What Happened to Reddit?
Recently my Reddit browsing took a turn for the worse. I know they occasionally update the Front Page to add or remove various subreddits. But I
can't tell if the recent changes I'm experiencing are for everyone, or just me. I assume they are for everyone, because I am not logging
in.
The site is fucking almost garbage for me now, and I legit can't figure out what is happening. Some of the subreddits that have been on the
(my?) Front Page over the past week defy logic. Like why would they add a subreddit dedicated to Donald Glover on the Front Page? Pollandball (what
ever the fuck that is)? Breaking Bad? (Great show, but why would they add it to the main page after being over for a couple years?) None of these are
subreddits I have ever visited. Ever. So there is no way they are somehow being added to Front via my history. The only explanation is that they just
updated the Front Page to have a shit load of random subs...?
None of this makes sense. Anyone else having similar issues?

I just stick to small subs, but I remember reading how the new algorithm for the Front Page was completely horrible. I guess they never got around to
fixing it.
I tried giving it a look and there's definently some random crap in there.

I was beginning to think it was a new algorithm. But it's bonkers with how it now applies to apparently the whole site, sans NSFW subs. What an
awful idea. I get wanting to expose people to new subs, but there's the "random" link if I'm feeling frisky.

I for one, look forward to Reddit going offline. Regardless of the SJW stuff. Regardless of the Alt-Right stuff. Or any other of the fucked up things
they provide communities for.
No...fuck Reddit for stealing Digg.

Reddit is 4chan with words. Even if it dies, the shitpeople will just start shitposting elsewhere. There are, admittedly, some useful/helpful
posters on the reddits, but they are outweighed by all the vitriol and vomit provided by a small percentage of individuals.
