Notice there is only 1 full headline (from /r/NoStupidQuestions) visible, it doesn’t even show the full post. There are 3 of those “trending” boxes but only 2 of those even fit their headlines because they are like 3 words long, they cut off anything longer including the description

I originally became addicted to Reddit because of how streamlined it was to skim dozens of headlines and pick from lots of content, seems they have decided content is not something they want to provide anymore :/

    Topics on the side. “Gaming, Sports, Business, Crypto…” Reddit trying really hard to pretend it’s not just around for porn and memes. Also, crypto lol. Tech bro a little harder, spez.

      Dude idk crypto was fucking DROWNING r/all for a long time, maybe still is I eventually blocked it, so I get why they added it. And I think the type of person who would stick around on reddit or start now would still be into/interested in starting crypto.

      I hope it is obvious that is not a compliment.

        I basically blocked every single crypto community. But around the time of the GameStop bullshit, a LOT more of them started cropping up. I thought I was safe, then two days later another one pops up. And it was always the same non-discussion bullshit.

        Worse than a scam, crypto is a cult.

      Yeah, that really feels like there is a huge disconnect with their core user-base 🤦🏻‍♂️

      True, at this point they might as well rebrand to PM&C: porn, memes and crypto
