Reddit easy to navigate interface, multiple comments from many many different people all providing their own opinion and stories ect, an endless supply of topics ect ect ect
where as an article typically tackles one subject and goes on and on which can get boring and is written by a journalist who is paid to write. I feel a little more connected when reading reddit threads because I had the sense that these are just normal people not someone who's been paid to sell an article
Reddit = more stimulating many topics many people inputting comments ranging from a few words to many words
Article = one topic usually and consists of paragraphs
