And it’s not far off. Reddit started as a simple website for sharing links, which users up vote and down vote and ultimately the best content makes it to the front page. It remains that same simple site at its core, but I am sure most of you would agree that in the past few years, it has transformed from being a content sharing platform to a phenomenon. Heck, movies are being made on Reddit response. All the fame (or criticism) aside, Reddit continues to be an excellent destination for finding awesome content that you otherwise might not have come across. And subreddits play a big role in this discovery and curation. Subreddits are topics you can subscribe to and the best of a given subreddit shows up on your front page. Reddit is huge. Really huge. There are a lot of subreddits, with new ones popping up every single day. If you are going to waste hours browsing funny, insightful, useful and interesting things on Reddit, you should follow the best Reddit has to offer.
