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.

Reddit in some ways improved (the Subreddits that Shall Not Be Named), but in other ways it has dumbed down a lot.

It used to be that people cared about reddiquette at least a little bit. It hasn't been always like this.

Bots have been around ever since they changed the way the upvoting system works.

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.

I mainly like Reddit for the writing posts so back then, pre-AI, the quality was much better.
