I had a chance to take a look at your reddit profile.. I couldn't help but to see the negativity you manage to spew...
Some examples, just from the last 25 comments:
1.
It's basically just a blogspam site though, right?
2.
Does the website normally look like a shitty blog or is there something wrong with it from the reddit traffic?
Also, why not just go to goodreads and look at what they rank the top 20 quotes as?
Either way, it's not your fault - thank you for compiling the quotes from a blog that compiled the quotes from a social media site that compiles quotes from books people read. You saved me some time.

This is what we call blogspam.

So this is reddit now? Plagiarizing sloppy blogspam buzzfeed articles?
I'm out.
Taken from some of the most recent comments. Full reddit comment history here.
Whats up with all the negativity, why not let people just enjoy the site and the moment. Why try and ruin it for people?
Yes, over the last week, there were 4 different times that I called people out for blogspam. It's something that really bothers me, that is happening all over the place, and that I'm trying to prevent there from being more of.
If I'm going to give this site a chance, which I probably won't after this strange call-out, I would prefer if there were a certain level of integrity that did not include self-congratulatory postings of mashable articles written about AskReddit posts.
I personally thought it was great, and figured I should share it with the rest of the community. Of course I'm going to defend my actions.
This place never got anything even close to a mention of this magnitude, especially from such a prominent place like reddit. To have people coming on here and and downright accusing me of blog spam is uncalled for. Yes, I'm a power user, and yes I love this place... but lets be serious, why would you even care? This place isn't even on your radar, so why come on here and call my intentions illegitimate. Everyone should have the right to enjoy some positive feedback every now and then, and my goal was to share it with this community.
Who are you to judge me? Go back to reddit and enjoy what you have going there, why come on here for the soul reason of "trying to stop blog spam"... btw, welcome to snapzu, wish you gave this place a chance, and most importantly actually contributed instead of just being negative.
Look I'm not trying to be that difficult. Let's just take back what I said and move forward.
It seems like we have different definitions of blogspam. That's all. I should have called it a "listicle." It's cool that it's been mentioned on reddit and obviously it brought people, like me, here. I think the important thing that you could take from this is that perhaps you overreacted by resorting to attempting to embarrass me just because I interpreted an article as not being "legit." The important thing I should take is that some of my contributions are interpreted as being negative and that I should try to have a more positive presence and then perhaps sneak constructive criticism as necessary.
Hey, I'm over it. Glad you came back and hope you stick around. If anything we need more peeps like you, you sound like a good guy that just made the wrong entrance.
Dude, no offense but why would you care if there's a self-congratulatory post anyway? Integrity would involve being proud would it not? Your retort seems uppity. And that's lame in my books.

Well, it's extremely strange for you to do that.

Haha. Good way to put it! I came in guns blazing when I should have been like "oh, this place is cool."
Anyway I just submitted my first Snap. Let's see how it goes from here.
OK boys time for a hug!
