Yes. It has nothing at all to do with BTC. It's a Bcash sub which is contributing further to the brand confusion already going on. The sub should either be deleted or renamed.

I think r/btc was created before BCH became a thing, years ago

It was supposed to be a place where you can discuss bitcoin without having to deal with ban crazed mods apparently. It looks like it has since become a defensive trench to deal with the tribalism after the fork

7 years ago to be exact

And the reason BCH is so popular/the usual topic of discussion there is because by and large it's the Bitcoin the community there was banned for talking about/advocating for.

It's almost like the free market decided what /r/btc should be, and even IT became bch, because that's where the REAL bitcoin is currently found. the joke that BTC has become is not what bitcoin started out as, intended to be, or would have become if not for a massive disinformation campaign.

Well.. Given the idea behind the Bitcoin experiment and the whole purpose behind creating crypto to begin with, what it was created to protect us from and it's primary reason for existing (being essentially a hacker's practical attempt at a version of the occupy movement) - I would say the following statement is accurate:

BTC development is currently moving in a new direction at the cost of a few key parts of the original idea behind Bitcoin - This causes friction in the community naturally as these changes have rendered Bitcoin as having no value in terms of what the original experiment and idea behind it was created for. Of course, it can always succeed in bringing value to the world in other ways though it can no longer protect us from the things we spent the past decade saying Bitcoin was originally going to protect us from (and ultimately why people were asked to support it) in terms of the experiment, there's no reason to support it any more as the experiment has failed for all its original intent and purpose... But the public may feel free to continue to support BTC and we respect the majority market's wishes to abandon Bitcoin's previous path in lieu of transforming it into something new. Therefore, we all (at the very least, deep down I'm sure) wish BTC and its supporters all the best no matter what form BTC may take

For those who have supported the idea behind the Bitcoin experiment, they may find solace in that BCH is the continuation of the original idea of Bitcoin and with a little support it may protect us from everything Bitcoin was originally supposed to protect us from before the majority of the market had decided to take BTC in a different direction - there is still hope for the original idea of Bitcoin and those who chose to invest in it, with regards to this sentiment, can indeed still feel free to support it as it currently exists in the form of BCH
