Reddit – The Shithole of the Internet
I remember the time when Reddit actually was the frontpage of the internet. Nowadays it's being hijacked by self promoting influencers, streamers and their social media teams trying desperately to create clicks while unpaid mods are overwhelmed by the incoming amount of clickbait, reaction-crap, and misinformation. Most of the mods actually care more about boosting their alt-accounts for resale. And users seem to up- and down-vote based on opinion and not any more on content and quality.
Since Reddit is an YC offspring like HN, I'd like to suggest updating HN's usage terms to avoid this service becoming too a victim of it's own success. Maybe something where HN trademarks it's name and makes sure mainstream media won't report about it without prior approval.
