    It just depends on the subreddits you're subscribed to really. Some of my favorite sfw subreddits:

    The mystery of the soda.
    Safety First!
    SFW Porn Gifs

    Yeah there are parts of reddit that are atrocities, but the ones actually dedicated to sharing information or just posting goofy stuff (instead of BitCoins and MRAs) can be pretty good. I know r/banishedmaps is a great place to find seeds for Banished for one minor example.

    Yes, I use it fairly often, but I usually cringe pretty hard when people start talking about reddit...outside of reddit. Bonus if they mention narwhals or bacon.

    The "average redditor" can be a pretty pitiful human being, too. "I was 2 smrt 4 high school so I was bored and didn't live up 2 my potential so now I'm here living with my mom/working at McDonalds/hating my life and it's the world's fault". They can be nice people at times, but the hivemind is out of control up their own asses.

    And despite all of this I spend more time there than I'd really like to.

    sometimes the medical related subreddits have medical horror stories which I like to read and then squirm about and then share with others against their will.

    I think I have an account that I used to yell at and/or praise someone once but hell if I can remember it.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    I have an account on Reddit, but I don't think I've ever signed in after making it. I can't remember. I've been on Reddit to see some AMA type stuff. For a period of a week, I liked to read interesting stories people had to say on the Glitch in the Matrix subreddit (I think this was called) and different scary story subreddits.

    I hate reddit. That nested style is just really gross and results in far too many splintered conversations and upvote-bait.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    A site that gathers content from all over the internet/community contributions based on specific categories. Content is voted on by users who created accounts by upvoting or downvoting the links that are posted and/or the comments within those threads. Part of the benefit of being a user there is that you can subscribe to whatever subreddits interest you to make the experience unique to you.

    Like all sites, there are many downsides, and the community can be awful, but it's really not that hard to avoid the negativity, in my opinion.

    I primarily use reddit as a time wasting device, and it has a secondary use of providing information. Most of the information I get for the collectors editions stuff comes from reddit. The community is pretty awful, and content is really hard to promote on the bigger pages such as ""Gaming" or "Funny" with around 5,000,000 followers. Reddit is good for niche subreddits dedicated to individual topics. i for one check out /r/nintendo and /r/3DS to find out nintendo related news. /r/WiiU sucks though. I was recently voted 5 for 30 against for criticising a recent news post from nintendoStory is there was a group of guys called Mega 64 that were asked to promote the Smash Brothers event for nintendo that is coming up. Players can go to best buy and play smash brothers during E3. my criticism was that the video was pointless and only needed 30 seconds to tell me the news I needed, but it dragged on for 5 minutes. They didn't like criticism so used the downvote function to hide my comments. Free speech, ya'll

    I use it for the #topbantz on r/soccer and r/cricket, with some occasional r/unitedkingdom. Some people take it all (and the internet in general) far too seriously though and you end up with some pretty ridiculous arguments.

    I love reddit. Once I unsubscribed from the douchey main subreddits and subscribed to more niche ones (such as specifically fallout or final fantasy VII or cityPorn). A lot of reddit on the main pages is wannabe 4chan trolls, but a lot of it is pretty clever and fun stuff. You really can mold it to what you want to see though. If you aren't a atheist don't subscribe to /r/atheism, but if you like foxes sub to /r/foxes. It's pretty individualistic.
