I'm 15 (gulp, I'll try my best to be as intelligent as possible), and I was driven away from Reddit because there was no new ideas or discussion. The reason the blame was placed on the younger users was because the original users of Reddit were older. Reddit got worse not because of the age of people, but because people were trying to appeal to the most common denominator of intelligence to the get the most upvotes, so posts and comments just got dumber and dumber. That's my take on it anyway, it may well be my generation.
I see what you mean. Instead of trying to raise the quality of content people saw it was easier to dilute it down and the city people who tried otherwise were sort of expelled from the site they had created. On another note don't you feel it's a bit weird that we are nearly ashamed of our age.
Yeah, but since I'm in high school, I interact with my peers everyday. I see how they act, and they exemplify the stereotype for teenagers on the web, obsessed with memes and caring little for actual discussion. I don't feel ashamed of my age, I mean it is what it is, but I feel embarrassed to be associated with people like that.On another note don't you feel it's a bit weird that we are nearly ashamed of our age.
