5 Reasons Why You'll Love Using Discuss

Being a petrolhead isn’t as easy as it sounds. We want to see the latest car-related videos, read the latest news, and have a thirst for knowledge that’s as unquenchable as an RX-8’s oil habit. To satisfy our hunger for car content, then, we often have to visit dozens of websites and channels, which often involves countless usernames and passwords and, more recently, subscriptions that we have to pay for…ain’t nobody got time for that!

That’s where Discuss comes in. Instead of spending valuable time stalking the internet for fresh content, Discuss will feature the best bits from every corner of the motoring world in one space. Why? Because you guys will have uploaded it onto Discuss to share with the entire CT community. Here are five reasons why you should start using Discuss…

1. Discuss is already winning the internet

Despite being new to CT, Discuss has already attracted 1.5 million unique users per month, resulting in thousands of awesome uploads and tens of thousands of comments. You can also upvote and comment on a fellow Discuss user’s post, which will ensure that Discuss’ Hottest Feed is always populated with top-quality content!

2. Quality content gets you serious kudos

If you want to embed a video, ask a question or if you simply want to upload a GIF with a funny caption, you can do it all in Discuss. We see everything that gets posted by you, and by linking our (and your) favorite content on Discuss, we create a gold mine for awesome automotive content. As you can see above, the Hottest feed reveals all sorts of popular (and sometimes extremely random) videos from every corner of the interweb. Depending on your mood, you can also filter content by content type; videos, memes, GIFs, questions, news or images…Discuss is your oyster!

3. Yo dawg, we heard you like notifications...

Popular discussions attract hundreds of comments for weeks on end, and whenever someone replies to your post or comment, you’ll get a notification to make sure you’re always in the loop. Some discussions are so popular in fact, that we regularly promote them on Facebook to well over 2m people. No pressure, then!

4. Discuss is quick, easy and rewarding to use

Discuss is packed with great features to make your browsing experience as smooth and as rich as possible. Logging in is simple with Facebook and you can create your very own profile in seconds; think of it as your very own mini-site on Car Throttle where you can see all of your activity (comments, upvotes, social links). Whenever someone leaves you a comment, you instantly get a notification in the top right corner.

If you see something cool on Discuss and want to know a little bit about the person who uploaded it (#notstalking), simply hover your mouse over the person’s username and get #notstalking. We’ve also introduced a cool ‘score’ feature, which shows how many upvotes you’ve received since joining the platform; the race is on!

5. This is just the beginning!

Discuss is technically still in ‘beta’ phase. There are hundreds of new features lined up, including the ability to add polls, quizzes, galleries and even to write your own blog entries. We’re also planning on introducing communities. This will not only become useful in satisfying your super-specific content needs, but it will also allow you to create your own community for your local car crew. We can’t wait to see how you’ll use the new features!
