When they started artificially boosting and suppressing submissions to “amplify marginalized voices.” Pictures, videos and stories that show black people in a positive light are artificially boosted to the front page, as are those that show white people as foolish or trashy. This was also the same time they created and artificially boosted subs like /r/whitepeopletwitter, /r/whitepeoplegifs etc. while large subs that mainly catered to white male tastes like /r/malefashionadvice were never seen on the front page again. My biggest regret is that I didn’t start screenshotting and documenting all this stuff in 2017. I’m hoping for a whistleblower or at least a journalist willing to investigate this phenomena.

Reddit’s culture was killed overnight. This is also the reason that culture at large is so bland and toxic right now.
