| It is a good site, except it has ONE problem that KILLS it. The karma system. People don't even debate with you on the site. If you have an unpopular opinion that everyone disagrees with, they will give you negative karma EVEN if your opinion is the correct one. You will receive so much negative karma for your post that your post will become hidden. Hiding someone's post by giving it negative karma is basically a form of censorship, and this especially sucks if someone is saying something that is correct but the masses are too dumb to agree with it. Similarly, if someone agrees with your comment, they will give you positive karma. So even if your opinion is complete and utter nonsense, if enough people agree with it, then you will receive a ton of positive karma. As anyone with half-a-brain should know, just because an opinion is more popular doesn't make it the RIGHT option. For example, in Nazi Germany, they believed that Jews were evil and needed to be exterminated. That was the most popular opinion back then, but did that make it right? Nope it doesn't. Similarly unpopular opinions are often the right opinions. For example, only a small minority of people believed that the Earth revolved around the sun back in Galileo's time. Just because only a small percentage of people believed in the opinion didn't mean that opinion was wrong. In fact, it is the right opinion because it can be proven that the Earth revolved around the sun, and not the other way around. Reddit would be a much better site if nobody one was allowed to give negative karma (and thereby no one would be able to censor unpopular views). Or better yet, Reddit would be much better if there wasn't a karma system at all, because all the karma system does it induce conformity and censor unpopular but correct view points. |

| Never been on that site before. I have a friend who's always on it though. |

| Reddit is cool. The community can suck a lot at times, but just find a decent subreddit and stay away from front page shit. When r/adviceanimals was taken off default, I found the place to be so much more enjoyable. DesuMaiden said: Stopped reading right here.It is a good site, except it has ONE problem that KILLS it.

| Some sub-reddits are okay, the main page is garbage. |
| how is an opinion correct or wrong? |
   |
| I don't have a strong opinion on reddit. It's filled with garbage, but I've stumbled upon some good subreddits in the past as well, although I've never felt like involving myself on the site or create an account. Browsing reddit is fucking tedious for me as well. |
| i really just go on there for /r/softwareswap |
| Worse than 4chan, cause it's not even funny sometimes. |

VanguardWolf said: The Karma System is a minior issue if you are dealing with decent communites. Reddit probably would be less popular without the Karma System ... the fucking site is based on the concept of circle jerking and that is the only reason it has so many damn (dumb) users otherwise it would be just another internet forum with bad design ... the only other good thing is the sign up. Username and password that's all you need ... feels like heaven. I agree with you. The circle-jerking on Reddit is disgusting. The people on the site are too stupid to think on their own and form their own opinions. And yeah, it is easy as hell to create your own account on the site. What sucks about the site is that it prevents you from posting comments frequently if you don't have a high enough karma. And since karma is completely pointless and retarded, why restrict how much someone can post based on how much karma they have? If you remove Reddit's karma system, the site would be much better and there would be far less circle-jerking idiots on the site. |

| I don't visit Reddit frequently enough to have a valid opinion about it. |
 |
| i like it for the subreddits |
| RRRRRRRRRR |
| It's interesting enough for me to check it fairly regularly. The karma system is terrible for discussion though. Only cheep jokes/puns make it to the top (not that I don't enjoy them) and any opinion that the community disagrees with gets downvoted into oblivion. The issues are most prominent with celebrity topics I find. There are certain people that you just can't say anything bad about on reddit and others whom it's a crime to compliment.

The funny thing is Youtube has a karma system too, but unlike Reddit, it isn't abused as much by idiots. I wonder why Youtube's karma system is much less abused than Reddit's though. |

| I used to visit there for the Twitch plays pokemon updates and fan art. It was a pretty good outlet for that sort of thing. Now I never go there since I don't have a reason to. |
| It's a shitty website for shitty people who say shitty things and aren't even so stupid that it's funny. |
| Some shit on there is hilarious, but sometimes the community can get really stupid |
 |
| I don't understand how the website works. |
~ça vax~ |
| I love, love Reddit, mainly for the content, but also for the community. While there are a lot of trolls and idiots, there are a lot of wonderful people as well. |
 |
| I do not care about the karma system. Who cares about internet points. The community can suck sometimes. Its layout is ugly but at least it loads fast. |

ThisNameSucks said: I do not care about the karma system. Who cares about internet points. The community can suck sometimes. Its layout is ugly but at least it loads fast. Your karma does kinda matter, because if your karma is low, then you can't post frequently. The whole karma system is fucking stupid, and they are better off without it. I find karmawhore extremely annoying. Even more annoying than idiotic moralists. |

| The anime subreddit is full of people that have a lower powerlevel than my cat. |
| Karma doesn't work well on that site although the idea itself isn't too bad. Imo the IQ on RapGenius is perfect and isn't abused. |

The idea is flawed because people use karma as a means of stifling dissent...if you don't agree with a comment, then give it negative karma. If you agree with it, give it positive karma. In an ideal world people would just be debating with each other with words and not karma. |
