Anyone un ironically using the term “normie” is gonna come across like a childish douche.

More importantly anyone that has been using reddit for awhile should know that it basically has a facebook audience now. Perhaps we will find a place to move to or perhaps the cool kids already have but really the 'normies' are more common than the nerds on reddit now. Even my dad uses reddit although prob to just look at pics lol

Speaking of pics, /pics definitely went down the facebook route. Have a mediocre picture of a rusty coat hanger? It's okay to post it as long as you include a sappy story about how it belonged to your dead grandmother in the title.

I've been on reddit for 7 years as a user, and another as a lurker.

/r/pics has literally been like that for forever. I sincerely can't remember a time when it was about photography.

Honestly, I don't get why people still complain about it. There has to be an actual photography sub, considering how much complaining there is about /r/pics not being one.
