Thanks for the explanation. I noticed something similar a couple years ago with reddit where a sub becomes either a full on sjw circlejerk or an alt right hellhole. There's a shrinking middle ground.

Not only this but there's been a lot more harassment and nastiness on pretty much all social media. So much negativity and so little value offered in return. Sorry for my pessimism but I'm just calling it how I see it Edit: and also all of the rampant shilling that's only increased in the past couple of years. There's some online communities that I don't even visit because it seems like literally every other post is shilling some kind of product or value set that leads to some product
