    A LOT more Twitter ragebait, but not an astronomical amount more than what the site already had. /r/all was largely just many clones of /r/funny wearing a mask, or clonea of WhitePeopleTwitter (ragebait central) wearing a mask.

    Sad to see AccidentalRennaissance also joined the ranks as yet another /r/funny clone.
