Yeah whenever I venture onto Reddit I am astounded by how non-user-friendly it is for the most popular message board on the web.
I'm assuming you're talking about new reddit, which is yeah, disgusting.
BUT you can go back to https://old.reddit.com , the most usable website of all time, and then, I forget how, but there's some button to click that's like "never show me new reddit ever again". It totally works, they haven't shown me new reddit in many years.
It's been like 3-4 years of new reddit, and it doesn't seem like they'll ever get rid of old reddit, because SO many people despise new reddit.

As for WHY they made new reddit so terrible, I work in web development, and facebook's "React" framework (and similar frameworks) are becoming extremely popular across the industry. You can't get away from them. They're called "SPA frameworks" (or "single page application frameworks"). If you make a website without using one of these, you get looked at weird.
And these frameworks greatly encourage this style of website we're talking about, where every website feels like a weird homebrewed new operating system every time, instead of a simple series of webpages.
Ironically, I don't think these frameworks are becoming popular because people like the results...
Instead, they're becoming popular because it's more fun to write code this way. Developers love to write little interactive pop ups and layers and buttons, and the tutorials for these frameworks don't really teach you any other way to build a website.
Seriously, I talk to colleagues and ask them "can we please just build a usable site this time" and they're like "noooooo I will quit, it's way too much fun to build them this way".
Because you touch yourself at night.
How? How ? Over our broken and battered corpse, that's how . Are you telling me you weren't aware of the stakes of that fateful 2013 day? Link was fighting for more than a title in that match.

The point of reddit is depersonalization. Message boards like this put the username front and center, and emphasize the linear thread of discussion. Reddit actively fights against that. It instead wants to distill the average sentiment of the public into a single manufactured thread.
It is very common for person A to make a statement, person B to ask a follow up question, and then a completely different person C answer the follow up question in the voice of A. So a convo on gfaqs which would be between 2 people responding in turn, is instead 50 different people all responding out of order, and then getting sorted and filtered by the votes into the final conversation you see in the top comments. Check out AskOuija for the clearest example of this.
Individual people commenting don't matter at all. It's like a wiki more than anything.
So that's why it's really popular. By design it shows you the average sentiment of the internet at that given moment. Without all the individuality getting in the way.
It's crazy that L-block happened in 2013. For some reason I thought I was way younger than that. Like, 2009 at the latest.
L-Block happened in 2007 bro. What they're referencing here is Draven.
What I don't understand is how and why people read anything other than the top commentsThis is part of the reason it's kind of a terrible website.
Top comments are kind of obnoxious because if it's anything opinion oriented it makes things kind of like a hivemindI never thought of that because I only browse subreddits for humor and gaming related stuff and nothing political and the likes
I never thought of that because I only browse subreddits for humor and gaming related stuff and nothing political and the likesIt's just not political stuff.
Twitter gets my political rage fill
But the upvoting for comedy things is good.and porn
think about how many topics on gamefaqs are 40% nonsense, 20% people trying to argue with nonsense, and 40% people saying "ugh just stop replying to the nonsense"Not that many if you mean B8. CE and POTD maybe.

That doesn't make any sense. If we had upvote/downvotes here, Vlado's stupid topics would be downvoted into obscurity and nobody would see them. The "echo chamber" here would not enable Vlado, he would have to go somewhere else.No, he would just hang with his nationalist crew, which is what happens on reddit
Why are people still bringing Vlado as an example
He was not relevant for at least 5 years now
You should be glad they're still bringing up Vlado because you're pretty close to being the next example.You think I care? I know who I am and what I am worth. I know I am far more logical than the majority of the people here
I know I am far more logical than the majority of the people hereReminds me of when you freaked out about how a man could be such a self hating traitor to his entire gender, after I said women should have equal rights

Reminds me of when you freaked out about how a man could be such a self hating traitor to his entire gender, after I said women should have equal rightsThis never happened
Which part? The man traitor or the feaking out?Both of them probably happened I guess
