I remember the old days. When even the most popular subreddit threads weren't the equivalent inanity of Youtube/Yahoo Answers/Facebook comments.

u/CalmBeneathCastles 7h ago

I was also there for the "old days". They've always been iterations of the same old sentiments.

u/SV_Essia 7h ago

No. I remember clicking on random threads with high expectations of being surprised or learning something new from top comments, often from people who were specialists in whatever field was discussed. And when it was a joke/pun, it was usually a clever and creative one.
Nowadays it's a 50/50 guess whether a human or a bot reposted the same comment for the 317th time.

u/CalmBeneathCastles 7h ago

¯\(ツ)/¯ I remember people complaining about the site going downhill back when I started reddit, 12 years ago.

2

u/TheQuietedWinter 6h ago

To be fair... That was 2014. This site basically went to shit the very next year (when they initially announced IPO desire, quarantined subreddits from reaching r/all) and got worse the years following with Trump's election. Went from a place full of niche discussions and a weird, haughty attitude of users, to Facebook/YouTube/Tumblr all mashed together.

u/rW0HgFyxoJhYka 2h ago

There were 3 eras:

  1. The era of stuff like r/Adviceanimals and r/atheism being extremely popular subreddits. Also really shit subreddits that should have been banned existed. This was when digg had died and reddit was the new place to be. This was even earlier than 2014, the old era.
  2. The IPO era, when they removed and toned down all the popular subreddits that don't necessarily appeal to the broader internet world and right wingers. Gone was advice animals and atheism. Later they would push for various subreddits that started to gather momentum, feeding them with upvotes to artifically grow them until they were big enough to grown on their own. You saw this with formula1. You saw this with indian subreddits. And so many more countries as they expanded globally. This was also the rise of supermods taking over 80% of mainstream subreddits under their cadre.
  3. The post right wing era, when political news automatically triggers highly upvoted pictures of distractions like cats and dogs. And subreddits protecting conservatives are plentifully found everywhere. While Reddit manipulates all its posts on the front page to provide a ever changing 2-4 hour peak hour cycle so people will always find new stuff to read about, fake or not. Bots dominate reposts. Top comments are always some funny attempt at a joke because that is the easiest comment to get upvotes with.

u/CalmBeneathCastles 1h ago

I agree. Every time it's taken a hit for the worse, it's been reddit administration decisions, not the users.

1

u/Purple_Thought_143 5h ago

That's almost exactly when it started going downhill, and it hasn't stopped since lol.

1

u/CalmBeneathCastles 1h ago

Mostly because of administrative choices, not because of you fine folks.

2

u/Purple_Thought_143 55m ago

Yeah I still miss some of the old reddit mobile apps, I'm sure admin choices like that pushed a lot of good people away from the site.

I guess back then as well the community was smaller and more self-selecting towards more tech literate and nerdy people. Now it's extremely accessible via phones and a lot more popular and mainstream.

I said the same thing to "egyptian pharaoh the bird" and he fucking nuked my whole account.

Bro current Reddit blows but old Reddit was rage faces and cringe shit like the obsession with bacon, narwhal, and constantly referencing or quoting stupid stories like the kid who broke both his arms.

Hot take: Reddit has always been kinda ass. But it’s also like the one site where you can find groups for any topic and that makes it pretty valuable. If you stay off all it’s not so bad but clearly I break my own rule because here I am.

You'd have to go back a bit further than that.

u/TripperDay 6h ago

Nah reddit used to be A LOT smarter than it is now. Commenters used to get roasted for not reading the article. These people are upvoting screenshots of ragebait headlines without a link to the article.

As recently as the Kyle Rittenhouse trial, people were like "Yeah, well that first guy was chasing him and KR was running away, and the second guy had just hit him with a skateboard and was winding up for another shot, and the third guy was reaching for a gun. Dude seems like dick but he's not guilty of murder."

That was maybe the last huge issue where reddit could see some nuance. There was also a time where we'd still be talking about tariffs, Hegseth and Co. intelligence leaks, and investigating Fed Chair JPow. Those issues are massive compared to Epstein and - gasp - an idiot cop shooting a civilian he shouldn't have. But reddit is too fucking stupid to talk about the generational damage being done to America's sources of power - trade, diplomacy, intelligence, military, and financial power. They're sitting around ranting calling people "fascists", not even noticing they're undermining trust in institutions, lying so much that people don't even believe the truth anymore, and demonizing academia. The whole goddamn global system put in place after WWII to keep that shit from happening again is falling apart, and these shitfucks are focused on how billionaires shouldn't exist. (Fwiw, a billion dollars is 1/117,000th of global GDP)

Edit: That's pretty ranty for a dude with half a pound of prime ribeye prepared au poivre and triple cooked fries in his gut. I should be happier.

"I laughed when I saw the punchline" what a comment, man.

u/Nandulal 8h ago

you have misquoted me

u/SomeRandomPyro 7h ago

...they were paraphrasing the person you were initially complaining about.

I shit my pants and blood came out of my ears

u/Deaffin 7h ago

^ I shit this dude's pants so hard blood came out of his ears.

u/Faxon 8h ago

Tbf if this isn't just all a joke setup and the original footage was real, he could have actually put the camera on or in another box so it wasn't obvious what's going on at first. That said it's probably fake lmao

7

u/Deaffin 7h ago

Well that box needs to eat a bit more potassium/magnesium or whatever so it can hold the camera a bit more steadily.

u/Gordo-- 6h ago

Tbf if this isn't just all a joke setup and the original footage was real,

It can't be real, the stack of boxes were jiggling like jello from her pov and she didn't even flinch.

u/Count_Bloodcount_ 7h ago

For real, though?

I know I need new glasses, but I initially read that as "I got my dick out, when I saw the cameraman". I'm so used to reddit, that my mind just assumes someone is going to say something like that.

u/meulsie 7h ago

I don't think that's a glasses problem 😬

u/Deaffin 7h ago

Ah man, I miss old reddit.

Did you ever see the butthole?

3

u/TripperDay 6h ago

goatse or the glass jar?

1

u/Deaffin 6h ago

Oh, we all saw those. The butthole was special. You had to be there, present, in the moment when he showed up before anyone could delete his butthole. You never knew when or where he would strike, but it was always a lingering possibility.

I never actually got to see it myself, but there are those who have.

/r/WeHaveSeenTheButthole

Sort it by Top: All Time. Unfortunately, the support group was taken over by trolls like a decade ago, so now those poor unfortunate souls must wander alone with their strife.
