Reddit - The heart of the internet
Main Post: Reddit - The heart of the internet
what is redditmedia.com?
Main Post:
I was messing around and I discovered redditmedia.com, it appears to be classic reddit but only the home page.
Top Comment: Just discovered this and I am bewildered Edit: I don't know if this is correct but it seems like a tool for Reddit developers, no idea what it does or what it's otherwise for.
Where to find a Reddit to help you find a media you can’t remember the name of?
Main Post:

Consider who owns Reddit and then ask yourself….

Am I being lied to ? What’s not allowed to be said on here ? Who gives anyone the right to block or censor ? How does information being censored or blocked keep me from knowing valuable information in order to control me ?
"In 2011, Reddit was fully transferred to the ownership of Advance Publications, which is the parent company of Condé Nast.
Advance Publications is a prominent media company that has holdings in several industries, including cable television, newspapers, and magazines.
Through its holding companies, Advance Publications has significant ownership in companies such as Charter Communications, Discovery, and Condé Nast. Reddit is one of its more prominent digital media holdings.
The acquisition of Reddit by Advance Publications had a significant impact on the platform. The company has been instrumental in providing the resources necessary for the platform to expand and evolve.
Under its ownership, Reddit has continued to grow into one of the largest social media platforms on the web."
If you think your tv cable news is telling you the truth or allowing anyone on it to tell you the truth, then you might think you’re getting an accurate depiction of society and some kind of truth here on Reddit. But you are not. We live in a country ran by corporations that do not want certain narratives being shown for what they are, false and misleading, and purely disinformation. Your tv or some of us like to call it “the dumb box”, has been pedaling lies about wars and politics your entire lives. Reddit is no different. Just like Boomers who get their info from Fox or CNN, Millennials have their version of corporate owned lies as well, it’s called social media. The majority of what I see in this group is careful manipulation and the whole way Reddit interacts with the up vote down vote exists to keep you in the group.
Anyone see that video of the girl on the elevator and they did an experiment where they had a group get on and all face the opposite way to see if she would turn around even thought she was facing the correct way ? Yea, thats reddit.
Top Comment: It's hard to understand people who call msm fake or think they are always lying to you. For some reason they hear a opinion and confuse it for the news. Or they watch a news program and again confuse that with "the news" While all have somewhat a Bias. Where some stories are promoted over others. Only on the right. Will they completely misinform, ignore, or play victim to a event that should be apart of the news. The news bias toward the left. Might not tell the story every ten minutes. But they will at least tell it. Which comes back to your secondary point about reddit. I agree. Somewhat. As the manipulation of the up/down arrows, the Karma stuff, is made for the mods and the more connected to get there point shown and at the top of all opinions. Any system that can be manipulated to favor those that know how to manipulate it. Is indeed rigged.
Why is Reddit so overwhelmingly left wing and anti work?
Main Post:
I’m a 36 year old blue collar guy. I was raised by a hard working middle class family. I was taught that nothing is handed to you and if you want something, you work for it. I see absolutely nothing wrong with this way of thinking..
I’m part of numerous different subreddits and most of these subs are very similar to one another. It’s just a bunch of people trying to push this narrative that “America is racist” and having a good work ethic and working hard is this evil thing that should be looked down on.
I get downvoted and called the most vile, disgusting things just because I believe in having goals and working hard to achieve your goals. I don’t understand why Im basically getting rocks thrown at me from every direction. I feel like Reddit is so far detached from reality. It’s almost like I’m on a different planet where nothing makes sense anymore. Up is down, the sky is green, right is wrong.
When I’m not on Reddit and I’m living my everyday life or I’m on other social media platforms I run into more people who share my same views but it seems like on Reddit it’s mostly people pushing this left wing/anti work agenda. I very rarely see anyone who disagrees with these people. It’s the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen.
Reddit is clearly not balanced at all. Just seems like one giant left wing echo chamber.
Top Comment: One reason you might be feeling baffled is that you're assuming things go hand-in-hand when they dont actually have anything to do with each other. You've asked: Why is Reddit so overwhelmingly left wing...? Why is Reddit so... anti work? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you may be assuming these things go together when they don't. I don't know anyone who considers themselves to be on the left who is against working. I think maybe you're confusing being against working with being against letting people with unearned wealth take advantage of people who have to earn their wealth. I’m a 36 year old blue collar guy. I was raised by a hard working middle class family. I was taught that nothing is handed to you and if you want something, you work for it. I see absolutely nothing wrong with this way of thinking. Cool, me too (well not a guy and I'm 42, but you know what I mean). I'm from Detroit. We are proud of how hard we work and that we can see the impact of what we do with our own hands. I was taught the same thing. The difference may be that I was also taught to not let myself be taken advantage of by the companies I work for. When I was growing up here in Detroit, many working class people either worked for one of the Big Three auto manufacturers or did work related to them. So, the UAW and other unions were a big part of the culture. When a union would vote to strike, the attitude toward employers (aka "Management") wasn't "We don't want to work and you can't make us!" Instead, the attitude was very much, "Hurry up, stop being greedy, and get your s***t together because we want to get back to work!" Doing that was the way that working class people could build wealth: buy houses, save for retirement, etc.. Execs in the Big Three still got super rich, but the working class people who did the work that made them rich weren't left with nothing, at least. The fact is, big companies and wealthy families conspire to get you to work more for less so they can work less for more. The unions were (and maybe still are) an answer to that. Anyway, I think it's very similar to most Redditors in 2024. Only, Redditors are mostly people my age and (much) younger. We never had a chance to benefit as adults from strong unions in the manufacturing and skilled trade industries. By the time we became adults, most blue collar jobs that would pay a decent wage were long gone, outsourced to China or Mexico or some other places where the people were poorer and therefore more desperate than Americans. And now, I have kids who are Redditors (late teens/early 20s). People like my kids never even had the benefit of seeing that working class people could make a decent living, let alone build wealth at all. From where they sit, working class people work until they die or are disabled (at which point they live in poverty). Meanwhile, unearned wealth among the super rich is higher than it has ever been in human history. So, yeah, people around my kids' age are much angrier and more hopeless about the prospect of financial security than I was at there age, even though I was much, much angrier and anxious than my parents ever were. having a good work ethic and working hard is this evil thing that should be looked down on. Now, this is why I think you're confused, because I've never in my life heard anyone...except wealthy people say a word against working hard. So, I'm wondering if that confusion may have caused you to assume that people who say that America is racist are simple "pushing a narrative" instead of pointing out something that's truer than you may think. I mean, just because you haven't experienced being put in danger or pushed out from opportunities only because of your race doesn't mean other people haven't been. And if you didn't just assume people were lying when they told you about racism they've experienced or seen, you might see that. Otherwise, you wouldn't assume that people acknowledging racism are doing so for the same imaginary reasons you think make them "against hard work". So, again: you know what they say about assumptions. I get downvoted and called the most vile, disgusting things just because I believe in having goals and working hard to achieve your goals. No, that's not why. I already explained above so I won't belabor the point. I feel like Reddit is so far detached from reality. It’s almost like I’m on a different planet where nothing makes sense anymore. Up is down, the sky is green, right is wrong. Could it be that most of your information about the world comes from people you already agree with? That would explain why other opinions strike you as being fake or unreal. If you were my friend outside of the Internet, I'd give you the unsolicited advice to stay on Reddit and, just for the sake of argument, try reading what you see hear without assuming it's bulls**t before you even think about it at all.
