Any one on Reddit?

Recommended Posts

What are your favorite subs?

NON POLITCAL, please 

I find myself reading - Am I the Azzhole? (AITA, AITAH) there are some good ones on there. 

And then just random ones about books, psychiatry, TV shows, etc.

I regularly read Battlebots and Gold Rush ones after a new show. I'm subscribed to some for my work too(editing, motion graphics), but don't read them too much. There are better places to get information regarding my field.  

The only other one that I find myself going back to over and over again is one about the Zodiac killer. Have spent more than a few hours there.  I possibly may have spent sometime on the Making a Murderer page too.  :unsure:

I don’t have an account and since WPD sub-reddit was removed, I don’t go there unless a search takes me there…

If I don't get the results I want from a Google search, I'll add "reddit" to the end of the search phrase to hone in on those.  This is usually for how-to stuff, product reviews, etc.  Never political crap.

Oh, yeah! The Making A Murderer page is good.

Excellent, these are great. 

I will check out a few of them.

Reddit doesn't tolerate much. Had to start a new account last year after getting a few warnings from some rough jokes.  Then I posted in some news headline ... can't remember exactly - something about an extremist nut who was calling for gays to be exterminated. 

"I don't agree...  but I don't disagree either."       BANNED  

Ok, bad joke. But banned for simply not agreeing with the side I was supposed to?  Jeesh.  I no longer visit news headlines. Can't help myself from making stupid comments.

Why would anyone need any other forum except here?  This place is perfect and provides all the information one could ever need!!!

Oh yeah, they've made a pretty strong pro-LGBTQ+ stance.

On a more serious note, I don't have an account there but if it comes up in a Google search I am willing to read threads about a topic I'm reaearching.  Much like the MSM I can use critical thinking skills to wade through the garbage and find the useful information.  It's also been a good source of links to PPV sporting events I want to watch but not pay for.

If you are looking for information on a specific product or DIY task, it is a great resource.  I just don't go to the main page anymore.  The quality went downhill fast.

90% of the most popular subs are moderated by the same 5 people, and they all have an agenda.

The political subs are absolute cesspools.  And the amount of good posts that people rip off and pass as their own for "upvotes" is just stupid.  After a while, it is the same old regurgitated drivel.
