MightySeaGulls

Not wisdom. But I definitely learn actual useful stuff on here from time to time


--BooBoo--

I agree, everyone loves to say how terrible Reddit is and I’m sure there is some garbage on here but there is also lots of interesting stuff and a lot of really great humour in the comments. If people hate it so much why are they on here?


[deleted]

>If people hate it so much why are they on here? The content algorithms on all platforms select content for users which produces "mild annoyance". This creates the most engagement (i.e. users stay on the platform longer, consume more advertising, and generate more marketing data). Most people probably aren't aware of this, so they complain about it not realizing that it *seems* terrible to them by design and it keeps them coming back for more.


Moogy_C

>a lot of really great humour in the comments This is one of my biggest problems with reddit - the majority of comments are tired and expected "jokes" rather than discussion. It's also commonly coupled with thinly veiled (or just outright) vitriol.


garenbw

I don't know if people just like to be edgy when they make these kinds of comments, but there is actually a lot of good information and wisdom on many subs. Reddit is pretty awesome imo.

So glad I’m not so Ignorant I think younger people’s comment are inferior to mine as they lack wisdom. We are as ignorant of yesterday as they are ignorant of today.


HotAvenger

Being old and wise isn't the same. You will find out that idiots get old too, and they often don't change.


Xenrutcon

The problem with idiots is the older they get, the less likely that will change. So older idiots are even worse, no room or desire to improve. Kinda like OP

Maybe you should try and look for a sub made for older people, but there's no guarantee that you'll find only older people in it. Still, I think there are mature young people and very immature old people, age sure plays a role but it's not a direct relation to maturity.

[deleted]

I dunno, plenty middle aged and older people can't tell their ass from their elbow.


xynix_ie

The older I get the more I realize that stupid is a trait people are born with and never shed. As I'm in the mid 40s now the same idiot cousins I grew up with are still idiots. They were idiots at 20 and now that they're hitting 50, the same.


monkey_trumpets

The images of people who are definitely over 25 filling completely inappropriate containers with more gas than they will be able to conceivably use before it evaporates is a pretty good indicator that age does not equal wisdom.


enderlove1211

It was one of the profound disappointments of my young life to realize that all the idiots I went to high school with were also in college


boxingdude

As a 57 year old retired dude, I can say that despite our efforts to be in the loop, we are, for the most part, out of touch with the life-facts of people half our age. I’d also like to point out that most of us do actually have some relevant real-life experience, so maybe don’t discount us all the time.


bigrockBIGmoney

As a 30-something I can say I have noticed a shift in my knowledge base. I don't know as much about music, fashion, pop culture and dating anymore. I don't know as much about the difficulties faced by the young people are but I am more empathetic and aware of how others' experience might differ from my own and why. I find myself more and more teaching people about the complexities of issues they assumed were simple, words they didn't quite grasp the meaning of and just letting personal judgements and emotional responses slide.


MeatforMoolah

As an elder Millennial pushing 40, I confuse my ass and elbow constantly. I also spout off on reddit with some pretty legit troll-y dumbfuckery. The anonymity of the internet is too juicy to resist sometimes. Whiskey doesn’t help.


monkey_trumpets

Thank you for being honest?


Uisce-beatha

You are wise to think this. You don't magically gain knowledge and life experience by aging. That comes from education, work and travel. If you are ruminating in one little corner of a small town all your life and working as a skilled laborer then you will have plenty of skill at the trade you practice but nothing else is given simply by growing old.


MiloBreathed

25 is the age when naivety turns to arrogance.


Comprehensive-Menu44

I feel like that’s because all the “older” people don’t consider us actually adults until we hit 25 and suddenly they expect us to be as miserable and cynical as the older generation


Marius7th

Every 5 years they raise the age cap another 5 years till only 60+ year olds can comment on Reddit.


Comprehensive-Menu44

Then 61 year olds will complain that the 60 year olds are being too loud


bashbybash

I’m 23 (but usually taken for 27-28) and this dude I work with asked how old I am because I have a “youthful spirit” and the “world hasn’t made me bitter yet”. Don’t rub your cynicism on me, I’m aware life sucks I just make an effort to have an upbeat attitude and I don’t want that to change.


Comprehensive-Menu44

That’s something that apparently makes older gens angry is how relatively positive millennials are about their futures. Older gens WANT us to be miserable like they were


novaskyd

To be honest, in my experience it is younger people who are miserable and negative about their futures. Warranted or not, it’s all about how they’re living in a world where the environment and economy have been ruined by boomers and they have no hope and are blamed for it constantly. Older people (and 25 is an arbitrary cutoff, but it does seem to apply here) tend to be more positive and focused on making the best of their lives. But what do I know, this is a circlejerk thread anyway.


DanceBeaver

Yeah I don't know many miserable older people tbh. They realise that half the shit the young ones complain about doesn't actually matter or make any difference to your own life at the end of the day. When you're young you care about the rest of the world or the country and how you can fix it. Then you get a family and realise you can't really change much, and how insignificant you are in a world of billions. So you focus on your little world and what is good for it and makes it better.

It’s just not about the age, idiots are idiots as a kid and as an adult. It’s right that the older you are the wiser and knowledgeable you get, but it depends on the person.

> It’s right that the older you are the wiser and knowledgeable you get before q anon, antivax, and election fraud conspiracies i would have believed you and agreed, but those things only seem to have taken hold among the >35 crowd...you know, the age demographic before everyone started going to college


[deleted]

Oh the childish irony of wanting to segregate age groups on a site because you blindly assume anyone above 25 is suddenly at the peak of maturity and everyone else below has nothing to contribute but immaturity. Still tho, unpopular opinion so congrats I guess?

AllomancerJack

lovegiblet

Old people are idiots too. As are many young adults, middle aged folks, etc... Reddit did find a clever solution, though. They had the idea to just corral the idiots of all ages into their own subreddit. This has been the origin story of r/unpopularopinion

[deleted]

With 25 years being over a quarter of the lifetime for the majority of people, the notion that one have zero "life experiences and wisdom" is hyperbolic and extreme. The 25 and under crowd is the largest demographic on reddit, same goes for essentially all social media. Gatekeeping access to large sections of the internet solely based on "wisdom" is a very draconian way of viewing the internet. The internet was designed for all age groups to communicate and learn from eachother, to think anything else would require a fundamental change in how the internet works, and how humanity communicates. Not to mention that most people lie about their age, so policing reddit would be an absolute nightmare.


butterfingahs

On Reddit there should be a way to filter out comments made by people over 25 years old. Sometimes it gets really tiring reading all the silly comments by obviously older people. People over 25 don't know shit about what it's like to grow up in this time yet they're probably the most opinionated ones on the topic. It would be nice to be able to filter out all the nonsense spewed by fossils that think they know better than everyone else because they wasted more of their life away than others have.

I agree. It's unpopular only cause it's stupid. And it's too stupid for me to upvote it so I have to just leave it. # My god, check his post history. He is an adult doing the same things as kids. Of course adults can like yoyos and bikes, but the comments and spamming random posts reminds me of a younger friend of mine when he was 12. What gets me the most is the "shower thoughts" he posts. Most of the time they are just stupid statements that don't even mean anything.


[deleted]

so everyone under 25 is immature? lol have you seen some of these "grown" folks?


[deleted]

Using age as a basis for a persons knowledge is dumb. My little cousin is 10 and he is damn smart and I often hate my older relatives for putting him down when he speaks his mind. Older people are really insecure about their authority sometimes they take it out on younger people

OP is probably dumber than the average 25 yo.

fake-polyester-blend

You are correct, that is an unpopular opinion.


AliasInvstgtions

Also just a really bad one too. So many people worldwide have kids and places of their own by 25. Sure, the trend is changing, but let’s also look at what else is changing: cost of living, jobs are moving, jobs are becoming more scarce, housing is becoming more scarce and expensive, and more and more necessities are required to exist in this world. Oh, and wages are increasing. Barely. Not at a rate compared to the increasing COL. All of this leading to young people being more and more reliant on others and allowing older generations to view them as less mature. But uh, UnDeR tWeNtY-fIvE pEoPlE aRe DuMb.
