Without being bitchy or unfair or polemical, what is this site's honest role in politics and culture 21 years after its debut? It is widely-considered one of the biggest and most important communication vectors in the modern west, so we might as well have an honest discussion.

Containment board for lefties whose censorship makes the DPRK look moderate

It's always been shit, but foreign states running LLMs 24/7 have made it even more awful.

It's just state actor bots and trannies arguing all day.

Some subreddits like geopolitics and world news is like 90% bots.
>>
It's a 90-110 IQ hyper oversocialised outer normie containment zone, propaganda echo chamber, and legitimising force.

Its main function is to feed AI data, which will be censored and shaped by politicians and shadowy bureaucracies.

>>543414437
>in the modern west
maybe like 15 years ago.
now there are legit more indians and SEAs and South Americans. all of these groups can speak English well.
it's basically, unless your country have your own language and segregated Internet like china korea japan, everyone living on Earth goes to Reddit. this site is no longer just Americans gathering about.

plebbit is unironically midwit central, everybody with a luke warm IQ gets to farm updoots by other dimwits there, unintentionaly pedelling the most milk toast, chickenshit, borderline retard policies just for the sake of sounding smart and sophisticated. The whole platform is build upon this principle of catering and egostroking the most desperate and low IQ/ low Value people. It makes me sick just thinking about this cesspool of absolute fucking jewish tools and goyim, makes me fucking putrid with vile hate for them.

I'll be as unfair and polematic as I want, and you can be less bitchy about it.

It's role is to radicalize and induce ideological conformity into people, toward politically left wing ideology.
That is the entire point of combining an upvote system, with heavy mod control.
You steer the user base toward a general ideological direction, and over time you prune and further focus it, into an ever more narrow window of acceptable expressions.

This is accomplished from the combination of moderation and reinforcing a sense of the community having an overwhelming group consensus in the direction that is be moderated over to steer it toward the intended goal over time.

AI is already very obnoxious. Im starting to see it being used and the future is bleak.
midwit machine and consensus engine to help Lowest Common Denominator blend in and assert the narrative while surveiling everyone.

we have developed a hell device
>>
>>543414437
>what is this site's honest role in politics and culture 21 years after its debut?
I think it's very important in very specific niches. AI, reinforcing already popular trends, coordination.

A lot of discourse is on Twitter, Discord and Instagram because those platforms only care about what is punchy rather than what is considered broadly acceptable. That's always been the albatross around Reddit's neck — The vote system makes things that are "weird" propagate less.

they have a "boydinnerdiary" now on the front page that is some faggot jeet bitch whining about his life.
the site is unbelievably gay and destructive.

milk toast is funny if you meant it on purpose so I'll allow it. but it's milquetoast in case you want to not look like an idiot next time

The front page is not fixed. It is dynamically-generated from your account behavior and preferences.

is a shithole and always will be
if you are a dumb goyim you will be mind controlled by demonic forces, but that is the same as everywhere else.

I guess the main use of AI in the future will be manipulating midwits, similar to the role of Christianity. Hell, most midwits already seem to think AI is god like and are only one step away from worshiping it outright.

This is bait.

Reddit is completely worthless. It's all bots, bots talking to other bots, and re-posts. The only thing I like about reddit is sometimes the subreddit for the place you live can be handy.
>>
>>543415159
I don't have an account nigga. go right now and there will be some jeet complaining >Boy dinner diary

for a long time there was a post about either Holocaust or ww2 on the front page at least once a day. I thought about keeping track but just stopped going.

They have a subreddit for "hot takes" like "men dating younger women is le bad!" and "women in modern AAA games aren't ugly they're hot!"

It was never good or that influential. A Jewish woman (from New York) tried really hard to get me to sign up for it in 2006, and at the time I just saw it as a shittier version of digg, which was never good either, so I never signed up. Do you know what I missed? Absolutely nothing.

I couldn't articulate it at the time but upvotes seem like a good way to curate content on the surface because "bad content" doesn't get votes, so you can see it as a kind of filtration process. But this assumes that the vast majority people know what they're doing, and upvote rationally. They actually don't, very often people vote for things that others have voted for, if they see something positive, they'll add to it, if it's negative they also pile on. So it's a bit like saying, yeah sheep are really good at finding worthwhile and efficient routes through the mountains, when we know that sheep just follow the sheep in front and generally want to stay close to each other.

And, since the voting mechanism is just a number in a database that people think is just a signal but it's actually more like a political poll. It's not there to inform you, it's there to influence you. So of course various intelligence agencies and alpha bet soup had a keen interest in this. The benefit of the early internet was that it was individualised. You had to make up your own mind as to whether a forum post was good or not. Just imagine the motive of someone that says actually, we don't trust you to do that. Here's a number instead. Trust the number.

And of course once that is tied to commercial activity, retards going to sites with karma in the same way people used to go to forums (to read product reviews or get recommendations), of course there is a huge interest in gaming this, with upvote rings and fake accounts posing as ordinary people trying to seem objective, trust the number.

In short, the Jews brought "muh democracy" to the internet and it was shit. The Judaification of the internet.

we exist here for a coupe reasons
--- when we spread out closed down, little green frogs hop all over every other social media and its too wide a vector to police, this is our containment board
--- the left studies and tests election talking point arguments IE "which irrelevant emotional zinger seems to work best?"
--- the left FARMS outrage from here. Example, hey lets have a nigger hate thread! Everyone posts a nigger joke, then they copy and paste it for their next "online hate!" article. Because its anonymous, the lefty's doing this often answer their OWN nigger hate thread with their OWN ignorant shit to "report" on.

TL;DR --- remember the scene in Scarface movie? You need me, so you can point and say there, that's the bad guy.

It was bait. Archives and stylometry will get you. Still, this place is better than reddit because we discuss ideas on their merits.

Regardless of bots, Reddit is still the top 10 most visited website. It's a major powerhouse for the left. It's honestly amazing how no one has been able to make a successful competitor since there is an obvious hatred for Reddit among many, yet a desire for a universal forum of discussion.

I mean Kick managed to completely copy-paste Twitch and is growing fast. It's certainly not impossible.

You need women for numbers. And numbers do not convey value. It's how you have quirk chungus women descending into weird socially left positions.

>>543417275
This place is better because it unironically has a greater plurality of opinions than Reddit.
Reddit is leftist because its an enforced space.
4Chan is rightwing because it's a free-for-all
>>
>>543417284
There is no traffic anymore, since the interface update the site is completely unusable for humans so it's just bots spaming the same nonsense 24/7. Reddit used to show up for hyper niche infos, it still shows up but the info is always from 2018 or older.
>>
>>543417284
>europoor speak of the value of something
Explain how twitter turned into X, or are you a faggots that pretends it was always that?
>>
>>543416286
is it still possible to make your own? there was competition at one point each with their own style. digg, something awful, drudge report or wait I forget the names now but there were several.

with new tools it should be easy to aggregate and curate different things. reddit started out fake, but now reposters go back and post the same popular things once a year.

it should be accessible all in one place rather than the feed they have with endless scrolling. if you had a mind towards accessibility or archiving rather than addiction the outcome would look different.
youtube removing the dislike was gay as hell but if you started off without numbers, and that the votes just went into a secret behind the scenes tallying, people wouldn't know what the other sheep like or don't, but would still get presented with the best likes stuff.

idk. it just feels like they're deliberately making terrible choices and it would be possible for a hobbyist to try their own setup. but I haven't seen any of that at all. a billion people but only five websites. a thousand tools but no one dares use them. I'm surprised.
.I thought torrenting and p2p and btc would change things. I really expected decentralized tools

we have the same posts here over and over. I'm surprised there hasn't been a red pill primer site that distills down the best of the best in one place. So it does need to be rehashed poorly a thousand times over. so many links and pics and memes and it's all a mess.

Anyway, Reddit is probably the worst fucking website on the internet. Even Facebook allows for greater freedom of expression. It can't die soon enough. Reddit users are a bunch of retards controlled by the worst sociopaths online.
