Hateful, polarizing, hyperpartisan subs like r/redscarepod have ruined Reddit.

Yellow social, thedonald, Chapo, LFG, bluepillrs. I don’t care if you think they’re funny, I don’t care if you like to “expose” them, I don’t care if you think they’re secretly a bunch of troll planting disinformation. I don’t care if you want to join in “to fight from the inside” or whatever dumb nonsense. Single handedly they’ve all made this website into a toxic wasteland.<br><br>The only thing I find funnier than the hyper nationalist patriotism of people who literally call themselves “the Proud Boys” are the hyper self loathing idiots who think the US is the axis of evil. Both types are obsessed with the government for different reasons and think it has this omniscient power it just doesn’t have.<br><br>And the mod team does nothing to stop it. They just use the content policy loophole, and let swarms of bees descend upon any sub that they don’t like. “Sorry, this sub broke the content policy…. 5000 times…. In one day…. From brand new accounts with no comment history.” Yeah, ok. Sure thing. Meanwhile every time auser posts a picture of their friend who died that breaks literally *every single rule* somehow it gets in.<br><br>I think the first thing that really made me hate this website in recent years was when I posted in Atb about a friend of mine getting shot in the head and dying. I posted the crime scene photo, describing what had happened to him and how I felt about it, and got permanently banned “for breaking the content policy.”<br><br>You love this site? You think this website is in any way shape or form about creating a community of users? You’re deluded. It has never been that, it is not that now, and it never will be. Every post you make is nothing more than commodified labor to line the pockets of those on the Board of Directors. Every interaction you have is cultivated and designed to keep you on the website the longest, regardless of the human cost.<br><br>Even if you like this website, even if you have a good time, even if you think it’s a great way to connect to others in a meaningful way you’re wrong. Humans are only here to be exploited. If you can’t see that, you’re a fool.
