Like I know Reddit is garbage but why is this particular variety of garbage so pervasive there

    I went over to reddit when digg had the fallout over the power user stuff. Anyways I noticed right away that porn subs were wildly more popular than so much stuff. One of those subs was the jailbait one which was by far top 2 or 3 porn subs. There were quite a few other pedo or extremely borderline pedo ones. The point of all this is it has always fostered these types of people. And wouldn't ya know it, the libertarian sub was also one of the most active politic subs outside of just r/politics. These things go hand and hand with each other, reddit community is made up with a lot of people people who agree with these things, it was created by libertarians too

      I started to leave Digg when they launched that new version that wouldn't even let you see your past comments to respond to people talking to you.

      They eventually rolled it back but Reddit had already taken the opportunity to spam themselves all over Digg and I made an account.
