Reddit

A digital hive of anonymous opinion-mongers who mistake upvotes for wisdom. The self-proclaimed "front page of the internet" where keyboard warriors gather to pontificate on matters they know little about, downvote inconvenient truths, and create echo chambers that make newspaper letter writers seem balanced and informed by comparison. A place where genuine expertise is routinely dismissed in favor of popular consensus, where moderators wield arbitrary power, and where the r/newzealand subreddit particularly excels at promoting a predictable blend of political groupthink, housing hysteria, and ritualistic outrage.
