When I think of value, it's something that is needed. If reddit disappeared right now, nothing would change. Everyone's lives would continue on as normal, and what information that is on reddit can be found elsewhere. It's entertaining, yes, but not valuable.

That's not what "valuable" means.

In this context, it is. Reddit isn't even a tangible product, barely 18 years old. The 3rd party apps made reddit a little valuable, I'll admit, but still there is nothing on reddit that is unavailable elsewhere.

Of course these are just my opinions I never said I was speaking for everyone, that's the point of conversing.

So again, it's not valuable to you. It's obviously valuable to the people that keep using it. So it is... valuable.

My god you are insufferable. Go back to reddit you troll.
