This is the sort of slippery slope which deteriorated the culture of Reddit. Here's an example of the front page from 5 years ago: http://mashable.com/2012/05/10/reddit-2007/ http://mashable.com/2012/05/10/reddit-2007/ If the users don't maintain a sense of courtesy and stay on topic, the noise to signal ratio will become intolerable.
- jspthrowaway2 14y agoReddit is a tough example, because of the plethora of subreddit topic areas. Almost every sub blessed with "default" status (visible logged-out and a default subscription for every new user) suffers extraordinarily due to their significant reach -- which is in line with your point. Example: /r/pics. There is still good content on Reddit if you find the good subs and learn to ignore and not perpetuate the overt sexism and racism that decorate that site like Christmas. (I think those are more to blame for killing Reddit. Internally, I'm calling it 4chanitis.)
- mnicole 14y agoContent isn't killing Reddit, users are. This post is clearly relevant to people based on the upvotes, yet here we are in a thread where someone decided it was more appropriate to condemn the post rather than acknowledge that it exists and people are happy that it does.
