• 9Gag - A funny website or a piece of trash?
    116 replies, posted
Everyone knows 9gag. They relatively start off small but when they made the site accessible through Facebook and Twitter, the site became well known. The reason why 9gag is popular is because of their user friendly system and heavy moderation due to their connection on Facebook and Twitter. Their most NSFW content are mild in comparison to the unadulterated contents seen in 4chan and reddit. The fact that anyone on Facebook can upload and comment makes is so accessible. The bad thing is that they allow their users to rip off contents from other websites such as 4chan,reddit, funnyjunk and tumblr. Some are even from popular web comics such as cynide and happiness and the oatmeal. Even worse, 9gag watermark these images as if they owns them. Sure they have some few original content but you will notice that their original content are mostly mad up of rageface comics, advice animals and de-motivator poster. So thanks to this trash website, we are now seeing a surge of rage face comics more than ever. In my opinion, 9gag is full of meme. This site is basically runs on Internet meme. Everyday, you see post that are either based on a rageface comic or a random demotivator. This site is only useful to waste your time.
Piece of Trash.
Just another content farm.
I like it. Better than reddit.
all sites like this are a terrible waste of time
anyone that likes this site non ironically needs to get off the internet and then get off life while they're at it
Obviously they're filling some people's entertainment needs, even if their methods are questionable. You can't attack their content, because some people obviously find it funny, even we don't. It's really just Ebaum's World all over again, except with images this time, and a higher supply of content.

It's awful and unfunny.
I don't mind it. It's really just an unspecified failblog type thing which has a heavy emphasis on nothing nsfw the way rage comics and advice animals are integrating themselves into common culture actually annoys me though, but that is by no means the fault of 9gag alone
Piece of trash.
Terrible.
Most of the stuff is quite crap but there are a few gems in there that aren't rage comics.
Still funnier than LMAO pics
I hate it. It clogs my news feed and life and life in general with shitty memes I stopped caring about 4 years ago
it's too self important and "HUEG EGO"
9gag users are the thing that annoys me - "hurpa durpa we r edgy n cool nyangaggers unite xD" And above all, those bodybuilder tanned rich arabs who post some forever alone-type of thing and say "my life" or something like that. Dicks.
Funny content but the community are down syndrome.
They steal content from Reddit and put a shitty watermark on it. Everyone who visits Reddit frequently knows that.
I don't like it because just like funnyjunk users steal material and call it their own.

Are you implying watermarks are funny? I don't see the logic here [editline]8th March 2012[/editline] And by the way, 50% of LMAO pics content is reposted from reddit.
It's basically /b/ for kids thinking they're cool internet pros.

Nearly everyone in the LMAO Pics thread seems to hate it, but since my sister frequents it, she keeps telling me about the same jokes that appear in LMAO Pics. I think this observation speaks for itself.
[QUOTE=Satane;35051770]imgur is better, and even that is borderline piece of shit.[/QUOTE] How is imgur terrible? I guess you're talking about the top pictures section, not the uploading part. Imgur is probably the best image hosting site available. Fast as hell, quite minimal and simple.
