Pretty much yeah. The Reddit admins just let some crazy guy that got exposed by CNN moderate all the forums that no one else wanted to, and washed their hands of it. In fact, they even gave the moderator official Reddit awards for moderating the deeply disturbing content. I linked the CNN interview elsewhere in the thread.
I actually do not understand how Reddit has survived for so long.
The only person I feel sorry for in that story is his disabled wife to be honest. And obviously all the innocent kid victims.
Yeah I've been on Reddit since I got internet access back in 2012. I quickly learnt to only use it for tech advice and avoid everything else back then.
I wonder how much longer sports subs will remain at all appealing. Some team subs are OK, but a lot suck (super negative/dumb comments at every turn) and even the league subs have problems with declining content quality.
Honestly sometimes I'll randomly think about the whole 'i_r*pe_cats april fools day' drama, which was probably the real first :reddit-logo: drama I remember seeing. anyways I should be put down because that was like 13 years ago and even then I was like 'wow reddit is a shitty site i'm going back to the invisionfree forum (rip) i used to shitpost on'
I've technically started using Reddit in 2010, but it was mostly to look at rage comics lol. I only remember the major drama that everybody remembers (/r/jailbait, the fappening, "we did it Reddit!", /r/politics filled with Ron Paul spam in 2012, people shitting on Ellen Pao after FPH got banned).

Yeah I only used the sports subs and my country sub these days. Even then I try to stay on topic as much as possible
