It's pretty bad. The stuff in the comments at least. Actual content can be funny depending on what it is of course.

Better than GameFaq, I don't see very many people making a thread to call it garbage despite both being garbage.

I don't use downvotes very frequently, but when I see a pun chain, every single comment in that chain is getting one. They are the bane of my existence.

I'd go as far as to say >90% of it is garbage. Sometimes it's straight middle school levels of humor.

Like today, I saw a topic with a typo in the title, and 90% of the responses were "lol can't speak bruh?" or "lol you from da future bruh" (topic said "arrived" when speaking about something in the future).

So basically if you want a top voted post, you need to ask your younger sibling how they'd respond.

It can be predictable as fuck and I like to play a game with myself where I predict the top or second top comment on any given thread before clicking on it.

That said, at least it's generally more wholesome than CE. The formula here is much more straightforward:

*OP says thing*
*2nd poster says whatever is exactly contrary to that thing*

Reddit was my first internet home I can't help but love it. Although, I agree a lot of it is trash and circle jerking.

The circle jerking is the only think I have a problem with, which is why I don't enjoy subs like PC master race, but at the same time atleast you won't have that one troll who makes up half the topics there.

Urgh, my first thought on reading this comment was to try and upvote it :|

r/news and r/worldnews are the worst for it. Just ****ing awful puns about serious topics. Also expect lots of racism against asians.

Less cheesy
Less repeated responses

With the upvote system alone, that makes Reddit's humor worse since you'll eventually see the same cliche responses.

Any time someone does calculations of any sort:

"/r/theydidthemath"
"/r/theydidthemonstermath"

It's astoundingly unfunny, and yet you see it every single time.

There is certainly some funny content and comments on Reddit. I've laughed way more at content from Reddit than I have from here.


Bullshit, i haven't laughed on CE in a while but I don't think I ever cracked a smile on Reddit. It's useful for other things that gamefaqs can't provide, however.

I also don't get the "it's the default subs" thing. I see terrible circle jerking and unfunny jokes in every sub. Anything tagged with a humor tag is so terrible and blatantly reaching for karma

There's something unsettling about the way Reddit makes like 95% of its topic titles. They're always in some format, and it's always like the TC is doing the world a favor by making the fucking post. Like chill the fuck out, you're just making some stupid post that 2 people are gonna find amusing.

I can't quite pinpoint it, but like when a topic starts with like "Here's ____" and ends with like "for you"

Or when a subreddit has a bot that marks every topic that ends with a question mark, like they think questions are for fucking idiots or something.

Basically, I hate Reddit and all the types of people that go on there

No, I don't like Reddit's hive humor. So much of it is just the regurgitation of memes and puns that were slightly amusing years ago. The blatant reposts and copy-paste nature of a lot of their replies is annoying. And so even if something is new, it ends up being overexposed after a week or so.

Because I've come across every person on Reddit.

Because the vast majority of them aren't on the subs where the shitty low-form pun humor runs rampant.

Right.

Sometimes. Most of the time, it's even more repetitive than here. Usually 1-3 comments in a comment chain of jokes are worth reading before it gets boring and dry.
