One Week Into Reddit’s Reign by Antoinette Johnson

Reddit: [standing at a podium] “Citizens of the internet, I bring you our first decree as Head Social Media Website: Memes shall be considered a legitimate form of communication. Effective immediately[yelling from the crowd]* “Finally, someone gets it!”

TikTok: [filming a new trend] “Ugh, memes are so 2012. Let me know when you’re ready for dance challenges.”

Reddit: [ignoring TikTok] “Also, karma points will now have real-world value. You can redeem them for…uh, I don’t know yet, but we’re working on it!”

Instagram: [rolling their eyes] “Karma points? Please, I offer likes and validation in real-time.”

Twitter: [interrupting] “BREAKING: Reddit promises karma rewards but has NO PLAN. Typical!”

Reddit: [smirking] “At least I’m not spreading conspiracy theories like some platforms.”

Facebook: [pretending not to hear] “What’s that? Sorry, I was busy reminding someone about their aunt’s cat’s birthday.”


Meanwhile, in The Algorithm’s Lair

The Algorithm: [sipping coffee] “This is a disaster. Reddit’s already lost half the users to cat videos and rage posts.”

TikTok: [sneaking in] “Psst. If you want chaos, just let me take over.”

The Algorithm: [sighing] “Never. The internet isn’t ready for your reign of endless scrolling.”


Cut Back to the Platforms

Reddit: [introducing a new feature] “Today, we unveil…Dark Mode Darker™! For when regular dark mode isn’t brooding enough.”

Tumblr: [applauding sarcastically] “How groundbreaking. Next, you’ll be selling us edgy wallpapers.”

Twitter: [starting a poll] “WHO IS THE WORST HEAD SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITE? #DownWithReddit”

Instagram: [posting a glowing selfie] “Just a reminder, I’d look amazing as leader. #MissedOpportunity”

Facebook: [adding a new group] “Join ‘Bring Back Facebook’ today! We have Minions memes.”


The Algorithm: [turning off the lights] “I’m done. You’re all insufferable.”

And thus, chaos continued to reign in the digital world, proving that no matter the leader, the internet will always be…the internet.
