I feel as though I have had many throughout my time here, but two came to mind today.
- The double standard in celebrity AMAs The celebrities can be viewed almost as "guests" on reddit and one should be nicer than usual. However, people with most brown nose type responses seem to receive the most upvotes.
For example, when Matt Barkley did an AMA in /r/cfb, he replied to some comment with, "THIS." This comment would usually receive a plethora of downvotes, but the highest commented replied was, "OMG, He is one of us!!!!!"
I saw this in the Terry Crew AMA today also. He seems like a great individual and his replies were very insightful. However, redditors replies along the lines of, "THIS IS THE GREATEST REPLY ONE CAN MAKE FOR THE QUESTION," etc, etc is personally aggravating.
- When did we fully adopt the vocabulary of 4chan? I understand users overlap between the two sites, but in the past there was a smugness from reddit towards 4channers (Not that I agreed with it). Nowadays, I see "OP is a faggot" in a majority of comment sections with many many upvotes. I still love the site, and I understand that Reddit is a very large dynamic community, but it troubles me that a majority of the site has adopted 4chan-isms. (I must admit that I do enjoy a rustling of jimmies joke now and again. Certainly my Jimmies get rustled by these two acts.)
I have a feeling this type of post is a pet peeve of many redditors, for that I apologize.
