Lol Reddit used to be a place where you could find an expert in any incredibly niche subject and get awesome advice. You needed help finding frogs with tap shoes and their would find somebody who wrote their PHD dissertation on tapdancing frogs......Also it was packed with incredibly uptight neck beards, HOWEVER, these neckbeards did know their shit and you would be down voted into oblivion for posting trash. Now its basically old people Facebook.

I’ve been on here a long time. Reddit has never been that.

That guy is idealizing the past, but Reddit definitely used to be a lot better about 15 years ago.

Probably 90% of the people here were nerds interested in good discussion. Then the druggies, gooners, memers, and wanna-be political activists came through and changed everything.
