I'm still surprised anyone still uses reddit.

Frogs in the pot. They have no idea the water's boiling. I talked to one of the few people I know who still uses it a few months ago and they were genuinely convinced their sub had a healthy mix of conservatives and moderates along with the leftists. The sub we were talking about literally has no conservative or moderate voices in it. Every thread is a circle-jerk of leftist authoritarianism and delusions that could only come from living in a fully insulated bubble.

Reddit uses a number of tricks to steer your sub towards wherever they want to. They use all kinds of shills, "reports" with all kinds of claims, the AHS crew, censors working behind the curtain so they won't get easily spotted and so on.
