I feel like a lot of subs go that route. Childfree used to be about life without having kids. Over time, it turned into a karma farm for whoever hated children the most. The incels and fph subs were also way less toxic once upon a time.

The upvotes sort of create competition for who can be the most vocally opposed to something and slowly the bar slides further up. It seems to concentrate the most vicious users and drum out the moderates.
