reddit was never good, it was tolerable at best. The fact that in the early days the jailbait sub was allowed to be one of the biggest on the site and was only pulled after national media attention is really all you need to know to reinforce that belief, though we could also point to so much more.
You see, I didn't gravitate towards the jailbait side, so I probably didn't look there for entertainment. I liked forums. Crafts. Skills based information. Funny shit. Apparently all you saw was some evil lurking internet cloud, easily duplicated here on this very lemmingo within these same cyberspace walls. And carried forward to great lengths on the evil ever present 'dark webster'. Yet another place I have no need for or interest in. My advice if I had any would be choose better the windmills you tilt.

but yeah, it was a windmill, ok. 🙄
