What I noticed with Reddit/Facebook is that it reduces content to soundbites/memes/quotes that are consumed in a few seconds before we move on to something else, whereas before it was more common to read a full article on a website or newspaper. It's like what has been done with food, instead of taking the time to cook a full meal at home we often choose to snack or eat fast food because it has a higher degree of instant satisfaction. This is something that should be resisted in my opinion. Choose the New York Times over Scumbag Steve.
