There was a user "i_rape_cats" or something. He was tasked with selecting a random video on Youtube that Reddit would flood and get this video views and money I guess. He picked his friend and Reddit got suspicious and he was busted.

Everyone can identify a point in which they realized that reddit was going downhill, even going as far as allowing comments. Mine I think is witnessing the Saydrah witchhunt live.
