I’ve experienced the same. Similar to yourself, I like to browser when not logged in and logged in.

  2006 reddit looks pretty political https://web.archive.org/web/20061109051326/http://reddit.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20061109051326/http://reddit.com...

    You picked the day after the elections. Of course it’s political. The difference is that modern Reddit looks like that every day of the year, and old Reddit did not.

      I just tried to pick a date most similar to the present one :) If you dig through the archives, I think you may find that the politicisation of reddit happened earlier than you thought. 2008 reddit already seems like mostly politics to me, which I think happened simply because the audience started trending less nerdy. I propose that politics are simply a very popular topic to discuss, and naturally rise to the top as the group becomes less homogenous.
