ELI5 - What is Reddit and why do people waste so much time on it?
Reddit is like the ultimate forum/social media website. Imagine anything that is interesting to anyone on any particular day, and then ranked by what's most interesting—basically, the most trending topics on the internet. The average human brain finds this irresistible, and can spend hours upon hours scrolling through the heaps of useful-to-useless content. That being said, there is also of course a healthier side to Reddit, where small niche communities that wouldn't otherwise exist have found each other.
