Once again, Reddit is a VASTLY superior message board service and you have zero reason not to be there primarily.

I agree that GameFAQs isn't exactly an utopia. But fuck, man, Reddit is such a steaming pile nowadays. It could be enjoyable in its earlier days, but it's really become a dumpster fire.

The site's setup makes it especially prone to bots, astroturfing and vote manipulation. The moderators and admins are a different breed in terms of narcissism and power-tripping. And the vast majority of users, especially on the default/popular subs, come across as dumber than dog shit and proud of it. (There's also a weird self-loathing streak alongside the anti-intellectualism.) All of these problems ramped up considerably as Reddit become more mainstream, mainly from 2016 onward.

The common counterargument is to tailor the site how you see fit and filter out the rubbish subs. This helps, but honestly, I feel like many of Reddit's worst characteristics have seeped into even the smaller subreddits. I still get use out of the "strictly functional" subreddits like /r/vinyldeals, but there's no way I'd participate in the actual communities at this point.

Not shitting on your opinion specifically - more power to ya - but those are my two cents on Reddit itself.
