If anything, I'd argue that Reddit right now, is a giant contender for "The Real Internet Hate Machine,". OG 4ch used to be the internet hate machine because that's what it spewed forth regularly with abandon towards anyone it deemed fucking annoying. Reddit on the other hand, creates hate, it teaches others to hate, and if you don't follow their church of hatred and stolen morals, then you become a target.
The only reason It's not truely the internet hate machine, is because Tiktok is exactly the above, but worse. Reddit rewards hate with a useless number and a chance to be put on a pedestal (the front page), nobody but the admins, astroturfers, bribed moderators and ad spammers make money on reddit. Tiktok rewards you with real money for creating hate and making people hateful.

Reddit is only useful for extremely niche communities, tech support usually doesn't shit it up... unless the fucking jannies and powermods take it over, then you're fucked.

The funny thing is? The stereotype of "The Redditor" is more-applicable to reddit's jannies than it's users. Why? Simple. The enviroment of a forum is a product of it's leaders and managers. if those leaders and managers are petty, vindictive, dogmatic, narcissistic, and nepotistic manchildren seeking validation and social connection at the expense of the community they lead, then no wonder it ends up devolving into a fucking cult of angry retards.
But really, Reddit as a platform is also designed to cultivate this mentality through upvotes and karma. upvotes being a meaningless but not-so-meaningless number that lowers and raises your front-page relevents, while "karma" is basically a "reddit street credit score".
And to top it all off: Reddit has more indian users than any single other demographic, what does that tell you?
