My only issue with Reddit the amount of astroturfing that takes place.
Take a look at a community like /r/fitness, and you get a lot of people recommending a lifting program that requires you purchase a book.
The worst part is, once it's been brought up enough (read: astroturfed enough), users naturally start to parrot it to fit in.
