I see people hating on it, calling it plebbit, ect. What's so bad about it? Red pill me.
Why does Sup Forums hate reddit?

The upvote downvote system silences unpopular opinions. If an unpopular opinion somehow manages to get upvotes, you get banned. Not a good place for interesting discussion.
go to /r/politics and find out
found out for yourself
fuck off with your market research
They generalize bad subs as the whole site. There are some pretty good subs out there, but Sup Forums doesn't care because they are too busy memeing.
I use Reddit more than Sup Forums, though I come here to find new memes to post on Reddit for upvotes. Reddit is actually the superior board for intellectual discussion by far.
Never been there but I've heard about the shadow bans.
In a nutshell, heavy censorship.
agree, reddit has great discussion about science and intellectually intelligent topics
Because every post is linked to your account and the upvote system, nobody wants to accidentally offend someone and lose points of their e-dick. Unless your post is agreed with by a large majority, people won't see it.
You are very right my friend. Reddit also has superior boards for discussing politics and anime.
stick to Sup Forums for a week, than go back to plebbit
you´ll understand why
All dissenting opinions are either downvoted out of existence or get you a ban.
That's why reddit posters are so insufferably smug about their views; they are never challenged on their views.
>There are some pretty good subs out there
name one.
Right? Like on r/the_donald anyone who criticizes anything about him is banned.
That pic has to be an inside joke for sure
To add on to this, it heavily incentivizes the site to sell influence. The same way that twitter will remove trending conservative tags, like they did with the dncleaks one, reddit rigs the voting system. The bad moderation of subreddits isn't just an unfortunate reality of human behavior, it's that way by design.
Think about it: you either have a very small amounts of ads and try to somehow monetize the site entirely that way, or you just sell influence behind the scenes. It's basically a marketing system where the audience doesn't know their being marketed to.
Reddit has too many liberals, it's a shit site.
/r/conspiracy
Also CTR took over every political subeditor besides /r/the_donald. /r/sandersforpresident was shut down too
>intellectually intelligent
subreddit*
I get the feeling that there's not going to be a correct answer here.
Allow me to correct the record for you:
Why does Sup Forums hate /r/eeeeeddit?
And /r/eadit hasn't ever been the same ever since the Digg migration.
/r/NBA and maybe other sports subs
Or like that one time that board hosted Donald Trumps presidential AMA with 12k upvotes the first hour and it was censored from the front page even though the top page had 7k upvotes max.
r/politics
r/worldnews
r/anime
r/music
r/hiphopheads
r/sports
r/nba
r/nfl
r/movies
r/fitness
r/steroids
r/askhistorians
r/jobs
r/books
all of these are superior to their Sup Forums equivalents
when the Koln assaults happened on new years they banned all mention of the event on reddit for like 3 days straight. They even banned legit sources like the bbc, until the news just couldn't be hidden. It was extremely blatant censorship to prevent people from criticizing immigrants
also the site layout is absolute garbage
Because reddit used to be good but then went to shit when all the old devs left and got replaced by leftist neokikes
That's a subreddit specifically for those who like the candidate though. And they deal with admin-backed brigading constantly. If they didn't ban, it would be nothing but bots and CTR shills spamming the board.
They didn't name the board something neutral and then ban anything that isn't their exact opinion. r/news will literally delete anything that could be seen as negative towards muslims, to the extent that they actively censored the Orlando shooting, and deleted threads about how to donate blood (which didn't even mention anything about muslims, just stated there was a shooting).
>retarded site layout
>upvote system that silences unpopular opinions
>normie friendly, so don't expect any well thought-out discourse
>accounts and shit required
>XD so randumb humour is par for the course
>mods have agendas to push
>fucking shadowbanning
It's a big game of "I get popularity for having the right opinions." Rampant bandwagoning and subconsciously making people afraid to speak out. And if an argument is downvoted, the majority will act as if that argument "lost."
see
>/r/world news
In what fucking world?
r/redpill
reddit is good for some apolitical shit
video games, for example. everything else is horrid.
There was actual intelligent discussion on the fucking subs until the Digg migration.
even redditors know r/politics is cancer
nice bait
Any music sub on reddit is shit and not being liberal is bannable on r/politics
Reddit is specifically engineered to be well within the Overton window of Normies
>trying to have a gotcha moment this hard
I despise censorship, regardless of the censors' political leanings. As far as I'm concerned, the whole site is trash.
They have no reason. They're just butthurt that Reddit is more successful
That board is full of delusional 40 year old balding cucks who think they can pull 20 year old 10/10s
This board is far superior
sluthate.com
I'm with you on the first part but not the whole site is censored. Only the parts with SJW mods or admins fucking around.
What was the digg migration?
>nba
Let's play spot the nigger
Digg did some kind of site overhaul that kind of destroyed the voting system and focused more on promoted stories and such. This caused the vast majority of its users to go to reddit, even though most didn't like the layout of it.
Probably one of the largest audience transitions ever considering how quickly it happened. Digg basically became irrelevant overnight.
They all speak the same way like faggots
Then why are you here?
Reddit prides itself on being a bastion of free speech while simultaneously suppressing ideas that don't conform with leftist group think.
>Say something off color?
Downvote brigades.
>Say something offensive?
Mod intervention.
>Say something "dangerous?"
Admins nuke entire fucking subs.
It's owned by the media conglomerate Condé Nast who flaunt it as some grassroots platform while silmultaniously selling peoples' private data, as well as selling influence by controlling the narrative or artificially inflating corporate sponsored posts in the default subs.
show me where i could get this info by staying in my hugbox
reddit.com
old Sup Forums wasn't afraid to click on websites outside of our hugbox because we hadn't turned into losers who defined their identity by a website
when one of us links to reddit, we're probably not even a member there, we just found something interesting
GOING TO OTHER WEBSITES WILL NOT GIVE YOU COOTIES
YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE CLOSED THE POOL WITH THAT ATTITUDE
