I understand... The yoga I do daily is low-key and seldom break a sweat but it's had good results.

Couldn't get any sound with that vid, but I got the jest of it OK.

A media sharing site? I'm assuming. I see it a lot on the web, probably here actually, but elsewhere I never click to go there.
Yea, kinda. It's actually made a huge hit on forums. Anyone, including you and me can create a subreddit on the platform on just about any legal subject desired. Maybe it's arboriculture, funny stuff, politics, whatever... It's probably most typically used for link sharing, and people can comment on the links, and vote them up or down. Upvoted posts can hit the reddit front page if popular enough.
The problem is the community is generally shit. You get circlejerks of voting if something doesn't agree with the "hivemind", and it's all pseudonymous, so you don't get a good feel for the various participants. There isn't any limit to the number of accounts an individual can have, and people come and go. It isn't "homey" like a traditional forum. It also has a terribad interface. Using a (cr)app on a phone is probably the best way to use it, and I *hate* using a dedicated program to access something that a browser is made for. There's browser addons that make it a bit better, but it still isn't great. It's not a "historical" platform that makes it easy to go back and recover knowledge. It's pretty much just a constant stream of new stuff that stays for a couple days, and is gone forever for all intents and purposes.
I use it mainly to get news on subjects I'm interested in(mainly tech), and look at some funny and/or interesting pictures. I don't participate much.

Thanks for the description. Sounds a bit like facebook to me. My wife is a guru on that thing. Funny, I created a page in FB back when it first started and I have never made a post since.
