/u/sierrakilobravo just spams because he's promoting his youtube channel, which is actually pretty good.

Thanks (I think). Coincidentally I decided yesterday to no longer post here because there seems to be little interest in original user created content. Since the last one or two influxes of users Reddit, the front page is a dumpster fire, and even innocuous sounding topics only take minutes to devolve into the same old arguments. I joined up around two years ago and I’m sad to say, it ain’t what it used to be.

sadly agreed, it's an echo of that old cycle, of the death of the old internet in the face of waves of migrants looking for a new refuge.
old antiextremes was comfy as hell, now everything's political, though I blame the politicization of every aspect of society rather than saidit or any other single website.

Self promotion is allowed now?

If it's interesting content, why not? Post something, if it gets votes people look at it, if it's shit it gets thrown into the back pages. Let users decide with their eyes and their clicks. If it isn't content and its just an ad then I understand taking it down, but posting OC should be roundly encouraged, it's what sites like this run on. If I post a meme I make, surely this isn't "self-promotion"?

Self promotion was always allowed. /s/ads was always available for anyone with ads - it's the only place where random ads are okay. There have also been vanity subs named after their user.

I don't see how bloviating about political ideas is any different than promoting anything else - ideas, products, services, dogmas, peace, etc.
