The state of certain subreddits was abysmal. Damnthatsinteresting, mildlyinteresting and all the others were just the same thing reposted and crossposted.

Mildly interesting was literally just ads. "My Cheerios™ box contained even more Cheerios™ than it was supposed to!"

I remember that and your correct. Same for interestingasfuck would have a crosspost from mildly interesting. The subs should of been far apart on content.

Yeah, they could have been one single sub, and I still wouldn't have noticed any difference. Ohh well, let's hope this time it will be different.

Don't forget r/wtf

There was no wtf content in there, unless wtf was actually meant to be "wow that's fun" or "wow that's fascinating".
