This is a good thing for everyone. I'm sick of the amount of political propaganda on this site, from both sides... Enough.

Have you been to pics or news? This changes nothing.

It's gotten to the point where I can't go on /r/bestof and /r/pics without political nonsense being shoved down my throat. I welcome this change.

I know. /r/Overwatch and /r/leagueoflegends need to tone it down. It's like, we get it, you're two different games, simmer down with the inter-genre politics.

Politics is actually on popular. You will continue to see it from now on

Political bullshit will still be covering r/popular because almost every sub on this site is waging some kind of agenda war.

If anything this is slightly more censorship to appease the core audience of reddit. Hence the non-inclusion of the most filtered sub-reddits from r/all. This was a push to stop the spamming of the /r/The_Donald and other subreddits that have the same behavior.

They had this planned when they introduced the r/all filter. They used /r/The_Donald as a filter example and used the numbers generated from the filter to justify this change. It's actually a pretty smart play by the admins.

This keeps the annoying spam away, which is good. I do think they targeted subreddits like /r/The_Donald from the beginning though, not that cool.

This place feels a little bit more synthetic every day.

Reddit, making apathy the norm since 2017.

It's only going to filter out one side. I'm not a fan of the_donald, but it's pretty obvious this whole overhaul is being done for them.

They allow /r/Fuckthealtright and /r/LateStageCapitalism/ so I guess it's only right-wing propaganda that we'll be getting a break from.
