Mackorov 09/12/17 10:20:50 AM #1:	I never liked their way of running things, that to a sheer level of crazed ranking that simply promotes the idea of people to only 'see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear'. Top voted posts are always at the very front of the page (hot), while controversial posts are downvoted to the point of oblivion where it disappears into black hole and is immediately forgotten hours after it's created by the user. It's a stark comparison to a forum site like here in gameFAQs where it's controversial posts that can get extremely popular. For example, someone creating a post on questioning Trump's policies on /r/the_donald with sound reasoning and convincing. Your post is going to get downvoted so bad, most people there will never see it. Despite reddit always reminding users the downvote button is not a disagree button, well, obviously no one's gonna listen. Topics arent given the treatment on quality itself, they're judged on mass agree-ability. A second thing is the comments. Oh, the effin' comments section. It's not unusual to see the most upvoted comment at the top of the page and 90% of the rest of the comments all only being replies to that single one top upvoted comment. It takes a long amount of scrolling through a long list of never-ending replies just to find a second actual unrelated comment by another user in the topic. It's not just tedious, it's just plain ridiculous and again, hinders on fair visibility. What's the point for me in even commenting anymore? When my comment would just be at the very bottom where no one ever sees (I know you can sort by 'newest' but most ppl dont bother). And if I reply to the top upvoted comment, my comment also immediately becomes inconsequential among the sea, of mass of other replies clinging onto this one top upvoted comment. At least here in gFAQs, people instead will have to check the last page/latest comment in the topic to find whatever new update was made. <cite>Mackorov posted [p:886459482] in Does anyon...

The main problem I hate is the overshadowing in preferences of posts/comments that yields toward a magnitude of bias by redditors. Post something they dont like despite raising a good point and being something worth discussing, your posts disappears instantly through the flood of downvotes. Post something they like, like ''ooo, Dragonball is amazing...'' and your posts shoots to the Hot page. This is especially prominent in fanboy subreddits. <cite>Mackorov posted [p:886462416] in Does anyon...
