Is there anyone over 40 on Reddit? It seems impenetrably alien to this guy.
Download the app if you want to try to follow. The web site experience is just...not good.

It’s a weird mix of articulate teenagers and old people. Your demographic is represented somewhere.

News
Gifs
Sports
Boobs
Politics
Funny things

It’s everything. And then for some reason you read what people are saying about the thing you just clicked.

This forum vaguely fills that desire; while improbable, there might be sub-humans worse than grunty and I don’t want to take that chance.

r/RocketLeague is 95% aerial gifs nobody cares about but the OP, 4% requests for new features, 1% useful information.

Well that’s the thing. You won’t see these comments. They are downvoted, which means you won’t see them unless you want to.

Reddit also doesn’t like Brandon Sutter, if you need an extra nudge.

The news subs are generally, and surprisingly, pretty good.

Also, I rarely post on reddit if that gives you some comfort.

It’s generally a lefty echo chamber but there are typically reasonable posters that will balance out the equation.

You still get the “it’s on the internet so it must be true” thing happen, though.

They best part of Reddit is the united hatred of buzzfeed.

I really enjoy opening up 2 or 3 threads on AskReddit and perusing them while I work. Some good/interesting/funny stories in there. Solid way to pass the time.

Yeah, there is at least one great AskReddit thread every two weeks with some outstanding reading within.

Reddit is great for info on specific video games or fandom things. If I want to go learn how to do something in a game, or see if others having the same bug or glitch, I go to that game’s specific subreddit. I rarely go to reddit.com, for my sanity’s sake.

That's why subscribing and crafting a front page is key. Take the time to do it, and you'll only see what you want to when you visit.

That's called 'siloing'. You're curating your own digital safe space.

What are you trying to avoid on the default r/all?

Aside from anything video game and pet related (and some stray subs like starterpacks and nosleep), I enjoy the variety and I like being surprised by interesting posts from unexpected subs.

Not much these days. I have a ton of subs for everything I like, so I only go to all when I'm bored.
