The vast majority of redditors are incredibly myopic and narrow minded. If an idea I share anywhere on reddit gets down voted I usually consider this a sign that im on to something
I’m serious, redditors basically lack any imagination, creativity, or ability to consider unique ideas. I wouldnt mind if their attacks were well thought out and genuienly challenge the idea; but 98% of the time its like the haven’t even read what’s proposed and just present arguments against what ever pre existing notions in their tiny heads maps closest to the idea presented. For any good ideas, the nearist mapping existing thoughts are usually pretty far away.
If something is shared and gets a lot of upvotes, I usually consider it a sign that it’s too derivative an idea to be important or it serves the interests of existing power structures.
