What was the subreddit that represented to you the best example of downspiral of quality? To me it was /r/dataisbeautiful (kbin.social)

At first it was all about presenting data in an original looking way. In the end it was about pushing political ideas in your throat using a plain bar graph. It was not about sharing something interesting you found but about taking advantage of a captive audience.

/nextfuckinglevel is so annoying when it gets to /all. Usually it's some trivial activity that is executed well or someone just doing their job. Nothing "next level" about it at all.

Also any of the large subs that get flooded with fucking TikTok videos. In the beginning everybody pointed out the shitty songs or fake laugh tracks etc, now it seems everyone just gave up and accepted it.

That was an interesting downfall to witness that taught me a lot about how Reddit really operates. I'm the beginning, it was actually a quality alternative to the generic front page repost subs like /damnthatsinteresting.

Then the instant it hit 1 million subscribers, the whole mod team changed, people like Turtle suddenly appeared in the name of "helping out with a sub that grew too fast for existing mods," and within a few days it was just another trash repost sun.
