As someone who visits Reddit purely for entertainment, I welcome the changes.

I can't stand Trump. But even if I was a supporter (or the subreddit in question was for a more amiable candidate), /r/all has been useless for the last couple of months. It's been swamped with hate speech and spam. I've stayed away from it altogether, which is a shame because it's a great way to find trending posts in subreddits I don't subscribe to.

An alternative would have been to allow users to block certain subreddits from their /r/all (making it /r/almost all, I guess). But this would have been difficult and confusing for new users and wouldn't help anonymous users at all.

I wonder if they lost a lot of traffic because of that subreddit.

Yes. I find it funny how Americans support free speech (at least here; given general comments and in this thread) when it means the ability to harass certain groups. If the so called "social justice warriors" were doing this, there would be outrage by now as to how we were destroying their favourite online community.

It gives a messsage on how its a gold only feature, but it seems to work anyway.
