Lol, I kinda agree, which is somewhat related to another thing I won't miss: The teenagers.
The lockdown + reddit's new direction of becoming more like fb/insta has drastically increased the number of teenagers on reddit. I hate it. It's like an eternal summer-reddit.
The discussions get crappy and stale, they don't follow rediquette, they are insufferably naive but aggressive with their opinions due to twitterification of their online socialisation. and so.fricking.horny. TIFU and Askreddit almost completely became horny fantasy posting, and I blame the teenagers for it.
God I feel like a terminally-online grumpy old man for saying it, but UGH interacting with teens online is like a human rights violation.
yeah ……… i have found various subs infiltrated with people as young as 13 and it shocks me. its honestly extremely dangerous for themselves to be exploring reddit at that age but also like dude, i absolutely do not want to be engaging with anyone under the age of 20 MINIMUM
I don't mind them being on reddit at that age. I just wish they knew when to keep their mouth shut - 90% of the bad discussions I saw in the last three years could've been solved with a 10sec search.
