I'll never forget what a disappointment /r/centuryclub was. I used reddit since 2008 and five or six years ago I finally got enough karma to join the private sub for long time redditors (needed 100k karma, which used to take a long time). The sub turned out to be 100% SJW TDS whackjobs. Someone misquoted Trump, so I pointed it out. Wasn't argumentative at first or anything, I just pointed out that what they're saying he said wasn't what he said. The user got offended, and several others joined in attacking me. It ended up being like a 3 day argument of me vs the entire sub, wound up spreading to other subs, before they just gave up and banned me. They were hostile as fuck, I just stuck to the original claim and it drove them insane.

A few years later, the entire site seemed to have become that demographic. Probably from normal people getting tired of being harassed and ultimately banned for having disagreed from the sub, especially in subs that are supposedly apolitical.
