Will there be any paid gaming of Reddit?
Will Reddit turn into a sewer as it grows, as did Digg?
- InclinedPlane 16y agoI've visited reddit a fair number of times and haven't found much use for it over other sites. The comments on reddit are typically about as valuable as those on 4chan with the modification that they are on average less entertaining and also contain fewer pictures of genitalia (on average).
- lhnz 16y agoVisit /r/DepthHub and its subreddits or even /r/TrueReddit. It's not bad if you don't visit the most popular parts of the site.
- pavs 16y agoPeople who generally comment on reddit's childish comments based on their time on the main reddits and rarely visits the meat of reddit, which are the specific and targeted sub-reddit, are fly-by users. They never truly experienced reddit.

- laktose 16y agoIn other words, just like Digg.
- golgo13 16y agoTry /r/gonewild

- wazoox 16y agoIt already did, alas. A couple of years ago it was really nice, but even when selecting only a few potentially interesting reddits (programming, science, etc), some posts are OK but comments are more and more both useless and stupid. So finally I spend much more time on HN now. Though the problem is that probably most older reddit users will come there, then pushing the HN old-timers to start some alternate HN-clone :)
- ubernostrum 16y agoAs I always do when someone starts off on this flight of mythology, allow me to suggest that you read Clay Shirky's "A Group Is Its Own Worst Enemy": http://www.shirky.com/writings/group_enemy.html http://www.shirky.com/writings/group_enemy.html You may learn some things about these cycles of "I was on Site X and it was great, then went to crap, then I went to Site Y, then it went to crap..." which will surprise you, and which -- at least in my reading and based on my experience of spending the last decade building community-oriented sites -- hint that reddit's doing way, way better than HN.
- Mod_daniel 16y agoThanks for that link. This really, really hit home with me.
- dmooney1 16y agoExcept with reddit, people don't go to site Y, they go to /r/Y.
- studer 16y agoAm I the only one seeing a huge chunk of Viagra spam ("A proposito viagra 50 mg di pazienti affetti da malattie coronariche 10,8-11,8 arteria laureato rilevando ...") in the middle of that article?
- wazoox 16y agoMmmh... Yes, probably. Your PC must be infected.
