Reddit is horrible, to be sure. When he died, I couldn't post a short, pure-text post about Colin Powell and his key role in the coverup of the My Lai Massacre. That's mainstream, Wikipedia-level history, and that was three years ago.

More annoying than that--and I believe this to be absolutely purposeful--is that it has been absolutely flooded with annoying shills. It's sort of the inverse of the homeless situation: you're one of the few normal people trying to live in a town populated by loud, smelly, ignorant, aggressive, mentally-unstable people.

The bad drives out the good. The plan is simplicity itself.
