View submission: Reddit's Decline in Democracy
Subreddits were a terrible idea from the beginning, but someone with power sommewhere decided the messages here needed more controlling. They got what they wanted. Welcome to Redigg..

I think subreddits are a great idea. There are some topics I have zero interest in and never want to see anything on that topic, and others that I will read every post.
But what I want to know is if subreddits are really controlled by a single redditor or small groups of redditors instead of being a true part of reddit as a whole.

Are you kidding? Subreddits are awesome. I don't know whether you use them or not, but I think it's really great for getting links or discussions in a specialized area. Don't want funny pictures? Just block the pics subreddit and most of them are gone. The SuicideWatch subreddit has done so much to help people and the Math subreddit is great for their discussions. I really doubt many of the topics in those categories would have seen the light of day without subreddits.
