		<description>&lt;p&gt;Fuck Reddit. In theory it&#039;s a great idea, but the Karma system is a huge confounding feature that completely taints everything on the site. All anyone seems to care about is collecting karma (positive feedback) votes. The end result is that nobody ever truly speaks their mind honestly and sincerely, and people don&#039;t necessarily always discuss a topic with all facets considered.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reddit users (so called &quot;redditors&quot;) blab on about how wonderful they are and kid that they share the &quot;hivemind&quot;, and think alike, but the reality seems to be that they are all scared to NOT share similarities, and anytime they post or comment they keep differences far enough away to not be seen by others. And the more users masturbate all over each other&#039;s similarities, the more karma they award each other. I regularly get downvoted for my comments, but it&#039;s not so much because I am that different as it is because reddit is all the same. It&#039;s really quite pathetic. I&#039;ve commented before &quot;gee, why am I getting downvoted for XYZ? That makes no sense.. because.. etc.&quot;, and the response from some no-brained, can&#039;t think for himself twit is: &quot;&lt;em&gt;WE&lt;/em&gt; aren&#039;t voting you down for XYZ, we are voting you down for ABC, asshole...&quot;. Really? &quot;We&quot;? Good one, you mindless loser who can only find comfort in numbers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I will have to admit, you run across more actual discussions there than on most other sites, but the common folk of reddit truly are a lame bunch. The next time somebody does a &quot;Hey Reddit! What are you doing right now! Submit a picture!&quot; post, go in and take a hearty look. 90% of the users are these doughy, unshaven, nerdy, too-young, i&#039;m-not-a-hipster-but-i&#039;m-hip, so-called &quot;adult&quot; kids. It all makes sense when you see their faces. It really brings me back down to earth to look at them. Quite revealing and disappointing at the same time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Great concept. Stupid public. Fuck reddit.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;darwin was nothing but a failed clergyman candidate who simply used for the justification of eugenics. tesla was nothing but an average engineer with no perspective for huge scalability problems. obama was nothing but a social media rally for die hard consumerists and millenial hipsters.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;u mad reddit? go back to your liberal sandbox and circle jerk to calm down.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Hate to say it, but I agree 100% with this article.  Reddit has degraded to the point that if you&#039;re not part of the in clique for whatever subreddit you post to, then you might as well just give up before you try posting.  I think the same tards who ruined Digg have been hard at work on Reddit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The memes have been fine.  The puns and jokes, sure.  But it has now gotten to the point that you can&#039;t say ANYTHING.  In /r/science?  Better not answer any questions unless you&#039;re part of their select group of esteemed whoevers.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cracked a joke ANYWHERE?  Better not be doing it while some attention whoring group is trying to command a thread or they&#039;ll even go as far as making physical threats.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reddit was awesome when I joined a few years ago.  As of now, fuck that place.  It has turned into /b/ with kittens.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m done too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Reddit tends to be far left wing. It all rings good - equal rights for everyone, democracy, and whatnot. They&#039;re describing an utopian society, which is good as an endgame goal. Reality and the real world is very different from the virtual world though. Everything said about society on reddit might ring well theoretically, but will never work well practically in the real world. I blame that to be dued to the fact that an amazingly large number of redditors are Computer Science / IT majors, so I won&#039;t blame them for not having proper political education and view on the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;justme said that Reddit is democracy. Yes, blind democracy. Democracy is useless without the debates it preceeds, and Reddit buries all comments and alternative point of views that they judge inappropriate, often without providing an adequate counter argument. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I joined Reddit around 2008, and quit recently. I&#039;ve seen the intellectual value of the comments drop a lot, more so than the frontpage itself. If anything, Reddit would have been an amazing place if it was kept a lot smaller. It became bland and boring just like most bigger communities. The occasional anti-republican remark, FOX news joke, or soviet russia joke were funny occasionally, but if you go see the Reddit comments now, you&#039;ll see that every single thread is like the next one. Circlejerks on the top of the comment page, and conversation worthy comments that offer an alternative point of view are usually buried down below.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fuck that circlejerk. If anything, it has made me disassociate from the left wing movement / political ideas. There are just too many left wing retards, I don&#039;t want to be put in the same bandwagon as them.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I hear ya. Honestly, Reddit is becoming more and more like 4chan, except instead of a bunch of young immature people, it&#039;s a bunch of older immature people. Sure there are people there who want to positively and constructively contribute (and they do), but it&#039;s on the brink of becoming a place that is better looked at from a distance instead of participated in. Now, these days, I&#039;m seeing an increasing number of people that are getting ripped apart on reddit  - their lives and personal information (even personal information of &lt;em&gt;family memebers&lt;/em&gt;) found and posted for all the world to see, just because they their viewpoint is contradictory to another &quot;redditor&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m curious to see what comes next after Reddit.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The site is turning into a circle jerk of left wing extremist.  The only articles that get any coverage are those that agree with their persuasion.  No intelligent discussion whatsoever.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This whole Rand Paul = racist thing has really shown me what the site is about.  I gave up trying to count the articles calling him a racist.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Personally, I saw the whole debacle as a corporate hit piece.  As falling over themselves leftist as they have become, they couldn&#039;t connect the dots to save their asses.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Maddow, works for MSNBC, a wholly owned subsidiary of defense contractor General Electric.  Paul wants to end the Fed, thus severing the fire hose of money that defense contractors suck off of.  It really is that simple.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Whether Paul is a racist or not is irrelevant, he wants to tear down the empire -  that was why he is a threat to the establishment.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If the supposed anti-war Redditors were as intelligent as they claim to be, they&#039;d see that Maddow is nothing more than a corporate shill war-whore.  Did they?  Well... if you&#039;ve gotten this far I probably don&#039;t have to answer that for you.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nothing but a bunch of knee jerk reactionary children.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Phuck `em!!!!&lt;/p&gt;
