Was the front page of Reddit always like this?

I just checked it for the first time in ages and we've got:

/r/WinStupidPrizes
/r/Cringetopia
/r/JusticeServed
/r/IdiotsInCars
/r/facepalm
/r/PublicFreakout
/r/TIHI (Thanks I Hate It)
Some guy celebrating his divorce with a selfie featuring his miserable looking ex wife
And of course some gaming stuff

At what point did Reddit become so obsessed with finding people to recreationally get mad at? It's like a majority of the front page content. Terrible vibes.

I mean, that was all after the constant, unending Trump posts being botted to the front page,
