It’s growing one. The dislike of bots and one-liner posts seems like it could actually stick around as a form of etiquette, although it’s too early to really say. A lot of readers will remember the poop post a couple years on, too, which counts.
The political bent and heavy tech-orientation are just a reflection of who the early adopters (and devs) are. Ditto for any extra civility or insight on the part of the people posting.
I feel like Ask Reddit is at fault for that one. They changed their rules to have the entire question fit in the title. Before that, you were allowed to have the question expanded upon in the post.
Not sure if you remember/were around for it, but I think this was in a response to AskReddit titles being a story followed by a question instead of just a question.
E.g. dear reddit, today my dog killed my flowers. What’s a time you were emotionally devastated?
Don’t see why you couldn’t have limited to a question in the title and allowed story time in the post though
Agreeded. I remember a lot of posts being “Girls, what do you like with boys” and then the next post would be “Boys, what do you like with girls”. Rinse and repeat in some other flavour with more or less sex.
