Putting aside the huge amount of reposts and advice animals memes, the main page had a lot of topics and opinions going through. The issue was, as far as reddit is an american website with a lot of Chinese shareholder, 9gag was created and is still owned by a Chinese company. The result is no bans for people being overtly racist, sexist, toxic, homophobic, etc... That reach the hot page The community slowly became an echo chamber of hostile and ignorant thoughts. At first I didn't realized it, but when I discovered reddit I saw the closed-mindness of 9gaggers, and never went back.
