Hey everyone, as someone who spent most of his Reddit activity on the popular subreddit: askreddit, I wanted to start something similar here as well.
Just for reference, this is my comment karma breakdown on the subreddits:
To me askreddit was one of the golden sections of Reddit because it really got originality out of the writers and readers in there. It wasn't just a repost of an old link or a fast submission of some newd that has happened. It was users asking thought-provoking questions and getting users engaged and discussing everything and nothing. To me personally it was one of the most entertaining subreddits you could find at the time.
Here is a great example of what I mean, someone on Reddit 6 years ago made a thread asking the question:
A Reddit user started writing a fiction story about it, the readers wanted him to write the story further as they really liked it, and in the end it was so good that the rights to it were bought by Warner Bros., which announced the production of its movie adaptation.
Now how awesome is that! That Reddit user just used his imagination and managed to grab the attention of most readers that day just by writing on a social media. If you wanna follow the development of the movie that's still in the making, its called Rome Sweet Rome and has its own subreddit.
I wanna show that this platform is not just about authoring posts but that comments can be just as valuable to it. After all this is the attention economy so anything that gathers the readers attention, whether a short post, a snapshot or a tweet can get rewarded just as much as well.
I wanted to start it off with this question, as we humans are good at either finding patterns in randomness or thinking we've found them and the bigger the variance in randomness is the more coincidental it seems to us.
To answer the question myself, I knew since I had my first anniversary on Steemit that I happened to have signed up on the 24th of May 2016, exactly 2 months after 's creation on the 24th of March. But what surprised me that I noticed today was that the 24th of March was the exact date when I registered for Reddit also - 6 years ago.
This hit me like a big coincidence! Especially since Reddit was pretty much the only platform I still enjoyed at the time before Steemit came along. :)
Steemit; What's a big coincidence you have experienced?
To incentivize discussion between users I won't self-vote my post and instead save the voting power for awesome comments provided by the community!
