Topic: This is what reddit thinks of bitcoin (Read 6124 times)
Reddit is the biggest shitheap on the internet if you're looking for serious discussion.
Reddit also thinks rage comics and year old 4chan memes are high brow humor
Your Reddit submission is clearly against HIVEMIND, maybe that's why.
FTFY 
Reddit is a post-apocalyptic alternative history version of Fark.com 10 years ago.
Can't even give that shit away to people who don't know about it.
The complete failure of your thread has nothing to do with bitcoin, in fact it indicates that people want the bitcoin. Of course the comments are downvoted. If you want to win the BTC you have to have the highest, and since no one is going to vote for you you need to vote everyone else down.
I polite warning would have sufficed. However, this sub-reddit is poorly moderated. There is only one moderator with a reasonable amount of comments, and his comments tend to be immature. The other "moderators" appear to be puppets. In fact, one of the moderators actually got .79 BTC from someone doing something similar to what you did.
Don't worry about it. Live and learn.
EDIT: Actually, AtlasLGo appears to be reasonable, but has not picked good co-moderators.

Either way I figured you guys would get a kick out of it. Notice the disgust and rage. People don't like bitcoin.
Completely wrong.
1. it was downvoted because the thread sucked. Plain and simple, dance your way around it if you like but that's the truth, there was only one was the thread was going to go, to one big huge cluster of begging for coins. That's not fun, I don't know about you but I don't go to reddit to read "PLEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEE" threads, I want to know about cats and their cute poses.
2. http://reddit.com/Bitcoin exists.
3. A sample size of 49 people on reddit is like walking into a school and asking the first kid "want a cookie" and get a reply "nah, it's time for class" and then run a story in the paper "GRADES OVER EATING? The rapid rise in public schools discouraging eating."
4. Again, the thread sucked.
Your Reddit submission is clearly against Reddiquette, maybe that's why. Oh, and it also encourages users to downvote the OP itself.
Wrong, I'm conducting a poll well within their guidelines.
Trying to bribe people for upvotes is going to get down-voted into oblivion, if you had even the cursory understanding of the culture of Reddit you'd have known that. Let those of us who are actually Redditors do the submitting...

Ummm there is Bitcoin subreddit? http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/
Saying that Reddit, as a whole, doesn't like Bitcoin is a bit unfounded don't you think?

reddit is not your place to experiment with, that was dumb.
Lesson learned: when money comes into play, regardless of amount, 99,99% of the people turn into complete and total assholes.
Oh great... I'm even more of an outcast than I thought. Figures I'm in a 0.01 percentile :-/
0.1 BTC sent to your signature address... (because I don't have enough for a real donation.)
What Adam said.
And BTW, in soviet reddit, posts downvote you.

I'm sorry you see it that way. However I have no problem insulting the reddit community so it's very possible that I'm doing it subconsciously.

Whatever, to me it looks more like telling them "If you dance around like idiots for 24 hours I'll give one of you $15 at the end". It's not much fun and kind of insulting to the community.

What I did isn't on that list.
It's basically equivalent to the first thing on the list, pleading for votes. Except you're trying to bribe your way to votes instead of just pleading for them. Maybe you had good intentions, to raise awareness of bitcoins, but it still looks tawdry.
What I did isn't on that list.
At the time of posting this 3 upvotes, 7 downvotes. Plus every comment in the post has been downvoted. Telling me that the smarter people are going to downvote my whole thread and everyones comments so they can post and upvote themselves using fake accounts. Can't say I'm surprised this got messy. Can't say I'm not amused either. So basically I'm giving away 1 bitcoin to the biggest scumbag. Whatever, lesson learned. It was worth it. I honestly had more respect for people. Egg on my face.
Either way I figured you guys would get a kick out of it. Notice the disgust and rage. People don't like bitcoin. I know posting this here will greatly fuck with my experiment. But for some reason I want to. Maybe I'm hoping you guys will flock to it in masses and upvote it, but that's stupid. However if that's how it happens then I'd rather one of you get it. And not some dipshit as a collective joke.

Reddit is a funny place, you definitely need to brush up on your http://www.reddit.com/help/reddiquette . I'm surprised you got away with it so lightly.
