Why do you hate reddit?

 

[Cuti]

reddit sort of sounds like ribbit, which is the noise a frog makes. A frog can live in water. Dolphins live in water. You are the dolphin.


We all hate reddit

Agree, and I say that as someone who has some linked interests to these poseurs.

 

[Mr Chocolate]

Tumblr is a cesspool of feminists and social rejects who shit out bullshit and somehow get similar retarded mongloids to agree.

it must be stopped before they reproduce

 

[Osman]

You actually read tumblr? I dont use tumblr fully exactly, I just google random funny shit (mainly gifs) or other minor pictorial interests, and they all seem to be available there. Dont use it for anything else. It asks me to create an account whenever google takes me there, I manage to just jog on and say meh.

 

[Ocelot]

I don't use it, but tumblr is diverse as shit. There are blogs for lliterally everything there, no sense in critisising the whole site for a few weird branches.

Well that's what happens when you search Buffon+Totti+Gay into your computer Kate

You got me there

tumblr at least is motivated, in part, by rebelling with an alternative against the socially and design restrictive constraints of the Facebook fascist state.

I hate reddit too. It's just a bunch of digg refugees expunged to their second alternative that they all used to slag on and now are forced to embrace out of desperation.

What does this even mean?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I never use tumblr and only go to reddit for the AMA's when someone I know does it. Other than that, never find a reason to frequent these sites.

reddit is like the toilet of the internet, it's the ultimate 'fitting in' place. there are a few subreddits I read occasionally but they're pretty small and not the popular ones. tumblr is also a cesspool in some parts but I think reddit is worse.

Why do you hate reddit?

too many dolphins

Maybe it's a toilet, but all the disgusting crap never comes up beyond the surface. Only the popular turds.

Why did they become refugees?

There are theories, e.g.:
http://www.technologyreview.com/news/428520/why-did-reddit-succeed-where-digg-failed/

"According to analysts and insiders, it was a combination of factors, including changes to Digg’s user experience and its failure to mature in a way that could capture mainstream users."

http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2012/07/13/facebook-didnt-kill-digg-reddit-did/

"But over time, Digg changed. Redesign after redesign unnerved loyal users. Finally, one new version, v4, was so atrocious that there was a mass exodus from the site altogether. The new site was a disaster both visually and content-wise, as “sponsored links” were thrust onto the front page and users felt like they were being packaged and sold to companies.

So where did all these disgruntled users flee to? Well, as most of them were already using Facebook and Twitter for social reasons alongside Digg, Reddit was the obvious choice. The balance of power tipped into the simpler site’s favor, and as Digg became more and more irrelevant, Reddit was growing by leaps and bounds."

Dru is case and point for that latter hypothesis.

Point is that Digg users loyally loved Digg. They thought reddit was a cheap-assed copycat with crap content and a lame community behind it. But then when they felt Digg's redesigns f'ed them over, they reluctantly fled and could only head to the arms of the site they used to disparage. Once there, the community refound itself and made reddit the new Digg with their old users as a base.

I just don't get why that's such a bad thing. Why is it such a bad thing that these Digg users moved to reddit? Were Digg's old users horrible?

The fact is that reddit was a second-rate Digg at best. It became the de facto solution due a lack of adequate competition and that the primary preference shot itself in the forehead.
