Reddit is exhausting. One big feedback loop. People will say anything to get good karma or avoid saying certain things to avoid being down voted. If there is even just a slight majority in the way the group thinks, it will soon become the dominate opinion.
For example, there was a voice actor that lied about being paid a pitiful sum of money for a gig. Everyone took her side initially (as one should _if_ it were true) but the people saying "well, this just seems odd" were being more or less attacked and told their opinions were awful.
The quality of discussions I have on HN and niche forums are 100x better than reddit.
