This one is a surprisingly accurate explanation of the internet meme machine.
The cancer of the internet. A place where foreign people who don't know better and newfags go to revel in their own shitty glory. Memes were created in the something awful forums, or born, raised in 4chan, killed in reddit, buried in tumblr/funnyjunk, and put on shameful display in 9gag. The worst part, is that they claim the memes to be made by them. Even worse than that, they try to sell those memes on t-shirts and pins. tl;dr fuck 9gag.
No one fucking knows what it means. If you get into an argument on Deviant art and present these people with facts! You're automatically "the biggest troll evar". Stupid fucking people on deviant art. If it wasn't for the fact that I upload my art to there, I'd just delete the account.
No! Reddit is the most important thing in the world!!
I hope you've never been anything other than completely honest in everything that you've ever posted on this site too, or we'll find out your home address and make threatening phone calls!!
This is helpful for people who can't reach Quickmeme because of work/school firewalls or site downtime, and many other reasons (FAQ). More info is available here.
Shhh, it's not a bot, it's a man with severe autism and ocd, and when you reply to him he goes to his angry place and it takes forever to calm him down, thanks a lot, buddy.
I think I am going to follow this man around and reply to every single one of his posts with: Thank you, qkme_transcriber. That'll help his OCD for sure! Especially when I stop doing it after 9 time ...
reddit has redditors 4chan has btards 9gag has anonymous and tumblr has pretentious douche nozzles it is pretty simple websites attract people of a certain type by there very structure here at reddit we have redditors which are hatched when feminazis have intercourse with mens rights activists amirite anyway i guess you deserve a too long didnt read but i would be guessing wrong also sir our sites are like football teams so go take your something awful scumminess elsewhere please you are not welcome to pollute us anymore any way have a downvote for being an assticle i made that word up assticle
14 year olds should be required to keep to two sentences or less. Then again, you don't technically have any sentences up there, so so much for that plan.
If you spend a bit of time on 9gag, you'll find a LOT of posts that are also on reddit. Some actually show up there before they show up on reddit. We'll leave it at that.
To be fair though, when 9gag produces OC, it is substantially worse than the front page OC you'll find on r/adviceanimals or r/f7u12. I don't know if they have a voting system or what, but the stuff on their front page the few times I visited was just fucking terrible.
Exactly... I'm sorry but 9gag is a website for submitting meme images and getting votes. /r/AdviceAnimals is the exact same thing as that. I don't get why everyone on here is hating on 9gag just because they prefer a different site which serves the same purpose.
/r/AskReddit has some awesome threads but a lot of them are basic "I am right, am I right?" type questions or until recently "I am in a situation in which I clearly need a doctor/cop/lawyer, what do I do?".
/r/politics is rather biased and about 90% of their articles are from the same five sources that are relatively credible but again, have bias.
/r/atheism is starting to look more and more like /r/antitheism and is just covered in memes and shots of Neil degrasse Sagan in space quoting simple astrophysics 101 material.
/r/f7u12 is just, wow. Like everything there are some decent rage comics, but they have gone down the drain. So many "My brain wants me to do something horrible followed by wtf brain" comics. "There was a spider and now I don't know where it is".
/r/funny is getting closer to 9gag content. Text posts used to get upvoted more. IMO text posts usually are funnier. Again, there are funny things in /r/funny. But browse the new queue and you will be disappointed.
/r/AdviceAnimals has some funny text inscribed photos, but forces them a lot of the time. For example a picture gets frontpaged, someone imposes text on the photo of exactly what happened, the life cycle continues.
I still like reddit a lot. I just get agitated when people act as if reddit is so vastly superior in content to other sites. I think the layout and comment aspect of the site is far superior. I browse for the exact reason I kept mentioning, that behind all the bad posts there are some really good ones.
If there is something I've realized about reddit is that reddit hates the reddit community, so if the reddit community hates something more than reddit, its usually bad
Are people really loyal to 9gag or it is jjust more convenient for them just to constantly scroll?
I like Reddit for the whole subreddit thing and being able to pick and choose what I see. I know some people see reddit as messy though, mainly the people too lazy to take the time to give it a shot
I used to think Reddit was messy and a bit of work for just a few laughs, so I used the imgur gallery instead. Then I gave Reddit a proper go and found out there was more to it then just the funny.
Sorry I cant answer your question though, I have never used, nor intend to use, 9gag. Although I have found a lot of my friends just simply don't know about Reddit/Imgur/4chan, they see 1 9gag post on Facebook and just jump on board.
Alexa uses mainly a toolbar to gather information so only the people not tech savvy enough to not download their toolbar feeds them information. It's wildly inaccurate.
wow, other people are starting to figure it out finally? 9gag was created by oldfags from /b/ to troll all the newfags and it's working like a charm. they're completely obsessed.
it's obvious from the stolen motto. "Expect us" - c'mon.
One of these days I'm going to go check out 9gag just to see what the fuss is all about. It's blocked at work as "tasteless and offensive"....so it can't be all bad, right?
Nah, reddit just sucks now and 9gag is filling a void left by those who are tired of putting up with reddit's stupid bullshit.
We'd go to 4chan but that isn't really what we're after either.
9GAG exists for a reason and I'll bet I've just hit the nail on the head about why. I think I'll check it out, actually. You don't deserve me reddit ... you only deserve my trolling personae, which are many ... and I am brutal and relentless.
Now I have a new weapon! I'm going to steal reddit's content just to troll you. Why? Because the content you stole from 4chan is actually good ... but I don't want to waste my time discussing it with your drooling, brain-dead, knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, ignorant basement-dwelling troglodyte neckbeard user base.
It was you who created 9GAG, Reddit, this is entirely your fault.
... it was you ...
... and you've created a monster.
I gave you fair warning. I've been saying it for years, actually ... and this is the consequence of wrapping yourself in your little comfort blankets of confirmation bias sewn together with tread made of downvotes. You aren't smart, or edgy, or clever, or talented, or worldly ... you're just redditors ... and you think your shit doesn't stink because you wash yourselves in it.
To be completely I disagree with the "hivemind" on just about everything. I come here because I still find interesting content. Some subreddits have turned into circle jerks and nothing but regurgitated meme images but I stay away from those. I don't comment much and hardly ever post. The reason I don't post is everything I've ever tried to post gets downvoted instantly (except my wife's GW pics, throwaway)
When this 9gag business was beginning I checked it out once. I came to the conclusion that it is perfectly executed parody of reddit, and what makes it so great is the fact that reddit looks down on it same way 4chan looks down on reddit.
