> The only topic I use reddit for is politics. Maybe I'm different, but for me, reading about politics it's important to read about opinions that differ from mainstream and might not be accepted everywhere, to challenge my own opinions. And the format of "upvoted content at the top" really works against that. Traditional forums where the format is "oldest content at the top" works much better for it. I've found technical content (where facts are just facts) works much better with the reddit model (and HN).
