If you were to look at this subs front page, you might be fooled into thinking everything is normal. However, browsing the normal Reddit homepage or /r/all it's very clear something has changed recently.
The majority of the posts I'm seeing are posts with 0 upvotes and they are always a really terrible, rage inducing takes like "rap is terrible" "I don't like Beyonce" "Kendrick Lemar is overrated".
And look, I'm not saying any of those things are necessarily wrong, it's a matter of opinion obviously. But the only discussion they're generating is negative. The algorithm has clearly changed and posts are now getting prioritised by engagement/rage instead of upvotes.
Surely I'm not the only one who has noticed this. And it's definitely not exclusive to /r/music. Same over on /r/AskReddit (which I've had to unsubscribe from due to it being even worse over there with the US election going on).
What can be done here? Would love some feedback so I know I'm not going crazy.
