What was the subreddit that represented to you the best example of downspiral of quality? To me it was /r/dataisbeautiful (kbin.social)

At first it was all about presenting data in an original looking way. In the end it was about pushing political ideas in your throat using a plain bar graph. It was not about sharing something interesting you found but about taking advantage of a captive audience.

Is that what happened? I knew something had changed but I didn't realize it I guess. It went from being a really fun sub to being so boring and the same shit every day.

Yep, I said I thought it might be a controversial opinion because several months after the change I posted something saying "I hate this new rule, what do you think?" (since the mods had said that they'd solicit feedback after a while with the new rule & I never saw an actual feedback-seeking post) and got super downvoted. So I thought I was in the minority on this one.

I just missed the actual rule change and found myself reading significantly less of those posts because I thought the quality had gone down so much.
