The Culture Of Reddit

REDDIT has become the homepage of the internet. Founded in 2005, Reddit quickly grew into an influential community that decides what is important on the web. Reddit generates information and new content and gives birth to collaborative projects. The Reddit community has become so active that it has had an impact on recent political events like SOPA/CISPA. And like any real-world community, it also has its share of internal social issues, forcing it to grapple with its commitment to free speech and the lawlessness of the internet.

Now, PBS explores the genius behind the website and the people who breathed life into the concept.

    I’m still a bit surprised to hear that the median income bracket for the users is $0-24,999. Sure, there are tons of trolling kids on there but I always had the sense that there were really intelligent comments on there as well.

      Even intelligent people suffer from unemployment.

        I knew that someone would rebuttal with that. There’s no question that smart people come in all shapes and sizes but I still did expect at least an income level that was more ‘average.’
