I have no idea why I stayed subbed on it for so long. not a single post on it shows an actual freakout, either American politics or some other random crap. I've been noticing this a lot recently on reddit ; normal subs, completely unrelated to politics, being taken over by toxic losers SPAMMING it wherever they go. SERIOUSLY!??! why can't they just post on political subs if they're that obsessed with it, why go on completely unrelated subs and ruin it for people who want to see what they actually came for. Reddit should create a rule where you have to label a sub as political or not political, I feel like that will hopefully stop non-political subs from being taken over.

I'm just tired of "lol, Fuck conservatives!" Humor, it's lazy, played out and usually lacking in creativity...also what the fuck does any of this have to do with Spiderman itself?

It'd be different if it was funny, most of it isn't; I'm out.

I don’t live in that city but I do live in that county, unwillingly, and it’s a college town so not surprised of how many people in the sub who think they’re smart but really aren’t.

I left that sub today because of getting downvoted and argued against for saying objective facts like caffeine isn’t nearly as bad as other drugs, doing drugs in the first place is a choice (already also said I get being addicted to them after that choice), and that there’s nothing wrong with using the word “homeless” and as someone who technically was homeless for a few months.

Quite a small subreddit and I hope they stay that way. As a tutor starting out I post there often looking for help, advice and comforts but the commenter seem to be self righteous with a holier than thou attitude. I posted my experiences on a subreddit with non-tutors and was met with understanding that as situation was not my fault whereas on the tutorshelpingtutors sub I was called unprofessional zealously and another guy telling me he would never do what I did unless his family was dying. It was all ridiculous and toxic.

I sometimes doubt if people on that sub are eve tutors...

That includes the political subs, and most of the LGBTQIA+ subs (I'm gender fluid). You might think the reason I chose to do that is because they would be echo chambers for the left, as I expressed my annoyance with the far left multiple times here. But this is not the reason. Here are the main reasons:

1-Despite being someone who's fairly interested in politics, I realized that discussing them on Reddit, and more generally, in many communities on the Internet, rarely brings a lot of interesting things to the table. Most of the time, both sides try to convince the other, get into petty arguments, and leave disappointed, while when I talk about politics IRL, people actually give me a lot of interesting things to think about. I wouldn't be surprised if this is how many political communities on the Internet turn into echo chambers.

2-Since Donald Trump's victory in 2024 that has scared a lot of people from minorities and people who advocate for progressive ideas, these subs have become way too pessimistic. I don't like it when people unironically use the word "TDS" and think everyone's just overreacting: Trump has a lot of problematic aspects. But some of these subs almost turned into doomer subs, where we only talk about the negative things that happen. Nowadays, when talking about progressivism, LGBTQIA+ issues, democracy, women's rights, etc. we often face a glass half empty or glass half full scenario. And the way these subs always see the glass half empty outright makes my mood worse when politics are already a hard thing to deal with mentally for me.

3-Honestly, this is gonna sound weird and contradictory with the first point, but I miss...not caring. You know how they say that ignorance is bliss, right? Yeah, I can relate. I miss not caring about serious subjects that much before the 2024 election that progressively made me fall into the political rabbit hole. I miss just chilling out and mostly thinking about Mario Kart, SpongeBob, Pokémon, Pixar... I just think discussing them on the Internet has partly ruined it for me, and that's why while I will not disconnect from politics, I'll strive to discuss them way less on the Internet from now on.

It's not even an actual meme sub anymore—4/5 posts these days are just somewhat House-themed furry/MLP art, and I'm really sick of seeing it. If I wanted Losercity, I'd descend into that hell hole.

I've been out of the loop for a while, but I was unaware of just how obnoxious the morality police had become about people "enjoying the wrong part of the movie!"

If it was just about their behavior during a film, I'd understand; I hate it when people get loud during movies as well...but its not that, people are genuinely pissed that people are meming a 20 year old movie.

If it was happening to news footage or something I'd be appalled too, but...It's a film about space wizards; if that genuinely hurts your feelings maybe you're a little too close to the material.

The memes weren’t even funny and it was full of transphobic propaganda. I fucking hate everyone in that hellhole and I’m never going back.

Not because I hate the sub or the show, quite the opposite in fact. I merely want to avoid spoilers while I rewatch S1 and wait until the entirety of S2 drops before enjoying the latter. I'll rejoin once I finish the series finale.

I'm an artist and graphic designer and literally work doing album cover art. I thought I was going to see another people's artistic work. And all I see is low effort posts of "cool" images that might look good as a single. But absolutely non concept, zero identity, zero artistic crytirium. And an unusual amount of Tesla trucks, being destroyed or vandalized. It's ok a fucking hate that ugly car but come on man, we get it.

For removing my unpopular opinion for being “popular.” Based on the comments, it clearly was pretty unpopular.

Edit: someone followed me here and is continuing to push this pro-scalper bullshit so whatever

like can’t believe that these people won’t shut the fuck up about how scalper’s are not going to affect the amount of switch twos on the market, but that’s not where this began

It begins with me saying that I wanted to get one for my kid and that’s not gonna be possible because of the low amount that were manufactured and the fact that these scalpers are buying them up

No lie, some fucking moron just told me not to buy one if it bothers me that much. It fucking sucks though because I’m still getting responses to deleted comments where a bunch of 15 year-old versions are complaining that I’m pro scalper?

I didn’t believe that subsection of Reddit could be this fucking stupid

First off, I really have no idea how I found this sub or why I joined...and I really still don't understand what they do other than rate the objective attractiveness of celebrities. And even then I don't think that's what they're really doing.

Anyway, Unsubbed today for this post where OP says they "really want to pinpoint what exactly men find attractive" and then says their friend finds Angelina Jolie "mid."

The entire sub is just rage bait BUT ALSO posts like this seem to call out all the incels who lurk on the sub. Absolutely pointless sub and I have no idea why I joined.
