    I’ve always referred to Reddit and other forum type sites as “anti-social media”.

    Nobody’s here to gain clout. Nobody’s here to get more followers. Nobody’s here to try and be famous.

    We’re here because it’s anonymous (if you want it to be), and because it’s fundamentally different from mainstream social networking sites.

      Add in that you can just check how the algorithm that sorts your posts works. Social media like Facebook have always felt like 100% ads with how content is sorted. If not for anotherproduct, an ad for Facebook itself.
