No. It’s of use. Like they say….there is a little truth in every lie. It is a “data” point. I did not look at the link. I immediately shut all conversation down when I saw r/. (Reddit and I have history dating back to Pao and FPH) Thats on me.
I understand completely. There's so much garbage that it's hard to find the tiny amounts of useful information that do exist there. While the person presenting the information on that post is somewhat condescending, the information itself is quite interesting.
I started using reddit in-depth right after the digg redesign, and watched it go from the news aggregator that it was to a shithole in a matter of a few years. Can't remember what the event was, but there was something that was being reported everywhere (else) that portrayed one of reddit's apology groups in a bad light, and it wasn't even showing up in the (at the time) conservative subs. There were other things but that just kind of made me go it's time to leave. That was about the time realvoat took off so I went there until it turned into the 24/7 joos in my vagina channel.
Yea. I was very active on Reddit for years, during the “good old days”. It was a great place for information…pre bot. I went to VOAT and was loyal from start to finish. TL;DR: Propaganda bad
It's a good read and thanks for sharing via an archive. It's not necessarily condescending but the humor used is the humor that a "smooth brain" would use and completely distracts from his points.
