Title: What's with reddit?
Post by: mountainlion on February 14, 2014, 11:46:14 PM
Any post with almost anything beneficial, truly beneficial to bitcoin gets downvoted to oblivion almost instantly I notice. (At least in the past few days)

I made this post:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1xxv40/join_me_in_turning_around_the_bitcoin_vibe_please/

And I believe it will be shilled to oblivion. So I'm turning to you guys to help. Not asking for donations, just read and upvote if it vibes with you :)

Even the intelligent, somewhat technically inclined explanations put out to squash FUD gets downvoted. Sad state of affairs. Reddits pushing porn and any mom and pop shop that accepts bitcoin for oil changes or whatever random service you can think of. In reality this is nothing new, anyone can accept bitcoin through coinbase. I'm beginning to believe that the shit I see at the top of reddit.com/r/bitcoin is what is chosen to be fed to me. Some heavy bot action in play. Actually, now that I've said it out loud, I see the potential for money in doing so. Is it time for a new avenue to express our love for btc?

Much thanks.

Did you read the story? Am I crazy for just loving the coincidence revolving around it?

That's redditors for you. I usually stay away from there unless I have to.

Really.. a conspiracy theory... huh... I think I will pay more attention. I just assumed that r/bitcoin suffers from being on reddit. Every popular sub eventually turns to that. It's something to do with the downvoting. Like American Idol or whatever. Crowd-sourcing content.

Reddit's problem is that the downvotes outnumber the upvotes ten to one. I just assumed r/bitcoin suffered the same fate, it's why I browse r/bitcoin/new.

Dogecoin is silly :)

Reddit is usable. And helped me so many times

Try next time using imagur just to post pictures and the rest of the text post on reddit. Maybe you'll have more luck that way. Also I think most people didn't even see it, since those first upvotes or downvotes decided on that.

I like reddit mostly for jobs4bitcoin :) and I dont have to search 1020192 pages because there is no so much to read :P

:)

Anyway perhaps you are right if he look in general. But I think for me reddit is more like some parts joined togerther and not all of them are good and some of them are brilliant ;)
