Top 10 Worst Things About Reddit

1. Hateful users

   

   If someone's post or comment is unpopular with the majority of people within a subreddit, it gets downvoted and nearly hidden from view.

   This only creates an echo chamber of sorts in which the most extreme voices being rude towards the user get pushed up, while any calm or reassuring thought gets completely buried. It has successfully trained people to only want to hear what they agree with and mock anyone who has just the slightest difference from the norm.

   Every time you post something even slightly controversial, you get a flood of hateful comments that berate and insult the person who made the original post or comment.

2. Offensive content

   Even in subreddits that are supposed to be family-friendly, you still get inappropriate posts, often related to sexual content.

3. Foul mouths

   I hate when people explode into foul-mouthed rants in their posts or comments. It's disturbing to see all those spelled-out bad words. That's why I use a bad word filter.

4. Abusive subreddit mods

   They delete your posts and comments for no good reason, but when people actually post harmful content, it stays up.

5. Subreddit names with bad words in them

   

   It's completely unnecessary and shouldn't be allowed. I would never post or even view anything from such subs because if they put bad words in the title, I can't imagine what kind of content they allow.

6. Content deletion for no reason

   Sometimes mods and bots delete my posts for no apparent reason.

7. Downvoting of posts and comments even though there is nothing wrong with them

   Can't post or comment anything without people downvoting it.

8. The upvote/downvote system

   I'm not a fan of this either. I liked how, on Yahoo Answers, it would show you both the number of thumbs up and thumbs down that you received for an answer.

   They set it up so every downvote cancels out an upvote, meaning if you have more downvotes than upvotes, it shows a negative score on your content. If you get enough downvotes, you end up with a negative score overall.

9. Inability to delete comments from your own posts

   Someone can post something hateful on a post you made, and you are powerless against it. Why should I have to deal with a hateful comment I don't want on my post? It's my post. I should be able to delete unwanted comments. Most other media sites allow that.

10. Moderator bots commenting the same thing on every post in a subreddit

    It's a message bot that comments the same thing on every post, usually a disclaimer. The message is never helpful to the post itself. I don't care about disclaimers. I only care about getting my question answered.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    You can't edit post titles

    If you make a mistake in the title and only notice after you make the post, you can't edit it and are forced to deal with the mistake forever.

12. ?

    Blocking a user doesn't delete their comments from your posts

    It instead hides the comment under a Blocked User notice, but you can still view the comment, and it is still very much on the post for everyone else to read.

The Contenders

13. People claiming their content was meant as a joke when it becomes controversial

    I hate it when people hide behind the "it was a joke" response after getting controversy for their statements, even though there is nothing in their statement that could possibly be considered a joke.

14. Everyone taking another user's side even if they are wrong

    I hate it when I get into an argument with someone and everyone else takes their side over mine, even if they are the ones in the wrong.

15. Insensitivity to your feelings

    It seems like every time you make a post expressing feelings toward something, people will always treat you like a whiny loser.

16. Subreddits related to drugs, smoking, and other unhealthy or illegal acts

    

    This shouldn't need an explanation for why it's bad.

17. People ignoring your posts that ask an important question

    When I make a post that asks a question about something, I expect people to answer. However, half the time my post gets no responses, and I'm still left with an unanswered question.

18. Archived posts

    You can't comment, vote, like/dislike, or do anything on archived posts. What if I had something to add to the discussion but can't now because someone decided to archive it?

19. Cyberbullying

    

    Particularly snark subreddits dedicated to trash-talking celebrities.

    They find the most minuscule things to bash said celebrity, and it comes off as creepy and toxic.

20. Dictator apologia

    

21. Basement dwellers

    

    Every Reddit user is a basement dweller in one way or another, and the same goes for 4chan and 8chan too.

22. Unfair rules

    Mods can basically do whatever they want on some subreddits, but the moment a normal user does something even slightly against the rules, they get banned.

23. Sigma grindset

24. Misinformation

    

25. Mass shooter apologia

    

26. Doxxing

    

27. Unemployed users
