it's just very simple, created just for the soul purpose of proposing ideas topics and organizing their discussions.

Bitcoin as a form of payment for products and services has grown,[29] and merchants have an incentive to accept it because fees are lower than the 2–3% typically imposed by credit card processors.[31] Unlike credit cards, any fees are paid by the purchaser, not the vendor. The European Banking Authority[32] and other sources[19]:11 have warned that bitcoin users are not protected by refund rights or chargebacks. Despite a large increase in the number of merchants accepting bitcoin, the cryptocurrency does not have much momentum in retail transactions.

I found out about reddit a couple months back. really love it their discussions and notices

[kingscrown]

reddit rocks!

[Dabangg]

You can learn a lot on Reddit. You might not have found an interesting sub-reddit yet. I used to think the site and it's members were annoying.

the interface is good, it allows for massive discussion. the site is also crowd-sourced, so you get a sense of involvement and belonging.

[lynn_402]

It's popular because being active on specific subreddits give the impression of belonging to a community, partly because of how the votes you make and the posts you make contribute directly to the liveliness of the subreddit.

I don't get your post.

The subreddit you linked is clearly satirical. It exists for entertainment purposes. Clearly you did not think that the posts that were made in that subreddit were serious?

It is obviously making fun of /r/fitness or other fitness-related subreddits. In fact the sticky even says so.

I think reddit has to be the worst of the 'popular' sites. The layout is very poor and its full of garbage, spam and links from fiverr seo gigs.

If I'm searching for anything and a reddit link comes up and don't bother clicking it.

Saying that, I despise all of the 'social' network sites including facebook and twitter.

Perhaps I'm just a miserable old fucker that thinks the world was a better place before the internet .

Speaking for myself, I love the occasional meme or 10000+ comment Askreddit megathread.

[Kluge]

I'm not at all a fan of the layout or GUI there, either. You have to click a thread title two or three times to get to the content you actually wanted, or there's some type of sorcery involved there to do it right and I just don't have the knack. Community voting seems to leave content on par with Youtube comments. ... Idunno, I guess I've just never really given it a fair shake.

Stack Overflow has a similar feeling of ugliness and lack of intuitiveness, but the content's been a life-saver too often to ignore.

[elliwilli]

Because its a social news agrigator.
I like it because i can tailor the news to what i want to see and leave out the crap i dont care about.

[rikfredsy]

With simple (Ugly) design reddit is very nice and popular site . did they give free btc at the beginning  ?

[Ninjahitoko]

It is so popular, because of the social interface it offers. The social interface is really good.

[El Emperador]

I think here in Europe it isn't as popular as in the U.S.A.
Anyway, I didn't like it very much and I'm quite agree with OP.

[paradoxum]

I would rather read a wall of text then try to figure out the if there's any intelligent conversation on their site - such a horrible layout.

[Bryansamba]

never open reddit

my internet provider blocked it

[hedgy73]

Its just shit full stop just wish I'd invented it...
