Everything you said is so spot on. I think the 2014-2016 era was great at Reddit. After Trump got elected the leftists really got pissed and banned everything they could.
The old r/WSB was the best but the 2020-2021 meme YOLO stonks era was annoying. WSB is still pretty good for comedy. The 2022 NASDAQ crash created a lot of great comedy from the previous YOLO crowd like the deepfakes of Powell saying "Fuck your calls/puts".
r/politics became shitshow after the "Blue check" crowd took over during the 2016 primaries. I remember it was mainly BernieBros who posted stuff in 2015-16 before the "I'm with Hillary" crowd took over. Today it is a real disaster. It's a 24/7 anti-Trump crusade. ET's politics section is much more balanced in comparison.
Yea.. going back to I guess 2008, I loved reddit. Most everything on there was stuff that had already been hidden/controlled/deleted on mainstream internet sites. Back then you could search pretty much anything and find a unbiased answer. They kept it like an old school forum from early internet days.
Since, I guess, around Trump (maybe even before) there is NOTHING real or unbiased...it a total Bias, totally controlled by the internet police. If your post or comment is even the slightest bit away from their guided narrative...they will ban you immediately.
I plan to short the stock if there are any shares available. It will be a meme stock, so puts with probab;y be outrageously priced like all meme puts.
I think the only value in the company is the older forum pages for AI to scan and learn. But stock value wont see that. Principles will eat those contracts up with massive stock options and bonuses. I doubt there will be much advertising to speak of.

, as the table shows; she is at the last position.
