I use reddit daily. Love it. Way more content than Hubski. But I also don't have pretty much anything that's a part of r/all or the defaults. I don't go there for news, politics, etc. Because it's garbage for that.

But I do go there for this. I go there for r/Drugs, r/RedditLaqueristas, r/Tinder, r/Woodworking, r/Mustang, r/WhatIsThisPlant, r/BirdsWithArms, and r/NatureIsFuckingLit. Because the internet is fun time for me, and Reddit at its heart for me is just a forum site that is super effective at getting me the information that I need for hobbies and stuff. And memes.

Hubski is more thought time for me, which is why I don't always make time for it. My mind gets space taken up by other things, and so I do those things. Memes require a hell of a lot less brain power and commitment to take a look at.

So a profile for Reddit doesn't really mean anything to me. Your profile was already your comment history anyway, and very few people are going to be stupid enough to link a photo, and their name to their reddit profile (Ken Bone, ha!). It's the reason google+ failed (among other reasons), why would Reddit be any different. Although I hope my girlfriend makes one so I can creep on her shit.
