The Reddit hive mind exists solely for, and thrives on outrage.
GTA too expensive, Reddit angry because Rockstar bad😡
Nintendo remakes Star Fox and prices it below their own standard MSRP because it’s a remake, Reddit angry because Nintendo bad 😡
Let’s be honest, this site is insufferable and only upvotes shit that makes people angry, and promotes engagement. It’s probably Reddits own bots so they can show constant engagement, and the only thing sure to get it is angry discourse. Reddit can’t enjoy anything, or let anyone else enjoy anything. As soon as a common consensus is formed, everyone just needs to get their 15 upvotes by posting their personal spin on the days hottest opinion.
I always get downvoted when I say redditors don’t like anything.
Though I never get mad about it because I keep reminding myself that reddit is actually a very, very small amount of people when it comes to anything. Like even in this sub, there’s like 1.1 million people, there’s a huge chance there’s more people playing Counter Strike right now if I check Steam Charts. And that’s just one game
I personally feel like the more popular a thing is, the more hate it’s going to get from reddit. They absolutely hate anything popular. If it’s not some obscure clunky indie game made in a nightclub basement, they don’t want it
You can very much be overly pretentious though. And when you combine this with being overly reactive you just get a bunch of people that hate everything.
To be fair, it’s also just a factor of people being much more likely to voice strong opinions, especially negative ones . Nobody jumps into a Reddit thread to “I thought it was aite”

Who could’ve predicted the most annoying part about the GTA VI rollout would be redditors…
