I do still use Reddit occasionally but it's because I've sorted through a lot of it and frontpaged about 50 small subreddits tailored to my interests and un-front-paged basically all the major ones. That reminds me, if AMA shows up here, I'm also going to punch my screen. But what does amaze me is how the front page changes between before I log in, and after. The front page is basically an imageboard now. That's great...if you don't like thinking

I have nothing wrong with imageboards. From time to time, I browse 4chan and 2chan just because the cultures fascinate me. What bothers me about images on reddit is that they prefer to make it honest instead of having a story to it. Then when you check the comments, the wide range of them all seem to lack the weight of wit. And the jokes are predictable. Maybe this is what it feels to be growing up.
