It's reddit so none are actually good, but some are worse than others. If I had to pick a nomination, I'd cheat and pick the constellation of rape reddits, and if I had to get specific I'd say it's a tie between these two (note the bits flagged in red):

I'm sure there are some animal or child abuse ones still floating around, but I am blissfully unaware of them.

Maybe I've just had too much chartreuse to drink tonight, but I dunno, this one's kinda wholesome and adorable (especially in contrast to the disgusting shit I wrote about above).

There's a plant in my family that my grandma had from when she was a young woman, and she propagated it when she got old and gave the split-off baby plants to her daughters. It's outlived her, and will likely outlive them, too. Someday they'll be mine.

Had a weird issue with my switch (randomly turnings itself on for no reason) so googled the question, couple of top results are reddit links. Every fucking response is some variation of the same "the AI is alive" joke and no one is even trying to answer the actual question

The RainbowHigh subreddit is back at it with cultural representation.
Every so often someone mentions wanting a Hijabi doll in the series. Rainbow High dolls don't dress in outfits that Muslims would consider appropriate.

The latest post is someone wanting a Pakistani Hijabi doll, but they really mean just a brown-skinned doll with a pretty scarf.
I commented that the toy company that makes RH dolls don't have a history of putting dolls in outfits that would be appropriate to Muslims, and that dressing a Muslim doll in outfits that are immodest by Muslim modesty rules would be offensive to Muslims.
Got downvoted.

lmao someone found out that reddit downloads every video at every quality in the background while you scroll the site which really eats up bandwidth

View attachment 3396055

:story:

Video guy is mostly wrong. Reddit uses Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) and only downloads a little bit of the video as you scroll past it. The "multiple resolutions" are the different qualities that DASH is fetching as it measures how much bandwidth you have, and they aren't the entire video. They immediately stop requesting more segments once the video is paused or scrolled out of view, but requests that are already out get responded to (which is why the downloads continue for a little bit after the super speed scroll).

The only reason reddit is using that much bandwidth is because he stopped on a video (which caused more of it to be buffered) and because he is scrolling incredibly fast, which loads the first little bit of a lot of different videos. To be fair to him, if you spent enough time browsing Reddit you would use the same bandwidth as the test, but I'd assume that someone doing that would actually want to watch the videos, even if just to see if they are interested in them.

Autoplaying video is the cause of the bandwidth usage and all implementations of it suffer the same issue once playback starts, not just Reddit's. The Twitter test isn't fair because the Reddit feed had a lot more videos (note the large number of jpegs in the Twitter request log), he scrolled for more time on Reddit, and Twitter's video quality is always garbage.

For a good implementation, YouTube is a better example than Twitter. YouTube has "autoplay", but it isn't quite the same feature. On desktop, autoplay doesn't happen unless you hover over the video for a little while, and a short GIF with only a few frames is downloaded instead of the video. On mobile, they play the whole video, similar to Reddit, but just like on YouTube desktop, you have to pause for a little while (longer than on desktop) before the video starts playing. Adding a longer delay before playing the video and fetching at most a video the size of the player are really the only two ways that Reddit could improve.

Here's a reddit video request (edited for privacy and brevity):
1655445838622.png
See the Range header? It describes which group of bytes from the video file that the server should return.
The server respects it, and returned 80 bytes (see the Content-Length response header (863 - 784 = 79, but the range is inclusive which gives back the extra byte)). The Content-Range header also matches the requested range.
Also, status code 206 is Partial Content, which further hints as to what Reddit is doing:
The HTTP 206 Partial Content success status response code indicates that the request has succeeded and the body contains the requested ranges of data, as described in the Range header of the request.

If there is only one range, the Content-Type of the whole response is set to the type of the document, and a Content-Range is provided.

The reason why the whole video plays when he double clicks on it is because he is downloading the entire video at that resolution because Chrome isn't sending the range header when downloading the https://v.redd.it/KEY/DASH_RES.mp4 file through Dev Tools.

He's also wrong about what m4s is. It is not a better compressed video than mp4; it's the same thing! m4sis a segment of an mp4, but the extension doesn't matter as its not a file saved to disk, and Reddit's mp4s are actually functionally m4ses due to the range header.

One guy on Reddit noticed the same thing as me (comment 1, comment 2, comment 3, comment 4), but everyone else in that thread believes the video. Arlios (the video creator, aka /u/TheChowderOfClams), replied to two of those comments with the same comment where he doubled down with his wrong explanation:
1655446369600.png
The only thing true in Arlios' comment is that Reddit still loads the first segment of a video when autoplay is disabled and you scroll past it, which they probably shouldn't do until you click play. For me, https://new.reddit.com/r/all with five videos on the initial page load and autoplay disabled transfers 12.3 MB with a clean cache of which 5.3 MB are the videos, or ~1 MB per video. If you have less bandwidth, the amount per video would be less because DASH would not pick the highest possible resolution (and when I limited my bandwidth to "Slow 3G" using Dev Tools, Reddit only requested 480p at most). If you have visited Reddit before and have a hot cache, the non-video part drops to ~1.3 MB.

Sorry for the effort post, but it really annoys me when someone makes a smug video without knowing the first thing about what they are talking about. I have my own opinions on the quality of Reddit's engineers (like the fact that Facebook had to optimize Reddit's mobile website for them because it was making React look bad), but they are smarter than the creator of the video.

I've seen the exact phenomena you describe played out in multiple reddit threads on multiple topics. Whatever makes the normal person say "nah I shouldn't make an 'arrow to the knee' joke here that would be cringe", it's totally absent in redditors. It seems like reddit really is the end result of a loop of endless affirmation. What happens when kids are forced to be kind to one another for the sake of it and tolerate the oblivious speds of the world. They grow up totally unaware of what massive faggots they are and everyone else suffers as a result, only reddit is built from the ground up to accommodate those speds. Which would normally be fine, except it's telling those speds to be as loud, obnoxious and inimical to social cohesion as possible, and anyone that tells you no is just a mean bigoted Trump-voting bullyjerk! It's amazing that even with Chris-chan reaching visibility to normies, so many fail to absorb the one critical takeaway from the entire story. The singular overarching theme that's present from the first VHS tape all the way down to the Motherfucking Saga.

Remember kids. Early. And often.

"many cis guys say they can't tell the difference between a trans woman's healed vagina and a cis woman's" "Most guys don't care enough to notice"
I guess you may as well make up insane lies like this if you're already saying men can be women.
