The Magic Behind User-Generated Content
Why’s Reddit so addictive? It’s the stories, the advice, the debates – all coming from users like you and me. Here’s the scoop:
- Subreddits: Imagine halls filled with your favorite conversations, from tech wonders to the art of cookie decorating.
- Votes: Your way of saying “this rocks” or “this sucks,” guiding what gets seen.
- AMAs: Picture chatting with your hero over coffee. That’s an AMA.
