My favourite subreddit used to be /r/mildlyinteresting, then came /r/interestingasfuck and /r/damnthatsinteresting and I honestly can't tell the difference between them any more.

r/conspiracy, it always had it fair share of nutjobs but it also had some awesome posts every once in a while in which someone would take a theory and break it down in points with good sources. The comments been even better, the top comment almost always was. Point 3, 4 and 7 have been disproven here, here and here, but 5 and 6 are solid further info here.
Over the years those high quality posts became less frequent and after the ban of td it fully turned into a right wing misinformation campaign with topics like the paradise papers completely ignored.
Same for me. Pizzagate made me uneasy, but the way it changed after td was banned was enough for me to unsub and never go back.
Reddit just seems like all of the subs have some kind of nefarious political agenda to them, one way or another.
r/conspiracy is right wing r/politics is left wing r/publicfreakouts is left wing r/actualpublicfreakouts is right wing
It’s just absolutely ridiculous and seems 100% designed to be that way. The whole thing just feels so fake
Reddit has clearly gone the route of TikTok and Facebook: engagement >> user experience
It’s no mystery why Reddit feels so negative these days
r/DataIsBeautiful, RIP. It was one of several -- actually, MANY -- subreddits that astounded me at first but quickly became a bore, as the quality of the posts collapsed like me without my walker. Something about the upvote/downvote system seems to encourage crap, or maybe (my increasing suspicion) the people on Reddit are now outnumbered by the bots.
Meirl really degenerated over the years. It went from being specifically "selfies of the soul" to being just a generic meme sub
It was /r/TIHI for me. It started out with genuinely bizarre and borderline disturbing things being posted, and devolved into half-baked memes and shitposts.
