I checked out Reddit once and couldnt figure out how to use it. Way to complicated.It's better than it seems at first glance, once you figure out how to customize your experience to your liking...but it still has issues with 'upvote farmers,' repost bots, downvote abuse, extreme and unreasonable political biases, and awful moderation of most 'major' subreddits.
CEers arguing amongst each other in this thread kind of invalidates my initial premise

It works for what it is, if you cater it to your interests, but I still prefer old-school message board style above it.
I always shake my head when I am talking back and forth with someone and they are clearly downvoting my comments every time when I am not downvoting their comments. Downvoting is literally for comments that add nothing to a conversationThey are winning as far as they are concerned. Which means the opposites of course. XD
reddit needs like a daily karma cap or some shit, the karma farming is unreal.You should see Quora.
I don't use reddit because I disagree with a lot of the content on there. I do understand they have made strides to better themselves compared to the "Anything Goes" early days, and there is probably great communities of people on there, but there is still a lot of stuff on there that honestly, imo, should be illegal. And I'm not talking about all the OF girls and whatnot. There is literally subreddits dedicated to talking about illegal stuff they find on the darkweb and then sharing it with each other (outside of reddit of course). Yes, exactly the kind of stuff you're thinking. I wish to have no part in a website or community that allows that.
We are all united in disliking reddit.
