I used to have been on Reddit for about 10+ years. I enjoyed the platform because I was able to feel like I was part of a community. I got to vent about my work, rant about my problems, help out people by answering their problems, giving suggestions, post my opinions on things in some subreddits and contribute to others. Felt like I was a member.

Then I just noticed the atmosphere change for the worst, thanks to politics and socially charged individuals who politicize and turn every platform into an activist podium of some sorts. Everyone seemingly got argumentative, trolls became more and more prominent. It was at this point I was starting to see bans after bans. It was pissing me off so I got mutinous overtime which lead to more bans, making more alts that equaled to more bans.

It got to a point where I’ve been banned so much that I was shadow-banned on sight, regardless if I made a account on a VPN or not. The old trick of going to AskReddit to build karma up on a new or alt account wasn’t working anymore. Because Reddit was getting on to those tactics thanks to others having done it multiple times. So after these 10+ years, every and any enjoyment I’ve had on that platform was all but gone.

And I’d like to believe that because of my main IP being changed, I’m able to partake into it again recently as a couple months ago to the present now. The platform is all but unenjoyable. You see the same posts. The same questions asked hundreds of times. Moderators being trigger-happy on bans, which already I’ve gotten one from a wrestling subreddit of all places. Rules don’t matter because everywhere on every subreddit there’s a section that says ‘Moderator’s Discretion’ which means that moderators can do whatever they fucking want anyways so why have rules?

And the whole Reddit filtering shit is awfully annoying. Yeah, have fun making a post where you pour even some of your most natural feelings into it, without trying to be offensive or stepping on toes, just for that damn thing to trigger and remove it altogether. Good luck talking to moderators too, who take their sweet time getting around to even viewing the post, with a good chance they’ll remove it themselves.

It’s like Reddit has committed all of their resources, to make it an unbearable wasteland of shit. Spez did a good job at that. For every step forward he thinks he has taken of progress, he sets the platform five steps back. That’s some talent.

And Spez can absolutely go fuck himself for being the corporate dick-sucker he’s always been.
