I use reddit all the time and look at none of these things. Despite some obnoxious or downright terrible subs, it's still a useful or entertaining site for folks of many interests.


There’s a lot of kids and teens on Reddit. I’m glad I was a teen on the Internet in the walled garden of AOL, so all the dumb and hormone-driven things I said there are probably lost on a hard drive in a landfill somewhere.


I'm glad to be part of the pre-internet generation where the limit to our cringe is a fleeting feeling of embarrassment while hazily remembering it, rather than having it played back in high definition at some inopportune moment.


I think as adults we should be able to recognize that we all went through this and look at it with a little compassion and understanding instead of holding it up for ridicule. As you say, people will feel embarrassed about it enough in the future.


/r/pics: Blatant political grandstanding mixed in with images meant to be evocative and establish mental association. Here's a smiling photo of Obama. Remember Obama? Picture of rednecks in pickup trucks with Trump flags, next to a photo of Taliban in trucks with flags.

/r/politics: wanton hyperbole, plain and simple.

"Screenshots of Tweets" Subreddits

/r/Antiwork: Literally every problem, shortcoming, or thing you don't like is ultimately because of capitalism.

/r/LateStageCapitalism: Same as above, but we need at least two subreddits about this to really hammer the point home.

/r/WhitePeopleTwitter: Leftist hot-takes du jour, as well as well-trodden reposts.

/r/BlackPeopleTwitter: Leftist hot-takes but posted by 'verified' reddit users.

/r/MurderedByWords: Tomi Lahren and Strawmen being mocked via tweet

/r/MurderedByAOC: Pretty much any AOC tweet posted by u/IrlOurPresident

/r/AOC: Just in case you haven't seen u/IrlOurPresident's post on the front page yet.
