Reddit, a bustling social hub with millions of users, boasts a vibrant tapestry of communities and topics, catering to every niche imaginable. (Highlights the diversity and vastness of Reddit)
A user asked the forum, “What is something that Reddit thinks is more popular than it actually is?”. Here are some responses he got!
PEOPLE WHO MAKE $200K A Year
“People who make over $400k a year.”
TIKTOK TRENDS
“TikTok trends. Most “crazy TikTok trends” amount to a tiny amount of people doing something stupid, but the media pumps it up for engagement, and Reddit falls for it hook, line, and sinker.”
CODING
“Honestly, judging from the comments, it seems 85% of Redditors are juvenile coders with zero life experience other than Netflix.”
PROFESSIONAL INFLUENCERS
“Professional Influencers – the people causing problems are just jerks.”
BOYCOTTING BIG CORPORATIONS
“Boycotting big corporations. People generally don’t care about what goes on behind the scenes much. They might hate greedy CEOs but not enough to boycott.”
COFFEE SNOBBERY
“The first time I went to r/coffee, I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by tons of coffee snob jokes and ironic posts about how you aren’t a real coffee drinker unless you’re down on your knees eating the beans right off the plant.”
“Redditors often make the mistake of believing that Reddit is representative of how the general population thinks: an assumption which implies that most people are on Reddit.”
DIVORCE
“Reddit’s go-to solution to any sort of conflict within a marriage.”
THIRD-PARTY APPS
“An average user’s outrage regarding 3rd party apps.”
GASLIGHTING
“Gaslighting. But I believe that’s because so many people here don’t know what it is.”
AVATARS
“Avatars. I can’t believe they charge money for anything related to them.”
KARDASHIANS
“The Kardashians. The only place I hear about them is on Reddit.”
LIVING IN URBAN APARTMENTS
“Living in urban apartments. Not driving. Hating lawns and suburbs. Not wanting children.”
PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA
“Idk where the hate came from, but I always see it. Hawaiian pizza was invented in the 1960’s. I remember eating Hawaiian pizza as a millennial in the 1990’s.
No one had a problem with it. But all of a sudden, it’s popular to hate it now? Where was this energy like 50 years ago?”
GADGET SPECS
“Geeking out on gadget specs.”
NOSE RINGS ON SELFIES
“Nose rings on selfies. I rarely see them where I live, but they are always on Reddit.”
