How to not expect anything from anyone reddit
Casually Explained: Reddit
Timecodes:
reddit is one of the biggest websites in
the world and is more popular than ever
and if someone who's been there almost
every day for more than ten years
because I can't regulate my own behavior
I often see people either confused as to
how the website works are unfamiliar
with common etiquette that they really
need to know in order to fit in and I
want to make a bit of a guide so let's
start of course with the obvious how do
you navigate reddit now you might notice
that over here there's a search bar in
the upper right side of the website but
it's important to know that the search
bar is purely for aesthetic purposes and
serves no actual function there's in
fact currently no way of fighting things
on reddit the good news is that if you'd
like to view a post you've already seen
before you can simply go to the front
page and they'll all be there next as
you can see I have the default
subreddits along the top and these
individuals subreddits act as filters to
categorize posts on the website so if
you're into movies you can go to our
slash movies if you're into gaming you
can go to our slash gaming or if you're
into volunteering for children with
disabilities you can become a moderator
at our slash funny now when it comes to
how to use the website instead of making
content there are several advantages to
maximizing your time lurking and never
really posting anything take me for
example
I now know a small number of incorrect
facts about an extremely large number of
things but in contrast by posting and
commenting on reddit and you're able to
accumulate what's called karma or what's
basically a virtual tally of the amount
of times people have voted your
submissions now the first way to get
more karma is by commenting on a post
and the good news is that pretty much
every thread follows the same formula so
I'll let you know what to expect to get
you started a really witty and clever
comment that you thoroughly enjoyed only
to be ruined by an unending rambling of
edits as the person mounts their
internet soapbox and slowly descends
into insanity this is the online
equivalent of going to a Kanye concert a
concise and exhaustive summary of the
topic at hand that seems brilliantly
researched from someone who knows a lot
about the subject or reply to that
comment pointing out how everything they
just said was completely wrong a comment
that referenced is a reddit in joke or
meta post Colin ones you can throw out
in any situation to get upvotes are
Jolly Ranchers Doritos comm box coconut
today you tomorrow me 7 out of 10 with
rice banana for scale or I also choose
this guy's dead wife I'll link to a
related subreddit that you already know
or a hyperlink to an xkcd comic titled
relevant an extremely specific anecdote
that relates perfectly to the main PO
it seems almost too good to be true
until you're right at the end when you
remember the fact that in 1998 The
Undertaker threw mankind of Hell in a
Cell in plummeted 16 feet through an
announcers table the 69 gambit wearing a
top comment saying nice is followed by
dozens of comments replying to it also
saying nice every comment will have a
few hundred votes except for one that
will be at negative three thousand a
novelty account that actually
contributes in a meaningful way and
every time they appear you click on
their account to see if they've been
able to transfer their talents to
something else because you know they
deserve better than this and a terrible
pom thread where everyone gets pity
karma okay so the second way to accrue
reddit karma is by submitting a post to
a subreddit of your choosing and of
course been making a submission it's
important to know your audience now a
lot of people criticized reddit is being
predominantly male but if you go to the
front page is almost always filled with
big titties well that said if you're not
familiar with an individual subreddit it
can be hard to know the exact
demographics as an example if you go to
our slash teenagers it's mostly memes
made by white kids in high school who
want to get laid but if you go to our
slash black people Twitter as you might
expect it's exactly the same thing as
for the individuals sub reddits you need
to know what they're about and I wrote
about 80 of these but then decided to
cut them down to the most popular ones
because I had a bit of a crisis that I
made it that far our /aw is where you
post a picture of the kitten you rescued
from the side of the road after you flew
to Hong Kong and saved it from the
tyranny of Activision Blizzard our
slouch makeup addiction is for makeup
and makeup tutorials our slash
relationship advice is for breakups and
breakup tutorials

opinions our slash funny links you to

slash picks is for creative writing
formula one makes you want to buy a
Mercedes shower thoughts is for copy
pasting something you read in the
comments section earlier 3d printing is
literally the opposite of printing money
our / videos is where I go to remember
the good old days our sloshed Enders

possibility of love watch it for the
plot is only for the most detail

artists such as Arctic Monkeys Daft Punk
Queen tame impala and gorillas mildly
interesting actually completely delivers
and again that's just the main subreddit
so there's thousands more but they're
pretty much all Instagram memes so at
this point it's pretty natural to ask
alright I've been here for years posting
every day and commenting on thousands of
pieces of content just like you said
what can I do with all my reddit Karma
and that's a great question now once
you've had your fill in reddit you might
say to yourself okay I'd like to go now
but unfortunately one of the worst parts
of going on reddit is that you can't get
off not figuratively of course half the
web site is porn but in the literal
sense because even if you close the
browser window and pick up your phone
muscle memory will cause you to
immediately reopen the app and once
you've reached this point I'm afraid
it's too late you've been assimilated
you'll start to notice that you're
indifferent to everything before Super
Nintendo and hate everything after
Bakugan you're nostalgic for yugioh
Dragon Ball Z and any of the Pokemon up
to Ruby and Sapphire and nothing makes
you angrier than fortnight tick-tock and
rich people you work in IT and do
development on the side as when you
built your own computer ones you have
anxiety and mild depression but haven't
tried fixing it and you're in love with
Keanu Reeves and Henry Cavill until a
month from now when they make a small
mistake now all your real-life
conversations start with
so is reading this article but you
really mean you skimmed the headline and
read the comments section you'd rather
give out your social security number
than your username and despite your best
efforts to resist it every time you see
the next global calamity gracing the
world news you hang your head in shame
clench your fists and whisper we did it
read it
