Reddit. Reddit is a social media and content-aggregation hivemind website which bills itself as "The Front Page of the Internet.
" It is a popular site on the web, receiving over 37 billion views and 400 million unique visitors in 2012 alone,[3] yet can't make itself profitable.[4] Being absolutely huge,[5] it has attracted a large number of fuckwits. Some sub-communities have achieved legendary odiousness, particularly a weird brand of sexually-naïve yet resentful sexists, and a gathering of ardent pedophilia apologists. And this is apart from the general reactionaries who've adopted it as a platform. For local interest, the Reddit atheists, particularly in /r/Atheism, are considerably lamer than one might hope.

Reddit in uproar after staff sacking. Social news site Reddit is in virtual lockdown in protest over the sacking of popular employee Victoria Taylor.
Ms Taylor oversaw the "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) section of the site that interviewed celebrities, politicians and other newsworthy figures. About 100 chat sections, or sub-reddits, that together have millions of readers are believed to have been shut. Reddit's only comment about the issue has been to say that it did not talk about "individual employee matters". The protests were led by the volunteer moderators of the AMA section, which said in an explanatory posting that they needed Ms Taylor's to keep the sub-reddit functioning. Ms Taylor helped organise guests for AMAs and worked to verify that people due to answer questions were who they said they were. There had been no explanation of why she was suddenly sacked, said the administrators. Aaron Swartz.
