This touches on a good point. I had mostly been sticking to some of the sports subs and askreddit, but like you, found the quality was dropping rapidly over the past year-ish. It went from being a place where you could read some good stories and insights into who could post the most ridiculous thing. That, and the thread topics became, as you said, more juvenile and repetitive.

I had been trying to find alternatives for a while, and this latest fiasco simply provided the opportunity to leave. Seems like a lot of others may have been in the same boat.
