It’s always tempting to consider ‘the internet’ as a uniform group, but it’s a bunch of little groups smashed together.

Actually, watching meta commentary about reddit following the APIocolypse and other push factors is what cemented this for me. Comparing discussions here v. , say, Kiwi Farms (visiting their forum was enlightening for this purpose but otherwise a mistake), both groups agreed that reddit sucked, but for diametrically opposed reasons.
