There are no original thoughts. Reddit does however love to endlessly discuss the thoughts of others. And cats. A lot of cats for some reason.
Seriously though, most of what makes reddit great is the discussion that happens in the smaller subreddits.

Name one worthwhile meme they've created that isn't a poorly vectored real life image or something stolen from another website. you might find one or two examples, but that's IT. the LE UPBOAT XD system you have is nothing but one big circlejerk of plagiarism.
Sorry, now I get it, you judge websites based on their ability to churn out high quality Microsoft Paint comics. Yeah, reddit kinda sucks at original highschool freshman content.

4chan, on the other hand, is perfect. no usernames to edgy 15 year olds can't gain notoriety, very lax rules on posting guidelines, no ****** mods, pretty much FREEDOM in imageboard form.
No one can tell these kids not to type ****** on the Internet. so brave. Viva la resistance!
4chan would be great if it wasn't for all the damn 4channers.
There are no original thoughts? HAHAHAHAHAH OH WOW BOYS WE'VE GOT OURSELVES A REDDIT PHILOSOPHER!!!!!!
That's how you justify your content theft? OH THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT...Then why do copyrights and patents exist? LMFAO, how delusional can you possibly be kid?
The lack of worthwhile memes created at reddit shows the lack of creativity and overall user base cohesion. "The majority of our website is utter garbage, but there's small parts that are LE good~~!!!! xddddDD" You're literally digging your own grave here, if the MAJORITY OF YOUR SITE IS GARBAGE, I'VE GOT SOME BAD NEWS FOR YOU.........LMAO
Again, reddit is nothing but one big circlejerk of stolen content from around the internet. Few people actually respect people who frequent that site. Hell, even funnyjunk has created more original content than reddit, and that's saying something.
Funny you make fun of MS paint comics, yet your usebase stole the "troll face" meme, which IS LITERALLY THE DEFINITION OF A HS MS PAINT COMIC, among many other MS paint things we came up with in 2 minutes and have subsequently discarded. Do you enjoy playing with our used toys? do you like living in 4chan's shadow?
Reddit is like 4chan's ******** little brother, always trying to play our games, wear our clothes, walk like us, talk like us, etc.
Maybe if your site wasn't based off stolen content and circlejerky LE UPBOATS XDDDDddd you might have a SOMEWHAT decent website.
but you don't. reddit is one of the lower rungs of the human centipede of internet culture, 4chan being at the top.
