View submission: Reddit. This is not good.

Anybody else not give a fuck whether Reddit is going downhill, uphill, or whatever the fuck?

I like coming here. It gives me funny links, amusing memes, and occasionally interesting conversations. If I ever get bored of it, I'll visit a different website. For the moment, I'm enjoying myself.

when I started coming here, if there was an article, people would fact check it in the comments. There would often be cross references and related links in the comments. Now it goes like this:

joke (that always happens on caturday)
pun thread (i pawsed when i saw this)
tired old meme (i bet i can blank 100 blanks)
some obvious opinion that we all share (Glenn Beck is a weiner!)
some obvious opinion that we all share (Bill O'Reilly is a weiner!)
some obvious opinion that we all share (Sarah Palin is stupid!)
some obvious opinion that we all share (Jon Stewart is cool!)

"funny links, amusing memes, and occasionally interesting conversations"*

Sigh.....That's not all bad, and I still enjoy this site very much, but it used to be so much more....

It used to give us insight, pertinent news, and intelligent humor. Now it's a repository for 4chan via failblog via youtube via blogspam via blogspam via re:re:re:re:YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS via repost.

I give a fuck about it. I love parts of reddit dearly, and other parts disgust me. I'd much rather love all of it.

But how am I supposed to act snotty and pretentious if I can't go around claiming Reddit is turning into Digg?

You know, I kind of agree. I like coming here, and I'm complacent. I think that makes the trend, if real, all the worse. I don't reddit any more or less than a couple years ago, therefore as the concentration of drivel has increased, so has my consumption of it.... (And the inverse for "good" news.)
