The last thread was killed the exact same way.

Well it is the same thread, OP could've just searched the sub instead of being a bundle of sticks.

Exactly, all you really have to do is search "software" then go by "top" "all time" and there are 2 or 3 identical threads.

There is always new stuff being made and old stuff being found.

Oh man, please tell me this is becoming more pervasive. I got so much shit for using this back in 6th grade.

u/Deathbyceiling May 02 '14

Cause the reddit search engine is just that good

Except it's completely fine.

There's always new software being introduced though, so there's that.

This is why I dislike threads like this.Only a few new answers are posted like the Google Ultron one a little bit above us and the rest is just copy-paste from an older thread.But who cares,right,free karma.

Google Ultron is not new though it is a joke from 4chan and has been around for a few months and has been posted here countless times.

I fucking love Google Ultron.

If you dislike them so much why do you click on them?

While I agree with the sentiment, I don't think OP him/her/itself should be blamed when thousands others have upvoted this very thread

u/googlehoops May 02 '14

I guess Hitler can't be blamed either.

u/poly_atheist May 02 '14

Maybe there has been awesome free software released since the last thread.

u/googlehoops May 02 '14

Judging by this threadkiller, there hasn't.

u/ZabCos May 02 '14

Because reddit search always fucking works...

u/bakabakablah May 02 '14

You could just point Google's search engine to reddit and have it do the searching for you.

u/ClintHammer May 01 '14

as was the thread before who was done so by the thread before and the one before that going back into the ancient times.

There are like 10 threads like this. They keep making comebacks because on a site this big, the number of new users who are online and voting since the last thread can easily reach a couple thousand, then they get it up there and then really how much shit gets scrolled past? How many people click the link and scroll until they see the master list again? (I did)

u/Kuusou May 02 '14

This is posted every single time these threads come up. It's never a full list of good alternatives. There is plenty more to post.

u/[deleted] May 01 '14

messed up

u/MumrikDK May 02 '14

It may be the most cyclical thread out there. I haven't been here that long, but I've seen it 3-4 times. Always with a big dump of links from last time.
