I have to say that the thing that sucked me into Reddit was the hilarity that always came of travelling to AskReddit. Finally, I made an account on New Year's day, 2013, and made a post a few weeks later asking, "What's the creepiest thing you can say in someone's ear while hugging them?", and it got decently big. From then on out, I stuck to it. I lurked for years though, before making an account. First time I went on was June-ish of 2011--a friend introduced me to it, but I didn't understand it much, and I only went on for a few subreddits at first.
