I like never post on there but I lose braincells reading comments or posts on just normal subreddits.

If I were to rank IQ of the users

Facebook lowest
Reddit 2nd lowest
TikTok 3rd lowest
Instagram 4th lowest
Twitter/X 5th lowest
YouTube 6th lowest

Despite their bad rap I would argue places like Gamefaqs and Discord have higher IQ posts and users and not counting obvious trolling ones of course.

it depends on the subreddit you visit really, since the topic of the subreddit will draw in those who'd bother staying on.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Go on any niche comfy tutorial type channel, vlog etc. and its like 300 kind positive comments offering help and shit.

Reddit would have 300 comments of people commenting how they did it wrong and it ruined their day.

Tiktok would say the same thing but in Gen Z talk.

the default and most popular subs are way older, i swear the average age on most subreddits is like 39

smaller/shitpost subs are much younger. they're also the only subs that aren't cringe as fuck

The Internet itself is just full of angry opinionated people. Any place where you can post comments, gamefaqs is no exception. This place has tons of angry users that hate everything, even including themselves. Its entertaining at times.

I think it has a lot of users that were either bullies or bullied and they all joined the site like it's their clubhouse and try to outdo each other like its a popularity contest or something based on comments and opinions. It feels like highschool 2.0 but for 40 year olds.

Isnt facebook facebook for gen x and millenials(or gen y as you call it). I always took reddit as facebook for zoomers. I doubt many boomers are on facebook. Or facebook for bullied ppl who never understood why they were bullied ie naruto runners in gym class getting bullied for "liking anime".

But yes. Too many angry ppl there. So quick to just attack you instead of have a discussion. Happens a lot on this board as well. This board is gamefaqs reddit. Had to delete reddit cuz id always just start firing back at ppl the way they fire at me. But then im the bigger asshole(not bragging at all fyi) and end up getting my accounts banned.

I'm conflicted here, because on the one hand, reddit is shit, but on the other, the communities on all those other sites seem even worse to me. Except maybe instagram, but only because I have never actually used instagram.
