Impact of Reddit

 Reddit is not only a place to post what you like, but also allows a
sense of unity between the users in a certain subreddit.
 People come together to share a funny picture or to tell a
heartwarming story.
 Reddit is made up of many diverse cultures, inviting anyone from
any part of the world to join a conversation with a shared
subreddit.
 Instead of posting your pictures or updating your status, reddit
allows you to discuss, learn, and share various topics with
different people.
 You don’t have the need to compare yourself with someone’s
“perfect life” like you see on other social media.

Would I Use Reddit

 I frequently use Reddit as my main social media app.

 I don’t have to post pictures of myself or what I am doing, and I don’t
have to look at anyone else's’ life and try to compare their life with mine.
 I keep updated with world news, movie news like Star Wars and Marvel
movies, look at funny pictures to pass the time, and read other people’s
life experiences.
 Reddit is a fun place to lose yourself in because of how many subreddits
you can explore, there really is a place for anybody.
