But, in truth. It has gone to the dogs. Reddit has failed. Failed to be reasonable. By reasonable it requires reasoning. There is none left for the most part. Reasoning requires debate. Reddit has almost exactly none. It simply railroads every topic to drive advertising, its posts, into blind agreement. Undoubtedly there are few diehards left. Like yourself on a conspiracy sub, where it's a honeytrap. Conspiracy requires vetting to post, 2 month account creation, no history, no post even there, instant shadow banned. Its bots the dumbest on the planet immediately attack your history, if you post anything except an echo. If you gained cookie points first then post outside of an echo they blockchain downvotes spamming you with a checksum. It locks all you diehards in there, banning you from much of the rest of the site. Now it is overrun by shills and agents monitoring all your activity on that sub.
