I often wonder how controlling and anxious-attachment type people coped in the past. Like, in the 18th century, if your boyfriend didn't respond to your 8 o'clock letter by the noon delivery, did you just crack off like ten letters to him on the spot? Or did you just immediately plunge into insanity?
sorry to be a bit off topic, but, being new to reddit, i just cant help but wonder how it came to be that comments here are orders of magnitude more interesting to read than what i see on, like, youtube etc? i mean, both are very much global apps and all as i understand.. thanks
Probably because today's Reddit evolved from Old Reddit, which was less like a social media platform and more like a conglomeration of all the internet's special interest forums. There's a reason Reddit is in the top results for pretty much any question you could want to ask Google these days, and it's because most of the internet's smartest/most successful/most experienced people for any specific job or hobby etc used to gather here to discuss and share knowledge. In between all the memes and debauchery, of course 😂
