> things as stupid as I see on reddit

The majority of comments I encounter on Reddit are jokes that are at least mildly amusing, and some of them are hilarious. If I had to describe Reddit comments with one word, I’d say funny, not stupid.



The first year I spent on Reddit I thought so too.

But those funny comments are often themselves memes, repeated in reply in similar contexts.

Reddit has become one big circle jerk to my eyes. It's why I'm on HN, because I'm addicted but hate the community on Reddit.


Don't forget karma bots that simply repeat the top rating comment from the last submission of the same url.

Yeah, but they’re still funny. Better that than hate speech.


I’m with GP, I find most reddit comments to be immature/ignorant.
