Why is the daily usage for CC down so much?

@Mwfan1921 Yes but most of those reddit forums are poorly moderated or not moderated at all. There is a huge amount o f misinformation and bad advice there. I am pretty sure that when an applicant makes a mistake the college is not going to accept the excuse “Someone on reddit told me to do it this way.”

Also redditers can vote down a comment they don’t like until it is not seen. So honest, accurate advice (like UCLA is worth $100,000 in debt for a humanities degree) that students don’t like will disappear.

I agree reddit has issues. But, in spite of those downsides, more students (it seems) have chosen to use Reddit rather than CC.

To paraphrase Jack Nicholson “Some people can’t handle the truth”.
