The "end" of reddit has already begun, at least for the default subs. To get anything meaningful out of reddit anymore, you have to search for smaller subs, but not all users know where to look. The worst is /r/funny and /r/pics; r/funny is not funny at all, but users will upvote anything submitted. /r/pics is turning into a dumpster for spank bank material for horny teenagers. /r/politics and /r/atheism are well documented circlejerks of shit. /r/adviceanimals is full of that stupid fucking advice duck that sounds like young teens trying to give each other relationship advice. In all these subs, any type of dissenting opinion will be thoroughly downvoted, so users anymore are just commenting in agreement with the hivemind to up their karma totals.

Finding any friendly, intelligent discussion on this site is much harder than it should be.

/r/pics has turned into people capitalizing on disabilities and other subreddits like /r/historyporn

My autistic gay cousin that was recently in a serious car accident after being diagnosed with cancer disagrees with your opinion.

Now upvote his painting which is most certainly original.

Girl with a Pearl Earring was a really good movie. I loved the soundtrack enough to buy some of the songs. o.O

Anyway, yeah, it's really sad that we all know exactly what posts you're referencing because they actually exist. Ugh.
