I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The "home feed" shows subs I never subscribed to. There are so many ads. Between the ads and the the extra subs in the feed, it's hard to just scroll. I also noted a lot of spam in some of the subs. Maybe they are subs with no mods? I'm not sure what's up with that.
We do like humour. So called “memes” (that is, image macros, memes are an entirely different thing, of which image macros are merely a particularly malignant subset)… OK, I’ll grant you, maybe they’re not entirely the opposite of humour, maybe they’re just what’s left when you remove all the humour and just leave a dry mummified shell of what might have once been a very poor attempt at a bad joke… but still, if they’re poorly made (as is the case 99% of the time), they’re noise, they’re spam, and if they have any value whatsoever it’s entirely negative… and if they’re “well” made… then they’re just plain old political propaganda (but without the artistic value that good propaganda posters had), so noise, spam, and definitely of negative value to society.
