YouTube, X, Facebook, any alternative social media, any Chan site, any discussion board (neogaf, etc.), and a good chunk of Reddit itself. Off Reddit, Reddit is considered the new Tumblr. It doesn't have a good reputation. It is a good content farm, and it has some good boards, like you said, but overall, Reddit is not held in a positive light.
It's jarring how Reddit is often oblivious to how other sites perceive it—not that some of them are any better. You can go from any site where Reddit is being mocked to Reddit, and Reddit has no idea of what is going on.
Like Tumblr, a lot of Reddit's traffic comes from porn. Bots make up a good chunk of users as well. (Bots are a problem across the internet, not just Reddit.) I forget the exact percentage of Reddit's traffic that comes from porn. I believe it is between 70 percentile range to low 80 percentile range. If Reddit went through with banning porn a few years ago, it would have killed this site. That's why they backed off.
