I have previously written a post about how Twitter is the rat poison of the internet, but now it is is fair to say that a new rat poison has been invented and thrust on the Internet. It is called Reddit. It is absolutely mind boggling how Reddit was able to get funded even after so many similar websites already there. For example Quora, witch is probably not a poison, just a harmful substance.
But Reddit has reached new levels of poison, at the same level as maybe potassium cyanide. Like Twitter, it has the potential to kill you instantly. There are posts on Reddit where past users have posts like - "How this forum ruined me."
Subredit, what the heck is that term anyway? But if we have learnt anything, it is that money and bro-entrepreneurship combination of Silicon Valley can get people high on previously unknown substances. Founders of these companies - the likes of Jack Dorsey Steve Huffman, are the later adherents of Steve Jobs, who being still grounded in a bit older generation, got people high on Iphones, which still provided some value and had probably taken substantial time and money to develop as it is not just software but also hardware.
But Twitter and Reddit are the rat poison at the level of the lethality of potassium cyanide.
