You could ignore #Reddit like most of us.

That's not a particularly good solution. A quick glance at the #reddit page shows a couple of posts I found quite interesting in the last month that I would have missed if I had exercised blunt force on the tag.

I am assuming the century club is people with 100000 comment karma (or maybe link karma, or both) on reddit. I genuinely don't understand people who use reddit for the subs like r/drama, r/karmaconspiracy, etc, and who think about karma every time they use reddit (or indeed, at all). I tend to typecast them into a group of people who care more about the internet than they do about learning from the internet, which may or may not be fair. I find this pathetic when I bother to think about it. From reading this, I don't think you're one of those people, but maybe you've got some insight on what the hell they get out of their time on reddit.

My personal take is that they like to watch the numbers spin and they don't realize it isn't a pachinko game, it's an odometer.

Some people play Farmville. Some people play Reddit. I just with their game didn't fuck with mine.

And there's some solidly sad imagery to top off my Friday afternoon. Reminds me of Burn after Reading in a depressive sort of way.
