Reddit's userbase quality has been in decline for years. The top 10 posts every day are something like:

[Some snarky oversimplified political tweet]

Top Comment:

"It's almost as if [some snarky oversimplified, edgy-teenager-take they stole from John Oliver]."

Seeing the news that reddit was bringing in more investors just now made me want to take a peek at what the competition was up to. I remember Voat.co being set up when Reddit started banning a bunch of subreddits, so I figured I'd go check that out...Don't do it. The content is just straight racist desires for ethno-states, and an extremely popular conspiracy that Democrats favor abortion because they drink the blood of children. I'm not kidding: https://voat.co/v/news/3016128. The top comment is literally "Every article I've read on this has omitted WHERE THEY GET THE GODDAMN BLOOD FROM."

So, ya. Guess we're stuck with reddit for now...
