Transcriptions please, these videos suck
I mean I get that this site has a hate boner for Reddit, but are we really going to look at platforms like Facebook/Meta, TikTok, Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube and unironically say that Reddit is worse than all of those?
Reddit is shit. All the others I listed are significantly shittier.
Doesn’t make the video any less true, maybe there will be videos about those platforms too
majority of the userbase on this site isn’t the type to go for context, or history, or facts. let alone doing any comparative analysis of relative harms
they prefer irrational obsession that blinds all reason and fact and really is just a avenue for expression rage and hate. then they blame it as a necessary response to the ‘other side’ or whatever issue they perceive themselves to be on the ‘right side’ of.
I don’t disagree, they’re all bad. I think reddit stands somewhere in the middle, and it all depends on what you value. For me, the combination of the bot problem and the weird need to hunt people down and harass them was what made me leave. This is specifically what the video I posted is about. The videos title is a little hyperbolic but it was early and I didn’t feel like coming up with a new one, my apologies for the bad headline.
What right wing bullshit is this? Painting x as “free speech” and glazing musk. Painting white people Twitter as worst than the Donald. Complaining about right wing being silenced. Just ideological drivel with a few facts thrown in
Twitter is an active Nazi nest. Reddit is recursive AI slop
Make no mistake, Reddit is a safe space for Nazis too. It may not be quite as obvious as the CEO doing a Nazi salute, but the admins actively support mods who promote pro-fascist disinformation.
One of the reasons I am here is because the AI/bot problem on reddit is getting too bad. I was a big contributor to the site but I just cannot deal with the slop anymore. I used the platform for like 17 years, but I am done.
I couldn’t go back if I wanted to.
Whats crazy is when I bring up the botting problem to friends, they say they dont care. Content is content
The video description is all advertisements, instead of a single detail about the video, itself. Sorry, if you’re gonna upload a 40-minute video and expect people to watch, you gotta give them SOME sort of summary about what’s in the video. Instead, they took that opportunity to advertise random, uncurated bullshit to you.
Maybe YouTube is the worst platform.
F*CK
EDDI
!!!
The video is a decent overview of some of the more well-known issues with reddit, but reddit is so much worse than what this video covers. https://maximiliankohler.blogspot.com/2023/06/reddit-is-dangerous-humanity-needs-an-alternative.html
Great read. Makes me feel a lot less alone with the issues I’m facing. Interesting.
