When I joined reddit it was well over ten years ago, and the reason I joined was because I searched the net for something and got quite a few answers from there.

I then looked up certain things there but over a bit of time, probably a few weeks or so. Then I decided to join it. (Then it went to shit, the app debacle happened and I left).
Anyways the only reason I joined was because the info/entertainment was easily attainable. If I were forced to join or login all those years ago then I would've just moved on.
Christ, most random websites get instantly dismissed if I feel like I'm being forced to join it.

same here, but apparently i joined earlier because i unknowingly made a account on reddit from a nintendo game i was playing. but i truley joined in 2016,
