Reddit has two use cases.
It has the "logged out" snapshot of what's going on in the world/internet use case, much like digg or slashdot or fark fulfilled in the past.
Then when you get tired or annoyed by that it has the "curate what you want to see" use case.
The one audience tends to transition to the other over time but there's a huge amount of people who visit reddit for the first and not the second.
- 0xffff2 7y agoI actually go the other way. One a typical day, I usually read all of the interesting stories on the front page of HN, then read all of the interesting content on my Reddit front page. On slow days where I have nothing better to do, if I manage to exhaust the first two I'll switch to r/popular to get a bit of a taste of what the internet at large is up to.
