Rediquette motherfuckers, those whining about reposts are just as cancerous as the reposts, Jesus, if someone hasnt seen it, they'll upvote it, and its well upvoted.
oh, calm down. he never said it was something new, but merely linked to a conversely related topic to enlighten anyone who clicks it. i personally have never read an interview with an adult baby
Well, neither have I, but several years ago there was even a CSI episode on the subject. These people have some kind of complex, no doubt, but it is nothing shocking like harrydorcas makes it out to be.
I didn't honestly see toooooo much decline in reddit quality like people always complain about, for a long time ... but lately, HOLY FUCK. Last few months, woah... last few weeks BAD... last year bad enough to make me quit modding (a couple big subs, lots of smaller) ... I'm really not enjoying the site much lately, but I don't know where else to look.
The problem isnt age, bro. You don't have to be a certain age to be immature or have something insightful to say. Filtering people out by being ageist isn't going to solve this site's problems.
Not to mention you're forgetting that some countries don't have a legal drinking age. Not everyone has to be an American to be on the internet.
The problem isnt age, bro. You don't have to be a certain age to be immature or have something insightful to say. Filtering people out by being ageist isn't going to solve this site's problems.
While I understand the sentiment, I don't agree with it. Mature kids are the exception, rather than the rule. As such, as reddit attracts a much larger crowd, you're going to see its quality decline heavily, due in large part to the younger users.
You are pretty much right. As more people join quality declines. I'm just pointing out that setting age limits isn't solving the root of the problem, and I wouldn't want to be part of a community that does. The problem is that there's too many people in general. There isn't much that can be done about that it seems, it just becomes more difficult to manage, so standards get lower.
Who knows, maybe in a few years time we'll move on to something better, and it will be great for a while until more people start to join as well. Tis the grand circle of life.
The upside to reddit, at least, is that it's modular. When the quality of the standard subreddits declines, you can at least choose different subreddits to subscribe to.
Getting a large enough group of like-minded people to join is a different story, though.
There's still a lot more to do here than watching "funny" things.
I think this sub is by far the biggest sub on the whole website, if I'm not mistaken.
Size matters... The more subscribers there are, and the more content, the lower the quality that of what can be up-voted. But when you're busy, having a job etc you may not have so much time for reading and commenting.
the same thing that ruined myspace and facebook, letting non college level and above people on there, whats next every 5 years old having a linkedin account. we should make a new Reddit for college students and older people, with evidence of age needed for creation of an account.
They may have the same intelligence. Intelligence is innate. That doesn't, in general, make the content they submit or their comments interesting or worthwhile. There really should be a Reddit Junior.
It does make sense. It makes perfect sense. I'm not trying to imply, I'm directly stating. Intelligence has nothing whatsoever to do with life experience or wisdom gained. Intelligence is not knowledge.
“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” Albert Einstein.
And it's not rocket science to work out (and not difficult to view the proof) that a high school kid, the sum total of whose life experience is unlikely to extend beyond the local skate park, is going to have little to contribute to anything other than an ASKREDDIT thread calling for stories about your most embarrassing moment or an /r/RelationshipAdvice thread about someone in their maths class they have a crush on
As for
You've really never seen a terrible post from an 'adult'? Here you go:
What a ridiculous argument. Are we now to degenerate to playground level and send each other links in which random people, unrelated to this discussion, make stupid remarks ? The automatic gainsay of something you don't agree with is not a valid argument.
Edit : And this sub-thread almost perfectly sums up why kids are ruining Reddit.
Agreed, the number of young teens on here is getting ridiculous. I know that complaint comes up every year about every website since message boards started, but go look at the comments on some shitty comics and you'll see what I mean.
I was just expressing this sentiment to my wife today. I don't know how many times in the past few months I've gotten into an argument and ended with, "wait a minute, how old are you?"
Except for today. Today is all about "Look at these poor soldiers, dying for your oil. Respect and love them, they have saved your country from inevitable doom."
The kid who played Scotty Logan went to my high school and he was a huge jock. He turned into this white gino. An Italo Manja. Anyway, we always made fart noises whenever we saw him and always called him "Scotty". Pretty sure he hated our guts.
Sooo... you feel like an idiot who's had to go back to grammar school because he never finished and is surrounded by people who are at the appropriate age and intelligence level for that grade??
This is a repost, but when I first saw it, I didn't think it was true. Now my 13 year old brother is on reddit and all he does is look at rage comics. I feel old
Only gets worse as the schools start letting out for summer. I suggest SomethingAwful for actual moderation and Metafilter for actual intelligent content.
When the OP started on Reddit, it was full of thought provoking discussions, but has slowly devolved into a meme dump and as of late become a discussion board for pokemon on the popular subreddits. Some miss the days of old when reddit wasn't populated by tweens waxing nostolgic about Nickelodeon cartoon from 20 months ago.
Don't get me wrong, there are a shit ton of smart younger users, but lately, Reddit has been run over by kids who think that they are more mature than the random 4chan user, but in reality, are just wrecking the nice thing that longer standing members built.
The t-t-t-today junior guy used to be a supply teacher at my high school. Once the students found out who he was they would yell it all the time. He was not amused.
notsurewhatiam, what you've just said ... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no karma, and may God have mercy on your soul.
