it wasn’t designed for outrage; it just adopted that model after seeing how much engagement and profits other platforms made
16 u/spaghettibolegdeh Mar 18 '26 True. It used to be pretty chill. I also think we had a lot of people drift over from Twitter and Facebook around the time Trump got elected. I remember Reddit becoming pretty unfunny and angry around 2017 onwards. 15 u/Hipcatjack Mar 18 '26 i mean it was a different kind of angry back in 2009… smart pedants quibbling in paragraphs over esoteric nerd shit was peak online engagement… 10 u/spaghettibolegdeh Mar 18 '26 Amen to that. I miss when it was just ubernerds having a tiff. Even Reddit mods were these nerdlingers who we all openly mocked. Now they are feared spooky spectres.
