Reddit is a narcissistic hell hole. Everyone obsessives over points,

I'm really tired of those sweeping generalizations. Reddit is a diverse and interesting place with diverse and interesting people, who alternate between being creative, funny, and showing less pleasant sides of themselves which are still part and parcel of being human.

I love a good spirited discussion, and I can always find one here. I have many opinions which go strongly against commonly held beliefs on Reddit, and there is no place on the Internet where stating my opposing views create more interesting discussions than here. Usually when I'm downvoted, it's because my argument was lazily formulated or thought out.

The concept of comment moderation to separate the interesting from the counterproductive is a necessary evil when you have a forum like this with millions of active users.

Although I think it's healthy to view the culture of any social setting in a critical light, the constant holier-than-thou repetition of the "hive mind" spiel is somewhat ironically one of the most uninspiring and irritating aspects of Reddit.
