Low effort posts and low effort comments in every thread. It was to the point where Reddit felt like call and response to me.
Also, there was no way to contribute to the posts on the front page because they were overloaded with comments. There was always an arms race on who got the top comment on a post that had the potential to get a lot of traction— which means the quippiest comments were always the first.
It’s intellectual junk food.
Call me corny but a little floppy disk or a globe or something could be cool
