At first it was all about presenting data in an original looking way. In the end it was about pushing political ideas in your throat using a plain bar graph. It was not about sharing something interesting you found but about taking advantage of a captive audience.

r/conspiracy, it always had it fair share of nutjobs but it also had some awesome posts every once in a while in which someone would take a theory and break it down in points with good sources. The comments been even better, the top comment almost always was. Point 3, 4 and 7 have been disproven here, here and here, but 5 and 6 are solid further info here.

Over the years those high quality posts became less frequent and after the ban of td it fully turned into a right wing misinformation campaign with topics like the paradise papers completely ignored.

Same for me. Pizzagate made me uneasy, but the way it changed after td was banned was enough for me to unsub and never go back.

Reddit just seems like all of the subs have some kind of nefarious political agenda to them, one way or another.

r/conspiracy is right wing r/politics is left wing r/publicfreakouts is left wing r/actualpublicfreakouts is right wing

It’s just absolutely ridiculous and seems 100% designed to be that way. The whole thing just feels so fake

Reddit has clearly gone the route of TikTok and Facebook: engagement >> user experience

It’s no mystery why Reddit feels so negative these days
