#youtubehaiku

It's super weird that after 12 years I'm finally getting off of Reddit.

I've always been a lurker, I don't really post much anywhere, but since about 2011 I've had a Reddit account and been upvoting, downvoting, and saving bookmarks. I never thought I'd see the day when a bunch of *Redditors* didn't give enough of a shit to stop the hated management from impacting their precious "free speech" zones.

It feels weird that tomorrow I won't be able to pull out my phone as I get ready for my day and look at the latest Warhammer news and amazing mini paint jobs, see people asking the stupidest questions in r/AskReddit, laugh at something obtuse and nonsensical in r/antijokes or r/fifthworldproblems, or even see a Wednesday Frog post in r/youtubehaiku.

Reddit has always been a center for niche knowledge and a cesspool of snarky neckbeards constantly trying to one-up each other for Internet Points but I will miss some of the esoteric knowledge that you just couldn't find anywhere else.

Anyway, fuck Reddit, fuck Spez, and please don't fuck me Tumblr. For all your ups and downs, I've been here forever too. If this weird little site can live through being bought by Yahoo and the Porn Ban, it can live through just about anything.

Of course, I thought that about Reddit too.

Another hot new reaction vid for you guys

[carry-on-my-wayward-butt]

IF YOU CAN’T GO ANYWHERE, IF YOU DON’T HAVE MONEY, THERE IS THIS.

open this video in a browser you don’t use, like edge

mute the tab so you dont get bothered by the ads.

MUTE THE TAB, NOT THE VIDEO.

the video needs to be at least half volume and at least 480p. try to keep it going in the highest quality your computer/connection can handle.

do not minimize the window, just keep it in the background if you’re not going to watch it. the musical selection in the video is good tho and there’s lots of artists featured.

do not loop.

DO NOT LOOP.

set a timer for one hour. when the timer is finished, the video will be too.

watch a few videos from your favorite creators. vary the subject matter. use the same tab to perhaps browse r/youtubehaiku to find some short videos to enjoy.

after you’ve watched 4 or 5 other videos, manually search for this video again by using the youtube search bar.

rinse and repeat.

the reason you’re opening it in an unused browser is to allow the ads to play unhindered, so you won’t have to disable your adblockers on your usual browser. disabling your adblockers leaves you vulnerable elsewhere on the internet. this way you can help and be safe.

the person who posted it is donating all of the ad revenue, and there’s plenty of other videos like this! (link)(link)(link) if you can’t go out and you don’t have money, theres this.

don’t forget to sign petitions (thread) and boost bail funds (thread).

Hey Jess, I've never really understood reddit but I kinda wanna try it out except it seems super confusing!! Do you have any tips for getting started or any subreddit recs? ☺️☺️

Hello!

So you’re right- Reddit is very confusing to try and get into. Essentially, it creates a news feed based on subreddits you ‘subscribe’ to (meaning you see their posts in your news feed). When you click on a post’s comments, there will be comment chains. That’s the main things that looks confusing, I think- comments can nest more or less endlessly, so you can end up with comments on lots of different levels and it looks confusing. You can always just click ‘hide child comments�� on a comment to hide all replies and make it look nicer!

So Reddit, like any website, is diverse. Reddit is a very very popular website, and it does have some very unpleasant groups within it. Overall, I’d argue it’s centrist but right-leaning, and very very American-centric. If you end up on the wrong subreddits, you will be plunged into straight-up alt-right hell. If you go on the right ones, it’s a somewhat pleasant experience, as long as you know when to stop reading the heavily downvoted comments and just log off.

(Upvotes and downvotes affect where a comment appears within a chain when you sort by ‘top’ or ‘best’, which is the standard sorting option for most threads. The most upvoted will display first, the most downvoted last, etc. You’re meant to upvote when a comment adds to the discussion and downvote when it doesn’t, but nobody uses them that way because this is the internet.)

You’ll sometimes see people refer to ‘defaults’. Defaults used to be the subreddits that everyone would automatically be subscribed to when they signed up- sort of like a starter pack. A while ago Reddit vastly increased the number of defaults and, in the process, wrecked a lot of subs. For examples, twoxchromosomes, the feminist/ women’s space sub (not transphobic despite the name) got made a default and got filled with men howling that they had to see Women’s News on their feed (never mind that you can... unsubscribe...). Defaults no longer exist, but some damage has definitely been done, as when smaller subs get bigger they tend to draw in more of the centrist-teenage-boy userbase. Anyway.

Another thing to note is that sometimes threads get ‘brigaded’. Brigading happens when a thread is linked somewhere else on Reddit and people from that subreddit turn up and start arguing/ pushing their own agenda. This happens most commonly with /r/gendercritical, Reddit’s TERF sub. Brigading is technically against the rules, but there’s not too much you can do when it happens other than accept that that thread is garbage now.

(or, if you’re me, argue with transphobes because you don’t value your free time and mental well-being)

It very much depends on what you like and what you’re into, but some of the subs I spend the most time in are:

/r/nosleep: original horror fiction. Some REALLY good stuff here. Sort by top of all time and prepare yourself. My personal favourites include ‘Have you heard of the left/right game?’ (which is a series), ‘Feed The Pig’ and ‘The Deepest Part Of The Ocean Is Not Empty’. 

/r/shortscarystories is good for the same thing, but in less words. There are some incredibly talented people there.

/r/askreddit: this is one of the biggest subreddits (I think it might be the biggest?) and the premise is simple: ask questions, other people answer. Askreddit varies from amazing to terrible depending on who shows up to answer. That being said, I’ve lost hours in AskReddit threads reading personal stories, recommendations, warnings, celebrations and whatever else. It’s a great sub to get started in IMO.

/r/bestoflegaladvice offers a space to discuss threads from /r/legaladvice and other legal advice threads. This sub has been my obsession for over a year now. Go on top of all time and live your best life. Be cautious, though, as the nature of the subs mean that rape/ assault do come up quite often.

/r/nostupidquestions is exactly what it sounds like. Sometimes you see a question and you’re like ‘.... huh. how DOES that work?’

/r/askscience is a beautiful place. The moderators rule with an iron fist and comments that do not answer the question get deleted very quickly. People are also flaired (have a little bit added by their name) in accordance with their field of study/ qualifications, and you have to send the mods proof in order to get that. I’m told /r/askhistorians is a similarly excellent sub.

/r/relationships is an excellent place for drama, if you’re into that. Again, top of all time and controversial of all times are my jam. Again, warnings for assault, abuse etc apply.

/r/trollxchromosomes is a great place for feminist chat, memes and anger. /r/twoxchromosomes used to be where people went for that, but after it got made a default, it never really recovered IMO.

/r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns, often referred to as traa or similar, is a sub for trans people by trans people that is primarily just memes (there are other subs for more serious conversations). I like to hang out there to get memes to send my trans & NB friends, and everyone there is so lovely and kind.

/r/actuallesbians is a great space for WLW of all types! They block transphobes, biphobes, aphobes etc- the ‘actual’ is just there because /r/lesbians is a porn sub.

If you’re from the UK, /r/casualuk is one of my favourite places. It’s nice to get away from the unrelenting Americanness sometimes.

/r/youtubehaiku collects short (under 30 second) videos and I love it. Again, top of all time. It’s pretty meme heavy at times, but I still enjoy it a lot. /r/meirl and /r/hmmm also offer good memes/ funny pictures.

(I also enjoy /r/gay_irl lmao)

Uhh /r/todayifuckedup (commonly referred to as TIFU) is another one that’s great to binge-read top of all time, as it’s people recounting their biggest fuck-ups which is excellent for schaudenfreude. 

I really really love /r/maliciouscompliance which is beautifully summarised as ‘following the letter of, but not the spirit of, a rule’. Basically, fucking people over by doing exactly what they asked of you.

/r/wholesomememes and /r/humansbeingbros are good places to cheer you up and make you feel good!

/r/blackpeopletwitter, /r/whitepeopletwitter and /r/scottishpeopletwitter: the holy trinity

I could keep going for ages, haha. Half of the fun of Reddit is discovering new subs, though, so I won’t. Happy Redditing! xx
