Further to point 2 "Wholesome" almost all of the so-called wholesome memes now feature blacks. 17% of the population but 100% of the decent, everyday people like you and me, regular job holding folks. The propaganda is so blatant but Reddit is so deeply down the circle jerk hole of wokeness that all it does is make the place more smug and self satisfied. And don't get me started on BLM.

One of the most upvoted posts in the last month is literally "my mixed race friends just got married". Like ok, good for them, but why does this have 150k upvotes?

That line of thinking just further spreads racism. Instead of celebrating two humans bonding together, they celebrate they can bond in spite of having different skin colors, which is frankly idiotic.

Honestly, Reddit was a giant goddamn circlejerk even before PC Culture came in and started policing what they see as wrongthink. Even then, the smaller subs were always the way to go. Then after Aaron passed away, Reddit became a corporation, and they brought in Ellen Pao, shit started going downhill. Around 2009-2012, if you saw political content make it to the frontpage of a non-political sub, the top comment would usually be "Looks like /r/politics is leaking again" and/or critical of said political content being upvoted. Nowadays /r/politics hasn't just leaked, it's flooded the entire website and no one seems to care anymore.

I'm now frequenting both Saidit and Ruqqus a lot more now. I'm not against political content, but keep it in the political subs. It's annoying when I just wanna browse memes and all I see is "fUcK tRuMp!1!" or "cUcKeD aGaIn LiBz!!!1".

Another thing is Reddit is now banning people without warning for upvoting posts they don't think you should upvote. That is way too far in my opinion. It's only a matter of time before they ban you for agreeing with someone who happened to post in /r/The_Donald even if the comment has nothing to do with him.

The same shit that happened to Digg is destroying Reddit. I feel like it might just be an inevitable cycle at this point. Fark --> Slashdot --> Digg --> Reddit and so on

Also, an obligatory fuck /u/spez

My favorite is the r/pics posts of 'We just got engaged!' These have been a cancerous staple of Reddit for a while, but for the past year or so it's literally either interracial or gay EVERY SINGLE TIME! These posts have always been unproductive and cringy, but the recent ones have the added bane of forced 'diversity' behind them.
