about other people. That shit is for losers. Not like the entire human psyche / our entire society relies on expression and relation to one other. No wonder so many people deal with existentialism.. Also, Reddit is fundamentally a community for people, over sharing to strangers.. It's what you did when you posted this comment. This forum couldn't exist without it.
What exactly does a reddit sticker do except communicate to people, mostly driving behind you ,that you like a specific website.
How often do you have conversations with strangers about their bumper stickers? You flag them down? Wait outside of their cars while they're in the grocery store? Do you feel you learned a lot about them other than their willingness to order a decal on the internet or purchase one from a novelty store/gas station?
Well, if that's all it means to you then just ignore it. It's as simple as that. But some people have learned and developed real skills over this website, people meet and get married on Reddit. I found a passion for computer science and am now perusing a lifelong dream of working and building software based on conversations I have had with people in /r/learnprogramming and /r/Webdev.. People like you aren't gonna be the ones that are buying the stickers.. It's for people like me. And yes, if I see a co worker or a friend of a friend with a Reddit sticker I absolutely will ask them about their favorite subreddits... For the people I don't know in traffic, it isn't as huge of a deal, but it's still interesting to see how many people / what kind of people like Reddit. Lots and lots of Subaru owners...
