Granted we're all probably biased, since mods got absolutely hosed in all of this. Blacking out subs was a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" where people would get pissed off no matter what.
But the platform itself seems to have changed quite a bit. The front page is crawling with shitty "true rate me" thirst trap subs now of young women. Most of what I see are constant reposts between /r/funnyandsad (often are neither of those things) and /r/Facepalm (usually shit that's been recycled by bots on the front page 57x in the last decade)
I honestly get the feeling a lot of the user base is less active, and they're running "activity" scripts/bots to keep the dumbest shit with 1000x generic comments and 10k karma on the front page all day to give the illusion of a big user base.
Anyone else seeing this, or am I just way off here?
