Reddit and 4chan have both become so shitty that they’re almost unusable.

Using Reddit and 4chan feels like watching new episodes of Family Guy and the Simpsons. Like who the fuck is still here? Who is this for?

I’ve been using both sites on and off for more than ten years now, and each time I came back after taking a break, the quality would be noticeably worse. Reddit used to be its own universe. It’s a husk of what it once was now. Just endless reposts and people asking the same questions over and over again for years. Any interesting sub gets nuked, any cool take gets downvoted to hell. All the comments are either bots, or so generic that they may as well be bots.

Feels like every second post is either a) some 'tist getting absurdly mad over random bullshit and spamming garbage everywhere as a result or b) literal nonsense gobbledygook buzzphrases and memes that can vaguely be reconstructed as a sentence. Just absolute non-sequitor jibberish. The site used to be known as the source of all the world’s memes and now it doesn’t even produce OC.

I’ve always been more of a written text guy than a video guy so I keep coming back to these places hoping to see some kind of revival, but that seems unlikely at this point. I’m too old to go to Discord man.
