Reddit has quality content?
Aside from sports subreddits, the content quality on the website has been trash for as long as I can remember. After the latest fiasco, you get a mixture of years old memes and incel nonsense like subreddits rating the attractiveness of random woman appearing on r/all and r/popular. The boosting of that last example, which I can only guess is an indirect consequence of the subreddit blackout, is honestly just gross.
