The Power of Sharing on Reddit


Are you sharing articles on this social site?

Above is one of my posts on Reddit. As you can see, it has over 35k views and 369 more upvotes than downvotes. It also has 53 shares.

This is in a subreddit community called Oregon. It has 168k members.

Not all of my posts to this subreddit do this well, but this shows the potential Reddit offers.

This link share is from a NewsBreak article and I have noticed traffic coming to the articles when I post here. I write mostly about local news in Oregon.

My experience at Reddit hasn’t always been so beneficial. For most of the nine years I’ve been there I gained no traction and my posts to subreddits were almost always removed for some reason.

I began to think Reddit was a puzzle I couldn’t figure out. Nevertheless, I kept trying and finally found some subreddits that work.

The key is to find a subreddit, read all the directions for posting, and then once find one that doesn’t remove your link, you now have a good place to share content on that specific topic.

I also share on a Medium subreddit:



It only has 1.1k members, yet I still got 50 views and 3 upvotes for this post.

Just thought I would share how powerful Reddit can be. No wonder, as it is ranked 14 in the world according to Alexa’s website rankings. Don’t give up if a subreddit removes your link, either try to figure out why or find another place to post.

Opinion: Most communities in Oregon and the US are Republican, yet Democrats are in charge

2022 Oregon Governor Election Photo  Assuming election results are valid in Oregon, which does take a lot of faith these days after the questions about the 2020 US Presidential election arose, Democrat Tina Kotek won the Governor’s race in 2022 by a slim margin over Republican Christine Drazan. The interesting aspect of this win is how many of Oregon’s 36 counties voted Republican vs. Democrat. Looking at the political map, almost the entire state is red with only a few small counties in the northwest having the blue color. Specifically, there were 7 counties that voted Democrat and 29 that voted Republican. The difference is the 7 counties voting blue are the most populous counties, also the counties with the most residents coming from other states – much like Tina Kotek herself, a transplant from Pennsylvania . Tina only won the campaign to be Oregon’s 39th Governor by 66,727 votes over Christine Drazan. Said in another way, the Democrats pulled off another close election with m...

Rocky (1976) Movie Review

Duncan Chen/ Flickr One of the best movies of all time. The Genuine Approach It’s hard to believe this iconic American movie was created 50 years ago in 1976, three years before I was even born. It is also hard to believe how well the movie has stood the test of time as one of the best American movies ever made. The entire  Rocky  series of movies, including 6 movies directly about Rocky Balboa (not counting the two  Creed  movies which have him as a secondary character), are amazing movies that inspire the viewer and represent the American dream of working our way up from the bottom to become a success. Although the subsequent  Rocky  movies are great in their own right, none of them compare to the original  Rocky  movie. What makes the original  Rocky  movie one of the best of all time isn’t one thing, rather it is a culmination of a myriad of factors that combined at the right time to give us a genuine, humble, and ever-relatable stor...

Houses Aren’t For the Average American

  Most Americans are priced out of owning a house. The powers to be in their infinite wisdom and social engineering manipulations have deemed the vast majority of Americans as unworthy of owning a house.  You can live in a rented apartment or house, yet forget about buying a home, even one that is nearly 100 years old.  Here is the pecking order of living standards as an adult: Live with parents Homeless in bushes Homeless in car Homeless in RV Live in RV in an RV park with utilities Live in a house with others sharing a bathroom and kitchen Live in a quint or quad and share kitchen and bathroom Live in a quint or quad and share kitchen, have own bathroom Live in a studio apartment with own bathroom and kitchen Live in a one-bedroom apartment Live in a two or three-bedroom apartment Live in a rented house Live in a house you are buying Live in a house you own (except for property taxes and eminent domain laws) These cover most of the levels of living arrangements, yet not...
