Reddit

Over the years Reddit has been my go to. Bored? Click on reddit. Read about politics and obscure identity stuff. Look at the same goddamn memes over and over again.

All my views for the past 5 years have been influenced in someway by spending several hours everyday there. But now I've gotten older. I can't seem to find the same joy in reading threads when they all seem the same. Different topics each time but the views/opinions/comments all follow the same structure. I can't quite explain it but no matter where I go on reddit it just blurs together.

I used to learn new and novel things on reddit. Now I can practically recognize every TIL on the site with the only things standing out being political controversy. It's just BORING. To put it simply. I am no longer interested by reddit.

I've now cut down going to it and recently I blocked the site entirely. I've read books, spent time on various chans (which manage to be somewhat interesting if not edgy).

I guess I can say my life is imporving. I'd like to quit the internet altogether for casual browsing. It adds nothing to my life at this point. My views are set. I don't give two shits on changing my opinions on stupid political shit when my opinion is worth jackshit.

Eh.

Also worth saying that I don't really know where to go on the internet. With no central hub I can't really piece things together anymore, and I don't really know what to feel about that.

...

Sometimes I unconsciously type reddit.com into the searchbar and get surprised when it gets rejected by my web blocker.

So what exactly do you expect to gain from posting this thread?

looks like a blog post complainig about reddit

So it took you five years to figure out that reddit is full of lemmings and cunts, congrats. At least you realized it at all.

As for finding a hub, that too is a pleb instinct. Lurk more, find the other chans, figure it out.

I found most of reddit's content to be insightful and interesting at one point in time. Now it isn't. My problem is it's all the same hive mind to me.

Chans don't really fill the void that reddit left. Now I don't know where to go. It feels like people here put so much effort into being edgy that they forget about quality content.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
get the fuck out.

Okay but for real, why shouldn't I expect quality content on the sites I visit. I go to Holla Forums (cause fuck 4chan and it's horrid userbase) but just get bombarded by porn.

The only boards I find tolerable are drug boards on 420chan.

default subs are all overrun with retards.

the point of reddit isn't a general 'quality content' like if you're looking for high quality randomness, it's when it gets specifics interests right.

the only way to really reddit is if there's a topic you're interested in, and it has a subreddit with a good but not too large population, and there aren't too many retards, you'll have a good time.

everything else is shit. the culture that evolved in the default and high population subs are garbage, there's no worthwhile discussion, just self aggrandizing nonsense.

if you think the posts on r/funny are good, if you think the things on r/mildlyinteresting are worth the brainpower to look and think about, if you think the Q&A on r/askreddit are insightful questions and answers…. you're a fucking idiot.

I didn't say that. This is not the place to look for it though.

Tbh, just find a few good youtube channels and someone like you will be happy.
fuck you mods, bring back youtube embedding

Because you don't visit quality sites.
Look at what you have listed. Those are not quality sites. They are *popular* sites. Big difference! Here is an example: a TV show, Jersey Shore, was one of the most poular shows on TV a few years back. 8 million people watched its season finale. Very popular! But nobody ever once claimed that it was a quality television show, even within its genre. Do you see the difference?

Here is what has happened, OP. You have grown up, and consequently you value quality more than you used to. But you are still going to the same sites which are populated by people who do not yet place the same value on quality that you do. Those sites are not going to change. You need to change. When you want quality web-content, you need to visit quality websites. Places like this are good for a diversion, but you will never find quality at them. Not anymore.

so?

Pffft….Youtube is too shitty even for 8ch. It is as bad as reddshit and Facebook, and needed to be axed from here.

I go to a subreddit for a specific band or hobby and it's not interesting anymore. It's just pointless discussions and the same shit over and over again.

Forgot the pic…

You have to go back faggot.

Channels I used to enjoy are shit now. Example: Vox.

Used to be good stuff until they decided to turn into the "complain about trump" channel. And now all the other youtubers I enjoy are becoming restricted and are getting they're ads cut so they don't make the same content.

Watch the video I posted. AvE's got some real good stuff on his channel. Very knowledgeable guy who does some really cool shit. Despite the mass of bad jokes he makes I would give it an 8/10.

You just gotta find the right shit.

Would you have sex with a nigger for 1 million dollars?

I know I know, probably needs its own thread.

go to /soc/

The Youtube channels to follow are those who do them as a side project. When you're relying on content creation as a means to make income, you have to cow-tow or go home; which has a negative effect on the content.

endchan might interest you, although it's a very small community, there's rich content, dig deeper.
