Reddit comments make a lot more sense when you assume every comment is from a 15 year old

By February 13, 2022 , No comments

It's amazing how often you see a debate in the comments where someone makes a great point and the very next (highly upvoted) comment is a logical fallacy. I'm pretty confident the average age of redditors is under 20 by now. With lack of insight becoming the hallmark of a reddit commentor, it's become my default assumption that if someone is visibly, loudly, confused about something very simple on reddit, I just remind myself that they're probably literal children, and move on.

 

Edit: Peeps, I'm talking about a changing demographic here, being a young ignorant person is part of life and nothing to be ashamed of. I understand the boomers are the worst and all people suck generally. But we don't have a massive onramp of boomers joining reddit, so that's not the topic fam.

 

/u/Fantastic-Berry-737 commented with this fine piece of data research which shows that approximately 20%+ reddit users are between the age of 10-19 as of March 2021 I get this doesnt prove my point, as some have mentioned, but it does support the broader idea that the reddit demographic has more children than ever before.

Since I hit the top of the sub, I will be roasting ya'll in the comments lol. Much love
