Maybe reddit is exactly what the front page of the internet is. Want to see what the internet looks like outside of oases like Hubski? Reddit's a pretty good example -Pseudoscience, photos of conventionally attractive women in photos they may or may not have consented to, racism, complaints of censorship on what is effectively private property. Oh, and the occasional cat pic.

Forgive me if i seem jaded, but Reddit isn't "the problem". Reddit is just a very good example of a cultural problem, as well as what happens when

1.) opinion is as good as fact

2.) anonymity is paramount.
