2012? Reddit was already well past its prime before you joined. When everyone at Reddit was posting rage comics 24/7 (before 2012), I thought it couldn't get any worse, but it did.

There are still some subreddits that are worth reading though. The trick is to focus on subjects that aren't interesting to people who are poorly educated or under the age of 25 (e.g., programming languages that are rarely used by junior programmers and, preferably, rarely used in industry).

Yea, the super technical or philisophical subs tend to be some of the more laid back communities where it doesn't feel like you're being yelled down for having any semblance of counterargument to the circlerk.

It's too bad that sometimes I just wanna have a semi-coherent talk about a game or movie or tv show and that just doesn't happen on Reddit anymore. Either it's an inactive sub and you get 0-1 responses to a prompt, or it's a very active sub and suddenly you're being accused of being a shill or a troll or sockpuppet or any other kind of false flag because you dare have an opinion.
