    I honestly feel that reddit is more filled with wannabe techbros, failsons, faildaughters and rental leeches. I always get the vibe the worst kind of people post actively on reddit for affirmation and engagement within an anonymous space that has very little oversight. There are exceptions of course, certain fandom reddits are nice and all, but I truly feel reddit is where midling banal evil or inept individuals go to exist outside of whatever social environment they have within work and likely little else.

      This is correct. Go on any tech-hobbyist subreddit and half the posts are objectively wrong or bad advice regarding anything technical. Maybe techbros lurk or something, but they're definitely not actually posting much.

        I think all the actual techbros are on hacker news or blind or 4chan

          hackernews has been wannabes for ages, and 4chan even longer

            Hacker news is such a weird place. Maybe it's because I don't go on it enough but it seems like everybody there has absolutely no personality

            Every comment seems so devoid of life and energy, regardless of what opinion or statement it holds

              hackernews personalities:

              • irrelevant technical nitpick, usually about the website or title rather than the contents(60%)

              • irrelevant technical soapbox (traditionally ~40%, but these are increasingly being replaced by the even worse irrelevant political soapboxers)

              • actual hacker in the old-school sense / artist who does things with code (0.1%)

              • notable industry expert with long career who showed up in the comments because their work was being discussed (0.1%)

          I had never heard of blind before so I just checked it out. It looks like people sign posts with their company and salary. And here's a comment:

          $$$ greed is hard to fight unless you’re a celibate monk. Thought 1M is good for me but still going after clearing 3M

      Anyone who pays a corporation real money to give someone a pixelated sprite by their post is devoid of the capacity for rational thought
