Why is anybody subscribed to something by default on Reddit is the biggest mystery to me.

  Because the alternative default, a blank page, would be a really boring user experience.

    Another alternative could be to show r/all by default and present it as a "un-sub from what you don't like" sort of option.
    • philwelch 13y ago
      Or /r/all without the NSFW subreddits, which ends up being indistinguishable from the default.
      • rorrr2 13y ago
        That's not true. There are only around 20 default subreddits. r/all is everything.
        • philwelch 13y ago
          Yeah, and nearly everything on the front page of /r/all comes from those 20 subreddits plus a few NSFW subreddits. The smaller subreddits probably don't even want front page exposure.
