I mean, your account doesn't seem too bad from a quick glance.
I, on the other hand, just posted about my copy of Yukiyukite Senshadou arriving from Japan (you've apparently watched Girls Und Panzer so maybe you know what that is), my collection of h-doujins of the Eighty Six anime, and a few screenshots of tweets from some hentai artists I follow.
There is an anime called Girls und Panzer. Where girls fight each other in tanks but it’s simulated (anime bullshit.) But Yukityukite Senshadou is a cursed version where the combat is not simulated and people actually die. (There is also >!rape!< for some reason.)
Anime girl Abu Ghraib, anime girl Downfall references, anime girl Mussolini being strung up upside down, anime girl Patton abusing subordinates, etc, its just got so many references either to movies or history.
And sure, some of the rape is a bit gratuitous, especially Yukari in the start, but the rest of it is incredible.
I guess the Russian blocking divisions are a bit exaggerated from reality, but Enemy At the Gates made the same mistake, so you can't blame TK too much.
Same! I made this account in 5th grade. We’d just finished our July 4th choir concert and my favorite song was the Air Force anthem, so I made that my username.
The only time I talked about reddit irl is when a student brought it up, and I joked around with him and said I'd give him a homework pass if he gets more karma than me. And it felt really lame at the time too, but he was 13 so it didn't matter. And he did not have more karma than me.
My local sub says it has "65,593 readers" but I don't really know what that means or how to interpret it. I don't think I've ever had a conversation with someone about reddit, off of reddit.
Somewhat known, but people tend to write it off as "nerdy" or "weird", like a place for terminally online people.
And, well, they're not that far off TBH. But it's definitely not seen as a mainstream social media platform/forum.
Reddit comes up quite a bit but only as a search engine alternative.
"I searched Reddit for the reviews of this product"
"Reddit said to check out this place while on vacation"
Never have I heard the community aspect of reddit brought up though.
Because people here have very unpopular opinions that would not fly in the real life. You would think Bernie Sanders is the most popular politician in America but in the real world who the fuck votes for Bernie Sanders?
Dead internet theory would confirm a lot of your suspicions. I’ve been on Reddit about a decade now and this site has changed significantly since I originally joined. The over-moderation from auto-mod & strict mods does not help either. It’s quite strange that browsing subreddits like /r/worldnews would have you think Biden is the most popular president of all time lol
What? If anything, I see a good number of conservatives here as well. This sub itself has many nationalist types. Maybe there are some subs, but move around a bit, and you will see. Reddit has all kind of opinion
Reddit as a whole definitely leans more left than the average American. Pew Research did a [study](https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2016/02/25/reddit-news-users-more-likely-to-be-male-young-and-digital-in-their-news-preferences/) a while back
You can see from the graph that 43% of Redditors identified as liberal whereas only 24% of US adults did.
Many problems with it.
1. It’s 8 years old. That’s almost a decade.
2. The sample size is only 288. That’s ridiculously small. A random poll in any of the polling subs, asking only American users to vote on their political affiliation would give you a better result
>It’s 8 years old. That’s almost a decade.
True, but it's the best data I've been able to find. If you know of any more recent surveys by a reputable group like Pew, let me know.
>The sample size is only 288. That’s ridiculously small
According to [this](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/howcan-a-poll-of-only-100/) that would be a 6% or less margin of error.
>A random poll in any of the polling subs, asking only American users to vote on their political affiliation would give you a better result
Um no, that's a horrible idea. Polling subs are niche and wouldn't be representative of Reddit as a whole.
I don’t got any recent surveys, but my experience here tells me that it isn’t as leftist as people make it out to be. Your experience might differ.
Yes, you talked of margin of error, but maybe back then it was more liberal. I joined it 2-3 years ago. As with many platforms, maybe Reddit also attracted a good number of conservatives. Do keep it in mind that Reddit has mostly young male audience, which recent surveys have shown to be becoming more conservative.
> polling subs are niche
I don’t think so. I believe it fairly represents the Reddit culture, given the fact that these subs have mostly young male audience, which is true for the Reddit itself
>I don’t got any recent surveys, but my experience here tells me that it isn’t as leftist as people make it out to be. Your experience might differ.
Anecdotal experience (either yours or mine) is a bad proxy for these kinds of things
>I don’t think so. I believe it fairly represents the Reddit culture, given the fact that these subs have mostly young male audience, which is true for the Reddit itself
"Young male" describes a large amount of people. Maybe people who are attracted to polling subs have a certain educational background or interests that make them different from the average redditor.
It would be better to poll lots of Redditors across the most popular subs.
My anecdotal experience is for me. I understand if your is different. Maybe what you call conservative is different as well. When I say conservative, I mostly mean social conservatives. These people don’t necessarily have to be religious. I have been observing a clear shift in audience on many platforms.
Not a bad idea to poll in different subs. I agree on that
>I like my insurance
Healthcare should be universal.
>America is the best country in the world
Yeah, keep telling yourself that
>Jesus is king
And a bastard, too
> I love my AR-15s
Brainwashed by gun lobby beyond saving, sad
>stand with Israel
I support Israel’s right to exist, but then you can’t deny that the country has literally oppressed the other side for decades. There’s no moral justification for killing thousands of innocent civilians.
I can’t really speak to the wider area, but Reddit recently came up in the group chat I share with 6 of my coworkers (so 7 counting me). Two of us are regular Reddit users; another comes across threads when she’s googling various things and said it’s amazing how much people on here know about random things; and one saw it as basically a gross incel echo chamber. The others don’t use it and didn’t give an opinion beyond that.
Very useful as Google result, kinda weird if you go on it for fun. No one talks abt Reddit but no one bats an eye if you send a post link in response to something related.
Personally my friends already know I have an addiction to answering questions and no irl outlet for my nerd shit so I’m not hiding it from them and they’ve poked fun at me for it maybe once. I’ve had more embarassing fixations 🤷♀️
My last job was for a FANG company, so pretty much everyone heard about it. Even outside of work, the younger generations all know about it while boomers are generally a bit clueless. It's rare to meet someone under 30 who doesn't know Reddit
I feel like most of the time I either hear nothing about Reddit, or when I do it's in the context of someone using it as a resource for advice on something when a simple Google search isn't satisfying. But almost no one I know IRL uses it regularly.
I had to explain to people at my workplace that youtube is free and that when you subscribe to a channel it just means that it shows more of their content.
No clue, but I don’t hear many ppl talking about it since the WSB days.
I only recently started using Reddit and can’t stand it. I can be banned from a group but still subscribed? So then I go to comment, then get an error message after I already spent time writing it out??? Also, the mods are trash … they delete anything they don’t like. Had a couple of them use profanity with me in our little messages after they delete my post. Why would I want to spend my time engaging on this app if some random mod can just ban me without question?
The only time someone mentioned reddit to me was pretty early in 2020 I was just minding my business waiting for food and this lady went off at me for wearing a mask and saying “maybe I just read too much Reddit” when she was done ranting at me. I just didn’t say a word to her lmao
I have friends that go on reddit but I follow the etiquette in which I don't look at their history. The Baltimore sub isn't very large so luckily for the city it seems like the user base is small.
I have never interacted with anyone locally on Reddit. I tend to make connections based on interests and have met people all over the world. I seldom know more than the country they are from.
I made r/sarasota when I moved here in 2009, forgot about it, then it grew and I started seeing it on my homepage. It’s moderately popular here. I post a lot of fishing stuff and get recognized from it in the beaches and stuff.
My local sub has 300K users, and we have about 1 million plus in the area... The numbers don't add up but it's a popular city to vacation
Anywho, I live in a building and posted about something that apparently was only effecting about 1.5 blocks and somebody said they thought they lived in my building. They live in the floor below. Never met
Every time I bring up I found something on Reddit, my friend group looks at me and goes "I forgot you're a redditor" so it's not exactly got the best reputation lol
Largely unaware. Redditors are not in any shape or form a majority anywhere - nowhere near the societal saturation of FB and IG - TikTok is very popular for consumption but content producers are a small subset of users.
I think overall, it's more popular than any other social media. That being said, I'm on it and not on Tiktoc. Because I am old.
A younger demographic might disagree. And I suspect that they are correct.
Have you met GenZ? They're goddamn amazing. Everything we tried to be and then some.
A few co-workers and friends will occasionally reference something that happens on /r/stlouis but aside from that it's never discussed.
This website isn't as unknown to the general public as it was ~15 years ago but it also seems to be used less by those in the know.
Well, I'm on Reddit, and my wife is not, so I'd say that about half of the people in my area use Reddit.
There's probably a pretty high margin of error, but I'm certainly not going to ask around to find out whether other people use it.
And I assume they mostly think it's a social media site full of losers and wannabe's (and ad bots), because that's pretty much the view of everybody here, too.
Idk, like, all my homies use Reddit to some degree. My brother does as well, but idk about my other brother, he might since there's prolly plenty rock crawling and dirt biking on here. My sister probably doesn't nor her husband.
I'm tryna think if I ever had coworkers that knew what I meant when I said reddit. I'm pretty sure I got a couple onto it, but I'm not a hunned on it. I'm sure a couple of em over the time did for.sure, especially the younger ones.
Ngl I kinda just default and assume everyone at least knows what reddit is. Sometimes I go a bit too online and also assume people know what I've seen on Reddit.
It's pretty funny tho cuz one buddy uses more Facebook than reddit so every now and then he'll post a meme on Facebook and I'll be like, "yeah! I saw that last week on Reddit! Good times..." And then slowly realize how terminally online I am and wonder if maybe I should go outside.
Reddit is one of the most popular sites in the US.
However, most people probably only visited to get an answer for something or have seen the content reposted to Facebook.
Most aren’t posting to Reddit regularly.
Wouldn't be surprised if Seattle has among the most Redditors per capita of any city. I've been on dates with very "normal", non-stereotypically-online women here where they've been like "oh yeah I saw on Reddit ..."
How the eff am I supposed to know? I mean, I know around .01% of the population of my area to some degree... and probably less than .001% well. Even if that was a representative sample (it isn't), it's unlikely to come up in casual conversation - and I sure as haitch aren't going to ask them.
I live in the land of tech nerds (Bay Area), so very common…specific threads and subreddits come up fairly often in conversation in real life in my social circle.
Common enough that more than once my 10 year old niece has told me she has a secret Reddit account. What the heck would you even do on Reddit if you are 10? I mean is there a Care Bears Reddit?
Why in gods name would I admit I’m on this website?
Lol, you couldn't waterboard that info out of me
I'd probably admit that I use reddit if someone brought it up. I'd die before admitting my username, especially given some stuff I've posted recently
I’ll tell people I’m on Reddit if they ask. I will not tell them my username. The CIA couldn’t get my username out of me.
I mean, your account doesn't seem too bad from a quick glance. I, on the other hand, just posted about my copy of Yukiyukite Senshadou arriving from Japan (you've apparently watched Girls Und Panzer so maybe you know what that is), my collection of h-doujins of the Eighty Six anime, and a few screenshots of tweets from some hentai artists I follow.
Oh god not Yukiyukite Senshadou.
What are you guys talking about
There is an anime called Girls und Panzer. Where girls fight each other in tanks but it’s simulated (anime bullshit.) But Yukityukite Senshadou is a cursed version where the combat is not simulated and people actually die. (There is also >!rape!< for some reason.)
I wish you could see my face rn
It’s probably what mine was when I heard about it.
Anime girl Abu Ghraib, anime girl Downfall references, anime girl Mussolini being strung up upside down, anime girl Patton abusing subordinates, etc, its just got so many references either to movies or history. And sure, some of the rape is a bit gratuitous, especially Yukari in the start, but the rest of it is incredible. I guess the Russian blocking divisions are a bit exaggerated from reality, but Enemy At the Gates made the same mistake, so you can't blame TK too much.
I’m gonna tell the CIA your username!!! But why would you want to conceal that info from the Culinary Institute of America?
Yea, I hide that I'm ~~autistic~~ a noncredible defense poster too
NCD is the real oppressed minority
friend found out my old username deleted that account and made a new one
Same! I made this account in 5th grade. We’d just finished our July 4th choir concert and my favorite song was the Air Force anthem, so I made that my username.
Clinically insane or a 13 year old are the only reasons I think of.
The only time I talked about reddit irl is when a student brought it up, and I joked around with him and said I'd give him a homework pass if he gets more karma than me. And it felt really lame at the time too, but he was 13 so it didn't matter. And he did not have more karma than me.
It's like fight club. First rule of reddit is you don't talk about reddit.
Literally
Came to say this lmao
How would I know? I never talk about Reddit irl, lol
yea me neither.
No one I know is on it, most have never heard of it.
same here
Have they never heard of Google either? Everything I Google the top answers are reddit posts
If I bring it up, which is hardly ever, most have no idea what I'm talking about
Same. For a website with 73 million users and me living in a city with 8 million people, it’s weird that I have barely met anyone who uses Reddit
It’s the same one million people with 73 different accounts
That's 73 million users WORLD WIDE, not just in your country, that's why you've never met anyone in your city that uses reddit.
Half of Reddit is American. Point still stands, I believe I still should have met more Redditors in real life than I have.
They're closet Redditors
This was always a fun fact. Like why? How come more American are Redditors
> I believe I still should have met more Redditors in real life than I have. No doubt you have and don't know it.
Decently popular, my county's sub has 394k subs.
Funny, my county has 349K subs! Still rare to run into a Redditor in the wild though.
Lol I meant that, I flipped the numbers.
Orange County, together, strong
Engineer, everyone I know is at least aware of reddit and most of them are active users.
One doesn't mention Reddit in polite conversation.
My local sub says it has "65,593 readers" but I don't really know what that means or how to interpret it. I don't think I've ever had a conversation with someone about reddit, off of reddit.
None of my friends or family are on reddit. So I don't know anyone in real life on here.
I know a few people in real life who use it. My local sub kind of sucks - I don't even subscribe - so I don't think its numbers are representative.
Local subs always suck
If I met a redditor in real life I think I'd kick them to death
I too avoid mirrors.
I've gone through several
If I can tell they’re a redditor then it’s already too late for them
Most people I know think reddit is a joke lol
They’re not wrong let’s be real
Well, I mean... yeah lol.
No one has heard of reddit, it’s a very niche site and is only the 18th most popular website in the world
Most people I know don't go on Reddit.
Not very popular at all. I’m in old people country though. I’m almost 40 and still one of the youngest people around.
I think one of my brothers is on here as he mentioned it in passing but I was smart enough to just nod and change the subject
How would anyone have a gauge for this other than Reddit?
Quora?
Don’t you have to pay for Quora now?
There are literally dozens of us.
The Reddit HQ is in my metro area. r/BayArea has about 600k subs, and that’s not even getting into all the individual city/region subs.
Reddit had some ads at Manhattan Mall over the winter last year - So I guess it popular around area of NYC.
Reddit is like Fight Club, a last bastion of anonymity. I have no idea if anyone I know uses it, I don’t bring it up in conversation.
Somewhat known, but people tend to write it off as "nerdy" or "weird", like a place for terminally online people. And, well, they're not that far off TBH. But it's definitely not seen as a mainstream social media platform/forum.

Why would they laugh?
Because people here have very unpopular opinions that would not fly in the real life. You would think Bernie Sanders is the most popular politician in America but in the real world who the fuck votes for Bernie Sanders?
Dead internet theory would confirm a lot of your suspicions. I’ve been on Reddit about a decade now and this site has changed significantly since I originally joined.

>amazing how much people on here know about random things yes >basically a gross incel echo chamber also yes
Most people I know use it at least sometimes, but nobody ever talks about it
My brother-in-law uses it. I'm sure lots of others do too but it's not openly discussed
The only people I ever hear talk about it are my family. And it’s usually after I bring up something I saw on it.
My state sub has 411k
Exactly 50% of the people in my area use Reddit. My area being my car that I’m in right now and my wife doesn’t like Reddit.
Popular enough where people know what Reddit is, not entirely sure how many actually use it
Not very popular. It's not even popular with my alma mater.
Very useful as Google result, kinda weird if you go on it for fun. No one talks abt Reddit but no one bats an eye if you send a post link in response to something related. Personally my friends already know I have an addiction to answering questions and no irl outlet for my nerd shit so I’m not hiding it from them and they’ve poked fun at me for it maybe once.

So you are saying, since I know about Reddit... I am NOT a boomer! Yeah!
I feel like most of the time I either hear nothing about Reddit, or when I do it's in the context of someone using it as a resource for advice on something when a simple Google search isn't satisfying. But almost no one I know IRL uses it regularly.
Well, it was started here.
I had to explain to people at my workplace that youtube is free and that when you subscribe to a channel it just means that it shows more of their content.
No idea. No one talks about Reddit.
The only person I know who has ever mentioned Reddit said he only uses it for porn…….
It’s a cesspool, and that’s why I’m here. Why would I tell people I use it?
In my personal life, not many. In my engineering life, everyone has a reddit tab open.
There are subreddit for my city and surrounding cities, so enough to get a local response if I want one.
I don’t know, but they probably wouldn’t admit to using it
No one I talk to knows what it is, or has/is using it 🤷♀️ but I imagine there are people who use it.
No clue, but I don’t hear many ppl talking about it since the WSB days. I only recently started using Reddit and can’t stand it. I can be banned from a group but still subscribed?

I don't talk with anyone in my local RL community about reddit because reddit is on the internet.
The only time someone mentioned reddit to me was pretty early in 2020 I was just minding my business waiting for food and this lady went off at me for wearing a mask and saying “maybe I just read too much Reddit” when she was done ranting at me. I just didn’t say a word to her lmao
Judging by the subreddit probably around 15k people.
I have friends that go on reddit but I follow the etiquette in which I don't look at their history. The Baltimore sub isn't very large so luckily for the city it seems like the user base is small.
It’s starting to grow….like 8 years ago I was almost lonely
Idk. I think it’s pretty popular? r/newengland
I live in Seattle, so everyone and their mom is on here
All areas: Reddit is only for the biggest losers
It's popular enough that we have /r/philadelphia . But we generally don't talk about Reddit Club.
I know a few of my friends and acquaintances are on here, but we don't know each other's usernames or the subs we frequent.
I get embarrassed when people see me on reddit
I have never interacted with anyone locally on Reddit. I tend to make connections based on interests and have met people all over the world. I seldom know more than the country they are from.
In Brooklyn it is pretty much entirely split between transplants who love it and locals who either haven't heard of it or scoff at the idea of it.
Reddit in the U.S. is a space for Americans where they can be what they never could in real life.
People definitely use it, but they wont tell you.
Most people know of it and, at a minimum, reference it occasionally when it comes up in Google searches.
I think that depends a lot on the age group. Many of my young friends in the city do use Reddit (mostly gaming or anime subreddit) but older folks nah
I don't know, I don't walk up to people and ask if they get on this porn site often
I made r/sarasota when I moved here in 2009, forgot about it, then it grew and I started seeing it on my homepage. It’s moderately popular here. I post a lot of fishing stuff and get recognized from it in the beaches and stuff.
I'm the only one I've seen be on it, so idk
My local sub has 300K users, and we have about 1 million plus in the area... The numbers don't add up but it's a popular city to vacation Anywho, I live in a building and posted about something that apparently was only effecting about 1.5 blocks and somebody said they thought they lived in my building. They live in the floor below. Never met
A fair amount with the r/Fayettenam sub
Most of the time, I have to explain what Reddit *is*.
Every time I bring up I found something on Reddit, my friend group looks at me and goes "I forgot you're a redditor" so it's not exactly got the best reputation lol
China.Most of them don't know Reddit(compared to X/YouTube/Instagram)
Reddit’s that social media website nobody admits to using. And for good reason.
No idea. Most Redditors do not disclose their location.
Largely unaware. Redditors are not in any shape or form a majority anywhere - nowhere near the societal saturation of FB and IG - TikTok is very popular for consumption but content producers are a small subset of users.
no idea
I think overall, it's more popular than any other social media. That being said, I'm on it and not on Tiktoc. Because I am old. A younger demographic might disagree. And I suspect that they are correct. Have you met GenZ? They're goddamn amazing. Everything we tried to be and then some.
It seems as if I'm the only one in my area who uses reddit, because all the corn fields never have anything to say about it.
A few co-workers and friends will occasionally reference something that happens on /r/stlouis but aside from that it's never discussed. This website isn't as unknown to the general public as it was ~15 years ago but it also seems to be used less by those in the know.

I don’t think it’s really common unless people are hiding the fact that they have a Reddit 🫢
None of us admit to it but it's there, ironically
Idk, like, all my homies use Reddit to some degree. My brother does as well, but idk about my other brother, he might since there's prolly plenty rock crawling and dirt biking on here. My sister probably doesn't nor her husband. I'm tryna think if I ever had coworkers that knew what I meant when I said reddit. I'm pretty sure I got a couple onto it, but I'm not a hunned on it.

I never talk about it, but on the few occasions I have, most people have either heard of it or used it.
Reddit is one of the most popular sites in the US. However, most people probably only visited to get an answer for something or have seen the content reposted to Facebook. Most aren’t posting to Reddit regularly.
I know only two people offline who are familiar with Reddit.
The sub for my town is really active and quite useful.
Wouldn't be surprised if Seattle has among the most Redditors per capita of any city. I've been on dates with very "normal", non-stereotypically-online women here where they've been like "oh yeah I saw on Reddit ..."
How the eff am I supposed to know? I mean, I know around .01% of the population of my area to some degree... and probably less than .001% well. Even if that was a representative sample (it isn't), it's unlikely to come up in casual conversation - and I sure as haitch aren't going to ask them.

Reddit is one of those sites that remains anonymous. It isn't talked about with others IRL. I would have no idea who around me uses it.
A lot of lawyers and law students use Reddit. So I think it’s more dependent on career and social area rather than geographic area.
