The fact that reddit and its subreddits became huge echo chambers that downvote and challenge anything that isn't the current public opinion.

The pile of different dumb awards like "wholesome" or those expensive diamond things.

Snarkiness, snobbery, walking on eggshells, opinion downvotes and in general the unbearable attitude of most redditors.

So called IT experts who only know solutions by rote. If the question is out of their scope they almost always respond with “why do you want to do that? You really want to do this instead” and then promptly give you basic instructions that don’t actually answer the question.

Stupid drama and community rivalries. And ads in apps.

r/thathappened or any variation of the above, or even stupider, one of those posting the name of the sub and some goofball below asks to be included in the picture of the post that they uploaded to said subreddit

And comment posting bots. Since there's no karma there should be no market value for accounts right? Am I missing something or does that kind of solve the problem? We could still see trolls using Ai to comment randomly

Long, thought out posts with replies that consist solely of something like "you're*"
