The bizarre hostility of Reddit users is baffling. It’s like they’ve never interacted with a human being in real life and have no idea how to process an opinion that isn’t a 1:1 match of their own.
You could say something like “I love waffles! :D” and get a response that is like “Oh, so you hate pancakes then? Wow, you didn’t need to shit on every person that loves pancakes.”
Most of them are trolls. Some are cantankerous normal people, but most are probably getting paid or are bots. Anger gets engagement and division helps Russia, China, etc. It’s a win-win for reddit.
