A place to talk about whatever you want
This is a forum category containing topical discussion. You can start new discussions by mentioning this category.
^^ everyones missing the big draw to Reddit .. If you google anything, Reddit discussions on the topic come up top. Its like a sponsored link, same as Quora that comes up high (but most people dont like!)
Reddit autogenerates you an Id name, so when you click on that topic you are set up to respond. Ease of use!
@eeeee But, that’s also its biggest flaw as a discussion platform. It has now become a place to find answers to questions (almost like an extension of Google search) or a pseudo-news feed for sharing one's latest purchases and real-life/online experiences (much like people used to do on Twitter). It is woefully inadequate for detailed, long-running discussions, as posts rarely receive engagement beyond a day or two. Plus, Reddit’s discovery algorithm does not encourage discussion. It seems to emphasize likes over replies or the longevity of posts.
@razibal I think that is always going to happen when your algorithm prioritizes engagement of single posts over the health of a larger conversation.
