r/casualconversation had a niche userbase at one point; few regular names, not too much attention baiting.

I leave for a month, it takes off, 2/3 threads had the same dude kissing ass on ladies in the top post, and just as it had attracted Chads, so too did it attract the Stacys it worked on.

It's ultimately how all subs end up. Hell, even r/WoW is 1/5 posts "I found this art pls upboat" from outsiders who aren't even subbed. At this point it's more addictive and social media'y than.. Actual media.

It's been circling the drain for a long time, but the admins finally leaned on r/drama and made them ban user-pings, which to me is r/drama's final death knell. IMO That was the last semi-decent meta sub, and user-pings were the last thing that made it (occassionally) fun.

"gender disparity arises from nature, and that means nature is sexist"

I mean, she's not wrong, technically, she's just completely retarded.

/r/Drama found a workaround though. You can't ping random users, but you can ping mods, so they just make the biggest drama starters mods of /r/drama, then you can ping them to your heart's delight.

/r/23andme is meant for people to discuss their genetic testing results - you know, share fun and interesting findings about their ancestry. Instead, it's become a showcase of extremely depressing, life-altering family drama: cheating parents, long-lost siblings, revelations of incest, and even a few people whose results revealed that they were born intersex.

Here are some examples.
  1. My parents are now divorcing because of my results
  2. 23andme read me as genetically female but I'm male
  3. My maternal grandparents are brother and sister
  4. You all were right. I am the product of incest.
  5. My first cousin is actually my half-sister
  6. My boyfriend and I did these for fun and found out we were fourth cousins

I feel that r/23andme would have more people finding out grandpa was an SS officer, not brother/sister incest.

God help you if you ever want to go to Reddit with the intent of asking a very simple question. 99% of all questions I've ever posted on the "askreddit" sub got removed for absolutely stupid reasons. And the only good sub that is dedicated to answering questions about health advice will automatically delete any post that doesn't include very specific personal information.

AskReddit is really more for "wacky" questions like their stupid horse-sized duck shit. iirc there's subreddits like NoStupidQuestions, AskHistorians, etc where you can actually get real answers to real questions.

Of course, that requires in-depth working knowledge of Reddit culture, which is pretty lame (and even lamer that I apparently have that in-depth working knowledge of Reddit culture :( )

I didn't look at every page of this thread, so excuse me if this has already been posted before....

You know what? Since the link doesn't tell you who it is i'm not posting screenshots and i'm just going to leave it as a surprise. He is verified, so it is most likely real as can be.

So this guy got molested by his Mom for years, convinced himself he enjoyed it, and is now participating in a study about “non-traumatic incest” (translation, yet another fruity sexologist trying to normalize deviant behavior). Also, Dad knew and encouraged it because he got off on it. Jesus Christ, we’ve gone too far.
