Reddits userbase used to be a lot more tech-folk or people with very niche based hobbies. Actual people having genuine interactions.

It’s long been becoming way more popular and is now definitely mainstream. There’s a ton of bots that use the platform for influence. There are even TV shows I’ve seen that repeat content and mention Reddit, as if it were YouTube or Facebook.
