Notes de l'éditeur
- Back in 2005, Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian drove up to Harvard to see Paul Graham give a speech on “How to Start a Start-Up”. Inspired by him, they were able to sit down with Graham and lay out their idea for what would eventually become reddit. With the seed money from Graham’s company, Y Combinator, the two young entrepreneurs set out to fill a void that RSS feeds only attempted to cover.
- Anonymity is a big draw for the website, while also a hurdle (more on that later in presentation). Also, it is relatively independent of other social media sites, but works with other sponsors for special offers through Reddit Gold.
- Reddit gold – offers special features (points out new comments in thread, notifications when username is tagged, turn off ads, and special offers from sponsors – UPS, several online clothing retailers, cookies, Reddit Gifts)
- Troll – someone who posts offensive material to get downvoted Lurker – someone who views a post without commenting or voting
- Guide through how to sign up for own reddit
- Other fun reddits include r/vinyls, r/nosleep, and r/explainlikeim5
- Offensive subreddits include r/jailbait, r/gore, r/theredpill, and r/creepshots. Although, in good news, a Georgia teacher was fired last year after he posted a “creepshot” of one of his students on the subreddit. Other redditors (including one who knew the girl) reported him to the school and local authorities.
