>> [_] Anon 3065979 I didn't watch the whole video. But reddit is an echo chamber piece of shit. If I want to see all people having the same opinion about a controversial topic I'd live in north korea..
>> [_] Anon 3065980 >># oy vey dont u know reddit is for intelligent discussion and 4chan is for le shitpost?!?
>> [_] Anon 3065987 >># And that is mostly because of the rating system. Sure, one post might be voted to the top, but that post is mostly biased. If a post goes against the subreddits culture, people are going to vote it down. Let me show with an extreme example: Let's say you are a poster on a subreddit for feminism, and you found a very interesting piece that explained how men can gain muscle mass easily compared to women. Now, this is true, it can put a new perspective on feminism and might help it evolve. But, because of the rating system, it will be voted down, and the information will never be seen or it will be regarded as lies and slander. This is what we call an echo chamber. Echo chambers create perfect conditions for radicalism. Which is why feminism is becoming more and more radical and some people are calling it regressive.
>> [_] Anon 3065988 >># A real world echo chamber would be a ghetto, which are perfect for ISIS and other radical Muslim groups, to recruit people. Reddit, tumblr and other websites that promote echo chambers are dangerous to society.
>> [_] Anon 3066002 >># Exactly, it could be a really good site, even with the usernames, but the false sense of "progression " the site gives with you being able to collect points and others being able to see those points and anything else you have ever said keeps people from acting or voicing their opinion as they would if they were truly anonymous. "If I say I think women are not suited for a combat role in the armed forces I will get downvoted and lose points so I won't."
>> [_] Anon 3066009 >muh reddit
>> [_] Anon 3066011 >># And as I stated, this breeds radicalism, a few years ago, being labelled a sexist for not voting for a female was a joke, an exaggeration. Then Sarah Palin, people could call her out and people could call her out for the dumb shit and the lies she made, now Hillery Clinton are doing almost the same thing, but you can't say shit, unless you want to lose you job. They are encouraging each other to dox "sexiest shitlord", and have them fired, over a simple comment. It's fucking scary.
>> [_] Anon 3066015 >># >># >># Everyone on reddit shits on most the feminists and their red pill opposites anyway. Most people go on there to look at videos you're going to see a week later on facebook with emojis plastered all over them. Not that your opinion isn't any less valid but please, most subreddits are a circlejerk. /b/ is a circle jerk. /pol/ is a circle jerk. Almost everything is a fucking circle jerk. So get your head out of your asshole for a second and watch a cat video or something.
>> [_] Anon 3066019 There are lots of technical and very specialized subreddits which work basically as link aggregators to other sites/blogs. You don't even need to read any comments (and susually they don't have any), you just click on subject and it redirects you to another site. Subreddits dedicated to videogames, anime, politics or anything which can be discussed are pure cancer and should never be visited.
>> [_] Anon 3066026 >># I was considering using /pol/ as an example, but at least there, if someone goes out of the norm, the result are usually very tongue in cheek. At least from my experience. If a Swede would sat something like "Muslim don't rape, our women force them by the way they dress." The comments would be obvious, but no one would be fired, no one would be harmed, maybe the Swedes believes, but that's all. /a/ and /vg/agdg have frequent discussion, actual healthy discussion, in between all the name calling, of cause, but there is still discussion. >># I've never understood the need for specialized subreddits for videogames, the fanbase are going to die and the forums are going to be empty one day. Undertale fans are already moving to the new shiny thing, Stardew Valley. So /r/Undertale are just going to be wasting place on the server, thankfully there are no images so it doesn't fill too much.

>> [_] Anon 3066053 while I actually love Grey, the animator of this video, and listen to his pod cast "Hello Internet" I hate his arrogant opinion that Reddit represents a lot of the internet. I hate having a name on a forum and people playing social politics when all I want to do is shit post and be entertained.
>> [_] Anon 3066057 I got sick of 4chan once and decided to try reddit out for a few months. Now I understand why 4chan hates it, because I hate it too, and everyone on that fucking site.
>> [_] Anon 3066099 this fucker lists dota and starcraft as SPORTS? get fucking real
>> [_] Anon 3066119 My ex was a huge redditor. She tried to get me involved in the site. I got on there before I started visiting this site more frequently. It was enjoyable at first. I then began to notice how one sided and close minded they were to any opinions that weren't the ones they already had. You think Christians are close minded? Try saying you can be religious and like science at the same time on reddit. It's just another website like Tumblr. I call them "safety bubble sites" because everyone goes there and has the same opinion. Those who don't have the same opinion just get slandered, bashed, attacked, and "downvoted" into oblivion.

>> [_] Anon 3066138 >># This desu senpai As long as you treat the site as a link aggregator and never read the comments (which you shouldn't be reading on the majority of websites anyway) you will be just fine
