>>80160040It's mostly how the site is setup and how that specific setup fosters a certain kind of attitude. The fact that it's a content aggregation site makes most of the shit on there just shit you can find everywhere else. Visiting r/superheroporn or something won't give you anything you won't be able to find just browing through hentai foundry or /aco/.
Now apply that to jokes and things like that, someone who only goes on reddit ends up thinking that some content that ended up aggregated to their subreddit is a hot-off-the-presses reddit joke. /v/ is the same way about /sp/ and /tv/'s memes, which is why so many boards hate /v/.
But then the layout of the site comes in. Reddit uses an upvote system, which, for one, is exactly the opposite kind of thing that 4chan stands for with anonyminity, and for another thing, allows people who disagree with an opinion or statement to be able to directly outcast it, which doesn't lead to healthy discussion. Why give someone an actual reply when you can just downvote it? It adversely affects positive contributions to a subject as well. Why write out an actual relevant opinion on a topic when the latest shitty meme will give you the most upvotes? That mentality has been called to attention more recently with all the bait memes and the "here's your (you)" things people have been saying lately to try to get people out of that behavior.
I'm not quite sure where I was going with this, but that should cover most of the whole 4chan/reddit philosophy clashes at least.
