reality of reddit
Reddit is a shithole filled with toxicity and worthlessness, where you can join an echo chamber and validate your unhealthy feelings and stay fucked up instead of working on yourself and developing, its called self growth or somthing. The app was built to write long posts and discuss certain things, and people would write long comments, and you would read it, that’s why it’s called Reddit.
In the west, this was considered nerdy and geeky and wasn’t cool, but in India, since reading English is considered high class, people reading and writing these comments thought of themselves as some superior beings. Also, often the higher upper class consumes this much English-quoted content on a day-to-day basis, which was on here, and hence the audience here is kothibangla wali. That’s why you found so much relationship stuff here too because when a person’s basic needs are set, there is more space in life to consider relationships and all that since the economic background is good. For middle-class people, this luxury isn’t there.
After this app got mainstreamed for some reason, normal humor slid its way in, and all of a sudden, this English-consuming audience was in the minority. So they had to accept the shit humor, which is just unvirtuous, where you joke about people’s lives and unke saath ghatit hui kharab cheeje, like your own life is any better. And gaaliyan IDK, gaaliyan sunke kyun hasi aati hai logo ko? Welp. who am i to be pretentious. i do galigaloch the most lol
So here’s what you need to do post something which shows how degrading your life is. Like, post a photo of a Maggi pack and title it as “This is what I can eat for the weekend.” People who weren’t having any better of a weekend will suddenly see that there’s someone worse off than them, and their inner concern, inner insecurity, will be secured. It’s a nice trick. If you post something opposite, like having a dinner at a 5-star restaurant, their insecurity will be triggered. But since it’s an anonymous platform, and everyone wants their self-image to be better, they can’t directly hate on you like cursing you or calling you k-word yourself. Instead, they will “say something offensive but add humor to it.” Every offensive humor is halftruth anyway, so there you go.
Never post about your progress since this is a place for the stuck in life to cope and validate their shit feelings instead of progressing out of it. It’s like being high on weed, watching your life pass by.
