For example, people on Reddit asking redundant questions and give equally redundant or unhelpful answers.

Whenever every ‘What’s the worst show you’ve seen?’ is asked, you’ll get 10,000 “Kardashians” answers, which is just easy karma farming.

If someone posts in a community that’s geared for something like opinions, but someone elects to just go on a full scale rant instead.

    Jesus, yes. I can’t tell you how many subreddits got swamped with high-school leveled questions about sex.

    Especially in TooAfraidToAsk, which is supposed to be about questions that’d normally be about trying to ask taboo things to get a discussion. But no, you’ll come across questions like “if there is no porn to look at, what do you look at instead while jerking off in the shower?”. Like, besides trolls, who the hell comes up with some questions like that? Let’s not forget the abundance of people, showcasing the lack of sexual education, asking if they’d get HPV by doing this or HIV by doing that.

      Reddit seems like it is largely made up of two main demographics. It’s either people in their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s who were there since the site’s launch (me) or teenagers to early/mid 20’s. The latter has a big reach on the site right now.

        So you’re basically saying reddit is mainly being used by people from 20 to 60 years. What a surprise ;)
