Yeah, this really feels like the old days when you'd find all sorts of cool, interesting and unexpected content online. I'm not looking forward to people figuring out how to game the system and ruin it for everyone, but so far it's just cool to burst out of the bubble I've been in for so long.
True. Reddit for me had some of the best user-generated content of all the social media sites, I would say, up until 2021. It was a decline until then, but one could still find a nugget then and now. But since then, it really fell off.
I'm sure this would be like arguing which season of Game of Thrones was the turning point, but for me, I see it as the_donald in 201(5?). Not because of the politics, but because it laid bare that the algorithm was something that could be abused by those who knew how, and the changes reddit put in place to deal with it just crushed the organic feel, and I don't think it ever recovered for me.
