    Nonsense. Most of us thought that at least 10 years ago. Reddit didn’t start going downhill hard until the 2016 US primaries, when /r/conspiracy went from semi-interesting headcannon to full on Trump worship over the span of a week. Then we realized what we were in for but it was like watching a car crash into a dumpster fire.

        The death knell of the site was when they quarantined TD and all the crazies started migrating into the other places of reddit. After it became a cult TD pulled people onto the site who had no other reason to be there. All the people long term redditors were trying to avoid by not using facebook were now all over the site
