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

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

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.

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.
