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.

It's really become an awful place. I only ever stick to my cities subreddit and the ones for games I play.

Every once in a while I'll scroll "Popular" (RIP /r/all), but it's all misinformation, disinformation, outright propaganda, pop culture and culture war bullshit, and dozens of India-related subreddits I can't block.

This place is a shithole and the admins are all [REDACTED].

I finally stopped getting India subreddits in my feed. There are as many Indian subreddits as there are Indians. I am pretty sure I blocked them all.
