Ive noticed that off topic usually has the same post as the front page of reddit word for word in most cases. Not really bothered by it at all but it seems the off topic forum could be replaced with a link to Reddit

Obviously that wouldn't work because it wouldn't contribute to our post count here on Dakka.

It wasn't always that way, but the quality of the OT forum has taken a significant nosedive in the last several months.
It also used to be funny, as opposed to the angry douchefest that is is now.

Eh, Fark hasn't been relevant in awhile.
Reddit is essentially a watered down 4chan, with some stupid political blogs and interesting discussions mixed in.
Then 9gag is a watered down Reddit.
And Memebase is a watered down 9gag.
I go to reddit after stumbling onto a jaw-droppingly horrific pic on 4chan. I ain't ever goin' back there, that's fo sure.

I've never been to reddit. I only learned what it was about six months ago, on a Cracked article.
But the sites I go to probably do go to reddit, so the effect is the same.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

I listen to the radio because I do a lot of commuting. I think largely what you are seeing is coincidental, or rather what's trending in the news is up voted on reddit.

I don't go to Reddit. I find it mystifying that they are as successful as they are with an interface as crappy as it is.
I usually surf the MSM sites, RCP, Dakka, and Fark, among others.

100% Agreed. I love the site (X patron of 4chan got sick of sifting thru all the cancer) but the interface is pure balls, however the core concept is brilliant and it still mangers to flourish despite a UI that make my brain hurt.
