I'm going to miss AITA. Even if someone makes it a community, it will take a long time to populate.

that's how I felt about all the /r/entitled_X subs, since so many of those were so unbelievably one-sided that most of them felt made up for rage.

It starts getting that way with any page that gets popular. Regular front-page subs become targets for clout chasers... even in the comments - with so many fake names. Reddit's been dead - Spez only defiled a corpse.

I also agree the front page subs were mostly filled with shallow fiction, but there was definitely good stuff going for Reddit before Spez fโ€™d it up. Iโ€™d say the magic was in the small and niche hobby/fandom subs, the communities in a lot of them were truly unique and vibrant.
