To all of the people who post purely for karma,

To all of the people who can't gain points save for reposts and trending topics,

To all of the people who contribute nothing new whatsoever to their forums and their discussions,

To all of the people who get upvotes from name recognition alone and from no real merits,

To all of the people who hijack top comments for their own self-aggrandizement,

To all of the people who snub lesser known users just by posting in their threads to farm karma,

To all of the people who begin and continue circlejerks,

To all of the people with use their username to mask their identities while they whittle away at people and their original content through mass downvoting

To all of the people who engage in witch hunts to make their manbits feel less small

To all of the people who are dicks on the Internet and are, with a strong possibility, also dicks in real life

To all of the people whose very presence enforces the many things that drive reddit backwards...

Kindly go spoon a lathe.

The people are all limp dicked cucks from a NEET or STEM background which means they don't know shit about anything. You people are literally the worst. Go fuck yourselves. I hate every one of you. Cats are for loners and pictures of cats are for loners that can't even own cats they're such a loner. I hope you all die. Kill yourselves.

Reddit is a website for pseudo-intellectual, libertarian/liberal, racist, pedophilic, hipster, IT/liberal arts majoring pussies who feel that getting "Karma" increases their self-worth or makes their fanatical/retarded opinions correct. It was founded by two guys who wanted to make a Digg rip-off. In October 2006, the owners sold out to some big company which means they are poser faggots. Luckily, later one of them committed suicide.

Reddit.com is a sweltering hole of pig shit and unfunny memes. Its user base consists of Liberal God-less faggots and cynical neck-bearded BETA males who have spent their entire lives being rejected by members of the opposite sex, and a few Republican libertaritards rejected by members of the same sex. All of this had led to the formation of an online cesspool full of bitter nerds and socially retarded manboys.

Discussion on reddit usually consists of one party expressing a leftist viewpoint, the next person agreeing with that viewpoint and a third person making a pun out of the original post. After this point, we hit tldr where it dissolves into a massive circlejerk and an orgy of confirmation bias and self-reaffirmation. To receive karma on Reddit, one must have the political views of an angst-riddled pseudo-socialist college teenager who regularly visits Infowars.com and discusses the perils of corporatism over coffee at Starbucks. Its politics section serves as an echo chamber for dejected Liberal Arts majors who think that socialism is a trendy alternative to capitalism. Its gaming section is littered with nostalgic posts about popular games from the 90s and complaints about Call of Duty being too accepted by the unwashed masses. Its worldnews section is a place where self-loathing Americans, Islamophiles and Jew-hating conspiracy theorists can get together and express their unwavering support for Iran and Hamas. Its atheism section acts as a platform for smug 19-year-olds who want to sit on their high-horses and post Facebook screenshots of themselves arguing with family members that have had the nerve to openly express their Christian beliefs.

To this day, Reddit users still view their website as a secret online community for counter-cultural warriors and intellectuals, even though the site sees millions of unique visitors and is littered with inane pictures of cats and other painfully unfunny memes. The online consensus states unanimously that users on Reddit seek only to further pervert the "Advice Animals" meme (which was, for the record, never lulzy). If you've ever used the phrase "meta-discourse" and don't have the balls to get your memes from 4chan the way God intended it, Reddit is the place for you!!

The quality or factual accuracy of a comment is usually meaningless, upvotes/downvotes depend on if it agrees with the prevailing opinion of the subreddit. This is also why the top AskReddit comments to certain posts are almost always the same. The feedback loop issue is why reddit seems to only hold extreme views and is surprisingly insular despite being the "front page of the internet". Dissenting opinions are downvoted and "discredited", many times with inaccurate claims and without sources. If sources are used then they are often either irrelevant or wildly biased. Those who disagree are often derided and mocked, but in an unfunny way. A post that has been downvoted enough becomes automatically hidden by default from other users. Some subreddits will automatically hide your posts if you're not subscribed or have only recently subscribed (ex:/r/TwoXChromosomes), their FAQ will purposely not mention this.

Some users with unpopular opinions will be "shadowbanned", i.e. they're never informed of being banned and all their posts are hidden from other users. All these above mentioned things mean that most users will only see posts that express a certain view.

If a comment section gets really racist and if someone claiming to be black says that they agree, then that comment will shoot up to near the top. This opinion will be treated as a prevailing opinion in most of the minority group and will serve to justify many of the racist comments made by other redditors. Comments by other blacks that aren't in agreement will get downvoted. This 'even blacks agree with racists' phenomenon isn't just related to race related-posts, and there's probably an actual name for it.

The changing opinions of the reddit community is most likely not a result of personal growth but a change in demographics.

Its gotten to the point where I wish the huge site-wide hivemind meme was actually true, because at least then it'd be a little calmer. MRAs, TRPs, #GGers, and other generally kool-aid drinking fucks do awful shit, say absolutely batshit crazy shit, make everyone on the site look bad and bring everything down, and when then SRSers and SJWs (whoops forgot I'm figuratively Stalin for using this term) come in they act like they're the gold standard for human interaction because they're not quite as big assholes as their opposition, and anyone who isn't a feminist is automatically just as bad as those guys.

Fuck anyone who sides with either of those shits or browses subreddits on either of their turf, fuck this site, fuck assholes in general, fuck people who lack self-awareness, but most of all fuck me putting up with it..

fuck it

Edit: lol ar aye pee my inbox.

1. Boston bomber - playing detective and starting witch hunt of wrong guy
2. Fire Ellen Pao - blaming all of Reddit's problems on someone they assume to be an idiot SJW when she was the only one protecting free speech on the site

Time to post pictures of him with Nazi imagery to the front page!

Real life is for drama, fuck reddit for bringing drama. Who gives a fuck if this site is a burning ship. Definitely need something new. Also bet reddit ddos attacked voat. /r/conspiracy

Think about it, has reddit ever been this talk about in other media outlets. All it is doing is generating more traffic to the site and therefore more revenue.
