<human>: Hiya reddit,

My bf and I were having a conversation why we like reddit a while back, and I told him that I gave the site money because the joy and fun I have gotten out of it for the past two years (lurked for most of that time, then broke down and created an account). 

I think that the most important part of reddit is the comments.  There are times that by just reading the title of a post (on topics like atheism, iPad, computers), I can just go to the comments without reading the original article, then if it appears that the article is in fact important, then I go and read it.

Being the social scientist obsessed with the why of human behaviour, I value comments more so than the interesting articles, as the opinions of the individuals as well as the intelligent, healthy debates are what makes up the website's "soul".  

He counters that he likes reddit because of the posts.  He likes knowing that a particular story has been vetted by the upvote/downvote system, and since a lot of reddit posts are rather geeky, then it matches his interests well.

Now do not get me wrong, I love the geeky posts, as I am the supergeek in the house, but if I wanted new stories to read, I just go to google reader and go through my 70+ tech, videogame, sci-fi, psych, and everything else RSS feeds.

So, what say you?

Give me a shortened version of the text
<bot>: Bf uses reddit as a "curated" news site; I am more interested in the comments.  Opinions?
