2. Purpose of reddit 1
 Reddit acts as a digital newspaper that can be
tailored to your specific interests.
 Users of reddit vote on user-submitted links with
either upvotes or downvotes. The links with the
highest amount of upvotes are featured on the front
page, where other highly upvoted content can be
found.
 With over 400,000 forum pages called subreddits, you
can customize the outcome of the front page with the
subreddits you subscribe to.

4. Popular Features 3
 reddit.tv
 reddit.tv is a more convenient way of browsing the
videos posted on the videos subreddit.
 It allows the user to switch between posted videos as
if switching through channels on a television.

5. Popular Features 4
 reddit Gold
 reddit Gold is a feature that doesn’t really do much
other than put a little golden star icon next to your
username for a certain amount of time.
 Users that obtain reddit Gold have access to an
otherwise private subreddit for that duration of time
that they have Gold.

6. Popular Features 5
 reddit Gift Exchange
 reddit Gift Exchange is basically as the title says.
Users may sign up to exchange gifts online with other
users.
 There are special occasions during holidays such as
secret santa, where it’s just a themed gift exchange.
 There is also gift giving, such as gifts for teachers
during the months of going back to school where
users can help out teachers with supplies they need.

7. Intended Audiences 6
 reddit doesn’t really have a goal audience that it
caters to because of its wide user base.
 While the whole site doesn’t have a goal audience,
there are certain subreddits that have content
specifically for children, teenagers, adults, and so on.

8. How is it Social Media? 7
 What makes reddit a social media is the comments
section for every post.
 Users can post thoughts about the link and just talk
about anything really.

9. Why would you care? 8
 Users who post quality links or images will gather
points known as karma.
 If you want to have a lot of karma, you would
probably care about reddit enough to be on there
frequently.

10. Why would you use it? 9
 Other than those reasons, you can just go on reddit
for the sake of going on reddit.
Reasons to use reddit

11. What are the uses? 10
 The main uses of reddit are posting links and voting
and/or commenting on links.
 You can give other users reddit Gold and message
them too.
 You can do anything through links and the comments
section, within the rules of the site and each specific
subreddit.

12. Would I use it? 11
 Definitely.
 I’d use it whenever I have nothing else to do and
want to pass the time or kill an hour or two.

13. C.R.A.P. 12
 I used the C.R.A.P. guidelines when choosing my
theme for the PowerPoint.
 Contrast was used when selecting the font colors in
order to make them pop out of the background color.
 Repetition was used when repeating the reddit avatar
at the top left of each slide.
 Alignment was used when aligning each line of text to
the left.
 Proximity was used when my information was
presented in the first slide.
