Eh, not too hard to fix. Make it so that paid ads will automatically get 10,000 up votes, that would do it.

Why are people still using Reddit ?

Why are people still using Reddit?

Looking at the first page of my latest comments on reddit, I have some from /r/Wichita, /r/dndmemes, /r/titanfall, /r/KSPMemes, /r/wendigoon, /r/HeyRiddleRiddle, /r/DungeonMeshi, /r/Mythbusters, /r/TheLastAirbender, /r/gurrenlagann, /r/astrophotography, /r/haibanerenmei, /r/yourlieinapril, and /r/LandOfTheLustrous. There are far more, but that's just the first page.

A few of these have fediverse equivalents, most of them don't. None of them ever see active discussion on this platform. Even the ones that do will often go weeks or months between posts. Contrast that with /r/Wichita, which let me know 6 hours in advance that a capsule returning astronauts from the space station was going to fly over us at 4:38 AM on March 12th. Being able to see that made using reddit that day absolutely worth it.

Why is any one at all using FaceBook Inc.?

If you can answer that question the yours swallows the crumbles falling out the mouth.
