What do you NOT like about Reddit?


  1. The fact that everyone mocks "low brow humour" like Big Bang Theory, but the most upvoted comments on *every* thread are the absolute lowest hanging fruit possible. Eg. Post about a cat person, top comment is "man, you are really drowning in pussy". EDIT. TBBT was just an example, people. I was referring to the general superiority complex here.

  2. The blandness of top responses. It's usually a predictable "safe" answer. I like reading the opinions of shitty and weird people so I always have to sort by controversial. Edit: oh the sweet irony

  3. The search function

  4. The _upvote_ bias. Here in AskReddit, you find a lot of "what's the unconventional thing about..." and the most upvoted stuff will not be unconventional or controversial at all, but since the voting is defaulted at it, there will be gems hidden in the controversial votes or simply ignored. Also I don't like the kind of guy that piggybacks on your comments just to post a slightly nuanced version of what you just said to look like an smartass.

  5. Even under pseudonym the temptation to be popular is realy prevalent. People don't say their thoughts sincerely.

  6. Fairly new to Reddit and I love it, but a small thing does bug me. When a really interesting topic is posted, and I am keen to see some debate on it, but the top 60% of visible posts are wordplays or some referential joke I may or may not get depending on whether I have seen a film or something.

  7. Sometimes I end up getting into a debate with stupid, and it takes a while to realise that they're not being sarcastic, they're actually just dumb as shit.

  8. When you first come here you think it's full of intelligent people. After a while the cracks start to show. You eventually realise it's just people who have no clue on a subject parroting what other others have said. You see these posts get upvoted while a person who actually knows the subject gets downvoted for calling them out. It just leads to so much misinformation being spread. Here's a quick example. There was a thread about the darknet. One person who clearly has never been on it says 'I'm not entirely sure, I've never experienced it but I'd guess that once you've paid on the darknet, you'd be given a clearnet link to some dodgy server in some third world country to watch the actual stream.' Person gets 116 upvotes. He clearly doesn't know what he's talking about yet people upvote it. Can you imagine the amount of tards who'll take this as truth and start saying that in future threads as fact? Other person says 'it doesn't exist. You're acting like you've actually seen it.' Downvoted to -52 I could point out shit like this in nearly every popular post.

  9. That if this post gets popular there will be a post called 'What DO you like about Reddit?'

  10. It can be kind of an echo chamber sometimes.
