about 50% content is like this, no matter what view you select. I think /r/pics has the right idea; it is so dominating. Other subs should change their post to be like this (with their own messages) I think.
Also, what sub did spez mod in 2008?

I think the comments said he was a mod of jailbait. Yeah… tells a lot about the guy.
As much as I hate this guy, could we please stick to the facts and criticise him for things that he actually did?
From what I can see, spez did not moderate jailbait. He was added by one of the other mods because back then you could just add people as mods without their consent. I have yet to see proof that he ever actively participated in that sub.
So please, go ahead, dislike him for being a lying jerk who‘s actively killing reddit but don’t jump on something that someone else did without asking.
I agree. I will continue despising him for being a nutjob prepper, restoring the KiA sub after the founder deleted it (because even he saw it as a toxic shithole) and protecting the brigaders from t_D because “vAlUaBlE DiScUsSiOn”.
That god damn sub was the start of the fall of that site. They were openly allowed to brigade the rest of the sub, manipulate voting, and spew constant hate speech and blatant misinformation, all so spez could keep his new bots and Russian trolls. Reddit really never recovered from it and I’d go as far to say that site was one of the main causes of the insurrection.
I might be wrong but my memory suggests that Reddit was basically forced to eventually act in the removal of that sub and they let it and many other questionable subs linger and prosper for a long time until it became too big to ignore.
Then let’s focus on that instead of made up accusations.
They usually let them go until something blew up on mainstream news. For jailbait, it got in national TV news. Then it came down. Before that? Not a peep.
Out of the handful of good things CNN did, demonstrating the failure of libertarianism and getting r/jailbait banned is near the top.
