Which internet service is better?
4chan is an image board sharing site, allowing users to post on numerous topics throughout the site. reddit is a social media, latest happenings, news, entertainment website which allows users to post news that subsequently get voted up or down depending on interest and popularity.
Both have gained considerable popularity of late.
Compare 4chan and reddit yourself. Tell us who you think is better?
Asking the question which is better, Reddit or the infamous 4chan, is a vague one.
Before I go into the pros of Reddit, I had to exemplify the cons of 4chan. 4chan is actually full of antisocials, yes, but as most of their kind are they are also extremely intelligent. Often too much for their own good. From the craziness of /X/ to the life time favorites of films I’ve discovered on /tv, their taste and intellect reigns supreme over Reddit’s general population.
As a Reddit user of coming on four years I’ve seen the all page of my account turn into a heap of r/funny cat gifs. I’ve had to, and continue to, modify my subreddits slowly deleting a default off each year. Nowadays I usually go on Reddit for news (as my own source of it), comic book suggestions, Skyrim mods, or to find an awesome Wallpaper for my alternating desktop.
When it boils down to it, Reddit is good for exploiting your interests while 4chan is good for discovering them.
Still overall I think I, and most, choose Reddit to reign over contemporary message boards.
