Reddit is not crazy because of moderators. It’s crazy because it attracted the wrong crowd and gave them all the exposure they can dream of. Have you checked r/popular? It is filled with memes, celeb gossips, aitah posts, random web links about trump, twitter screenshots about Reddit posts.

R/popular used to be an interesting place to discover new forums. But now it’s just a handful of subReddits showing up again and again - Reddit is just a pigpen, with the same mud slinging by the same pigs.
