    It was bought by tencent and turned into a Communist/Globalist propaganda machine. Kids did not do that to Reddit.

    But they're naive enough to amplify the signal.

    Yes, kids are the targets of brainwashing because their brains are easy to manipulate.

    Eternal September has been a problem on the internet for decades.

    On the plus side, most people now have been exposed to a forum before, so it's more now a problem of migrating cultures, rather than people just learning what a forum is for the first time. Which was the case for the the usenet September 1993 example that created the phrase "Eternal September" after AOL came in to existence and flooded usenet.

    Now it's people who have forum experience migrating to other forums. Which has positives and negatives. People are more sophisticated in their understandings of forums in general, but also some people bring bad habits from other low-quality forums.

    That's the problem with every social media website. Adults have jobs, families and other responsibilities that keep them from "hanging out" online all day. Kids on the other hand, have more time than they know what to do with. Especially over the last few months.

    And so do NEETs. Just sitting in their momma's basement with their cat ears on smashing "uwu, choke terfs" all day.

    And today I learned what a "NEET" is. Kind of like what we in the US call a "welfare queen".

    Reddit is shills leading children around like a literal pied-piper culture. The more clearly I see this, the more disturbing it becomes.

    The biggest problem is that many of them don't disclose this. That or they are adults and they are clueless about reality. It happens.

    Nah, I can't remember his name, but that lunatic boomer who comments on literally EVERY SINGLE TRUMP TWEET is also a an r/politics user. He's somehow even worse than average for that sub, since he inflects the standard anti-Trump lunacy with condescending boomer sage 'wisdom' on us youngins.
