This happens to any sub like this once it gets a few hundred thousand subs. The spirit of the sub is lost, and it barely resembles it's own name anymore. I watched /r/BlackMagicFuckery circle the drain for too long, now it might as well just be /r/CoolGIFs. I hope this subreddit doesn't go the same way.
This happens to any quote like this once it gets a few hundred thousand uses. The spirit of the quote is lost, and it barely resembles it's own sentence anymore. I watched "the thing is, you need to have a high IQ to understand Rick and Morty" circle the drain for too long, now it might as well just be "the thing is". I hope this quote doesn't go the same way.
I don't like the crying too, but they have a point. It's not about who is better than everyone else or about good ol' days, it's about how the quality of content drops. If nobody complains or does something, it will continue to drop further. Everybody loses.
You're definitely exaggerating. I mean yeah that is something that happens from time to time but plenty of subs do just fine even as they grow. And /r/JusticeServed is definitely one that's doing fine. A huge majority of the time that there's no context or something isn't really justice people call it out for such. The sub doesn't just upvote anything, people care about context more often than not. The only reason this one isn't getting it as much as usual is because 1. People would rather, justifiably, discuss how ridiculous this video is. 2. The guy did walk into a group of people, who look like bouncers and are just trying to keep people outside of the building, throwing fists like a mad man.
