I originally joined Reddit in 2011, and in the beginning it was dominated by cat content. It was rare to see a post about dogs. Sometime in the mid 20-teens this phenomenon reversed. It’s always been a “pet theory” of mine that this reversal was due to Reddit becoming mainstream, and that it’s initial nerdy/techie user base preferred cats to dogs.
I think my theory is further supported by Lemmy. It’s pretty clear that most of Lemmy’s user base are techies, and currently it’s dominated by cat content. Just a shower thought. May be wrong.
NOTE: I love dogs and cats. This post isn’t arguing favoritism.
So you’re saying that dogs ruined Reddit. I agree. 🤭
Your comment made these three dogs sad. Think on that please.
Mine didn’t even use Reddit but now lives in prison :(
To be fair, they look very mischievous
He’d prob shitpost on /r/AskReddit if he had the chance.
Wouldn’t someone think of the
childrendogs.😢
These dogs are sad because they know you’re going to ruin another social network.
Your mom ruined Reddit.
