When CTH got 86’d I quit using Reddit for anything other than a source of up-to-date technical info on stuff like 3d printers, automotive problems, plumbing questions and the like. Despite my dislike of Reddit and Redditors in general it really was a place to get good info from. Something happened slowly over the last year or so- good technical info has become hard to find. Maybe an algorithm got updated, something like that. But now, the technical info I look for is buried under miles of cat posts, people posting about whether or not they are attractive, and the like. Reddit has ALWAYS sucked, but the ability to find good info from time to time outweighed my severe dislike of everything else.
It’s like… not even good anymore? When I look at the front page it just makes me sad because it’s padded with so much trash.

Not anymore. It’s just full time trash now.
