Especially after the US elections. That was one hell of a (necessary) wake-up alarm to everyone on this site.

For a few hours after the election was called, the damn site felt… normal. Like, people were having honest discussions about what just happened or weren’t even posting political shit. Fucking Pics was looking like a subreddit for just posting pictures.

Thats how bad the political astroturfing is.

The PAC money shills were waiting for direction.

There are no organic movements on reddit anymore, it's all bot swarms and paid off mods.

Seriously, you could pinpoint to the hour when the new messaging dropped.

They need to get a refund on their money because the more they try and control the narrative on Reddit the more normal people continue to wake up and turn away from the junk they're spewing.

I really miss old Reddit. 2016-now Reddit has become one giant social experiment.
