Reddit sure aint what it used to be.

I feel a strong division of producer/corporate vs consumer in Reddit today. Every sub is more or less a “fan community” defined by something external, something its userbase only communicate with over the counter, and that doesn’t happen elsewhere.
I remember RON PAUL 2008 and the unironic fedora wearing and I don't miss what it used to be.
I remember pun threads and intelligent discourse - prior to the ron paul days (post-digg).
Digg was around and bigger than Reddit until 2010.
