I think most people unsubscribe from r/all anyway and subscribe to subs related to their favorite hobbies and games and work related info. Most of my frontpage is for video games I'm currently playing, programs I'm currently using and odd fun subs like moviemistakes or maybemaybemaybe. I wish I could do that here.
