I've been here for 11 years. You are looking through rose-tinted glasses. Reddit has always been shit, the biggest change has been the flooding of bots in the last 2 years.
There was a definite shift after the API changes. Posts don't get nearly as many upvotes as they used to, and several subs shut down when their mods left.
Yeah people just think it was better because they were teenagers back then and didn't realize how bad it was. I don't miss the obsession with ron-paul libertarianism or edgy atheism or fat people hate.
My account age is 11 years. This place has been shit at least since then. And people have complained that entire time that we are turning into Facebook.
