View submission: /u/MRItopMD loses patience with reddit pedantry

The point this person misses is that Reddit isn’t a group of friends hanging out in real life somewhere.

It’s an Internet forum. And while it’s full of garbage and shitposts, it has its own idiosyncratic way of dealing with communication separate from other comment sections on the internet. Take YouTube’s comment section - that’s some truly mean and vile and toxic material. So by contrast I’d say Reddit isn’t the worst.

I’m actually pleasantly surprised at how well it brings to the top the most specialized comments where someone who studied or works in a specific esoteric field will contribute helpful info at the right time.
