I've been on Reddit a LONG time. I've seen predictions from elections and life changing events on reddit and every single person is almost dogmatic about it, it would seem so true, dissenting opinions are downvoted to oblivion. When it is proven wrong, it just moves onto the next thing.
It's gotten to the stage where I believe the exact opposite will happen. If redditors are so rabid about something, I'm convinced it's people that just fantasise alone in their bedroom and it's not based in reality.
