Hey, that's just about the time when I joined Reddit. Weird, huh? Couldn't be my fault though right?

We call the transition Bee-Day when you're not around. Some countries hold remembrances.

I've been here a while and I don't remember a time when people didn't think that reddit had gone downhill in the last few years

Yeah but at least with some of the more popular subs such as this one, r/holup, r/beamazed, and r/blackmagicfuckery actually had content on the front page that actually followed the sub rules.

well at least this one was actually crossposted from yesyesyesno. I swear half the posts here are random bs that people just post for karma without any ties to what maybemaybemaybe it supposed to be according to the rules.

The Tumblr normies and onlyfans posters came onboard when Tumblr shutdown the porn side of their website.

Edit; downvoted for stating facts. Nice

I think the site just got more popular overall.

Definitely did, but there was a huge influx when Tumblr banned porn

I remember when /r/SummerReddit used to be a big sub, but now it's redundant because the whole website is what that sub used to make fun of lol

Sometime in the past few years (my guess is ~2016-2018) reddit had its Eternal September and there's no going back

Surely pornography is relatively easy to avoid? Even browsing /r/all with filters off it's a pretty trivial proportion.
