I have been on Reddit for three years now. I only went there because I heard it was a big place and I wanted to check it out for the hell of it. The main reason why I stuck around Reddit for as long as I have is because of meetups in New Jersey. I was about 23 or 24 when I first joined and I was looking to meet new people. I wasn't really looking for profound discussion when I joined Reddit. As I started to know the site, I saw that a lot of discussions really went nowhere as both sides of an argument could be really nasty. So I wanted no part of it. I was used to message board arguments and saw most arguments as pointless because no one really learned anything from them. All they did was shout at each other and I saw it as a waste of time. Since I was never really ingrained in the Reddit Community, I have never developed any Reddit argument traits.
