Insights

The scope of content on Reddit is enormous. Many subreddits are family-friendly; however, others contain adult content that is not appropriate for children. All Reddit users are anonymous, with only a username and no profile photo. This anonymity can make some users feel safer, but can also create an environment that allows for bad online behavior free from real-life consequences.
