It is shocking to me how much Reddit had declined since ~2016, at least from my perspective. Maybe I just am not remembering it correctly, but I don't think there was nearly as many blatantly false articles, echo chambers, posts praising hate groups, etc. on the front page back then. Even subreddits like /r/pics have been taken over with constant misleading political posts.
- CincinnatiMan 6y agoIt really is shocking. All the default subs' content on the front page these days is political or very politically-related. I don't know when it shifted, but sometime between now and 2012 when I joined.
- treeman79 6y agoSome of the subreddits are fine, but man, the hate groups do their best to break into those. For medical advice, Oddly facebook groups are often much bigger, and have very up to date advice. Yes tons of mom stereotypes, but a strong core of people who research stuff and give advice.
