Whoever wrote this article must’ve just got on Reddit.

Any device or software that allows people to communicate is going to be used for hook-ups. It's etched into the machine code at the heart of the internet.

Hey maybe let's not vilify the nsfw subs that are doing nothing wrong. The anti adult content trend recently is really disturbing and is pushing the culture war in the states trying to outright ban porn.

Man spez getting really desperate

This is basically an ad saying "if you want to get laid visit reddit." Honestly reddit probably suggested it. They're going to coin the phrase "reddit and chill."

Those hookups are full of scams and cops.

Ask me how I know.

Years ago, I had some success with these subreddits. In recent years, not so much. IF you could meet the various requirements to post, you would be flooded with some combination of OnlyFans accounts, literal scam attempts, and/or occasional actual prostitutes. But mostly the first two. More than one girl I reached out to had a long list of rules for guys who wanted to message her. Just a whole bunch of bullshit. And the "local" subreddits are 99.99999% spam accounts.

You all were hooking up?

I thought those were people pushing OF content. Or if it was happening, it was only in really big cities.

It’s been a hookup app for a long time now.

And I bet most of it is fake/bots or shilling for an Onlyfans account.

thanks, I hate it

If Reddit gets seized and shutdown due to solication under FOSTA-SESTA I will laugh

To be fair, reddit for me was always about getting to know like-minded people. And I met my wife through the 40+redditor seeks redditor group so if that's what it is I'm fine with it. Not in the least as I left that toxic waste dump with the exodus and have not missed 95% of it. (Yes, I miss /r/AskHistorians but I am strong, if I allow myself one subredit it will suck me back in so clean break is for the best).

These are confusing times, but I am glad I moved

Those subreddits are trash. If you're from US, everything can be either easy or difficult. But if you're from another country, don't bother. US-centrism is a real pain.

The new tinder

Always has been

My wife and I met on r4r, but the post was looking for friendship, and that eventually led to us dating two years later.

No kidding. I started to receive messages from reddit mods (not the user, but actually coming as "from /r/subname mods", with phishing/scam links.

I tried dating subreddits before. Results were not good.

The problem is that online dating is a miserable experience from a heterosexual perspective. I cannot really speak for the LGBTQ experience but I do have a lesbian friend who has pretty much been undateable.

On every dating/hook-up subreddit every single "M4F" post gets mass-downvoted and practically hidden from view, while every "F4M" post is swarmed with desperate and thirsty guys whose comments can be summed up in just five words: "PLEASE HAVE SEX WITH ME." You see the same shit on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Happn, Okcupid, POF and every other dating app.

Women can easily swipe right on any guy and 99,999 times out of 100,000 match with them, meet up with them and bang them in less than two hours if they wanted to. Men on the other hand get zero matches unless you look like a fucking Chippendale, are over 6ft, have a big dick, have a nice bank account and a decent job.

The internet has turned us hypergamous, and we wonder why the incel community is growing at an alarming rate...
