Should I?

>never used Reddit
Then you don't belong here.
>Should I?
Yes, unironically the nicest site out there, lots of great subreddits and the best memes.
Also, you get gold and karma.
yes and I agree with this
>updoot
I'm highly skeptical. Why should I make an account and participate in mock communities?
They is a wide veriety of communities on reddit. Some fucking cancer, and some that unironicly feel like Jow Forums. Go for it.
>Why should I make an account and participate in mock communities?
Because reddit is the frontpage of the internet kind sir.
Reddit is useful if you want to talk about one very specific thing for hours and hours and hours. Among all of the major online communities, it's the one that probably has the highest tolerance for in-depth discussion. But the community dynamics there are pretty bad. Reddit gives off this distinct vibe that you need to visit it to understand, it can't really be captured in words. But it's basically overly polite, fake-nice, and hive-mind-ish. Expect a lot of posts about 'this community is the best group of people I've ever met, you changed my life' and such things. It's all incentivized by the karma system.

you fucking pieces of shit really need to leave this fucking website. you fucking 13-16 yr old newfag reddit nigs are the ones responsible for this sites slow death. you've ruined this sanctum of autism. there is nothing left here. leave.
>you fucking pieces of shit really need to leave this fucking website.
Toxicity such as this is why reddit is so much better. Poeple like you are the problem.
I find it quite humorous that people do not see the bait.
Lads, I think we've found a winner, the dumbest bait of all time
There are literally no oldfags left on Jow Forums. Everyone who is seriously an autist has moved to wizchan.
2009 was the last year reddit existed before getting eternal september'd by the digg refugees and becoming a vile hive of normalfaggotry.
Reddits high amount of subcommunities is its best features but it literally has three goddamned layers of censorship. Downvotes, moderators, and admins. It encourages people to make posts which don't challenge what people already believe. It's really bad at discussing things where there isn't an objectively right answer because anything subjective becomes a circlejerk popularity contest.
reddit is only good for piracy
Literally the only thing reddit is useful for and not completely overrun with cancer are the completely objective subs with no discussion. It's a great source for what all those old, dead forums did, but FUCK the discussion boards.
>be on Jow Forums
>see anons complimenting reddit
low quality bait. What are you doing here?
Thanks for the pic, OP. That body is godly.
To answer your question, there's really no incentive to use it. If you're looking for comedy it's all just recycled and reused memes, nothing there is original. If you're looking for intellectual/deep conversations, you'll get ousted and shit on for having a non-leftist opinion or something that's extremely gay. The question shouldn't be why should I get r*ddit, the question should be why would I use r*ddit.
