I've been on Reddit for 13 years, from the site's heyday as 'the front page of the internet' up until now. I remember viral AMAs (Woody Harrelson's infamous, disastrous promotional AMA for the movie Rampart spawned a million community inside jokes), and subreddits going dark in protest for rules changes. Another user once gave me Reddit Gold via the old reward system for a helpful post about beginner comic book recommendations. I was in the threads for what might have been the funniest (safe for work) thing I've ever read on the internet, when a guy hated the steak his wife's boss cooked for him, and tried to throw it out the window.
As a 34-year-old man, Reddit has been a part of my adult life for almost as long as I've been an adult. Just a few weeks ago, I asked the r/DIY community for help on an issue and got a load of very helpful, if occasionally contradictory, responses from kind strangers.
