And then every single comment section becomes a circle jerk just like reddit, where people are discouraged to post their honest opinions for fear of getting downvoted/banned. In anonymous places like 4chan you can say whatever you want, and from my personal experience, it does tend to generate a lot more diversity and honest discussion than reddit. Of course, you get a bunch of shitpost and racism, but then again, those are pretty much the pillars of internet discussions nowadays.
