MODERATORS
Removing posts for no reason. It was damn near impossible to post anything on reddit because it would get "removed by moderators". It was so heavily abused. Boost still showed removed posts on my feed and at least half the posts I opened were "removed" and almost all the good posts were always removed. Fuck reddit.

/r/jailbait 🤮
“What the title says…” I hate when people start the body of their post referring to the title of the post as if isn’t self-explanatory, that the two are related.
people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit
The pile of different dumb awards like "wholesome" or those expensive diamond things.
Too much politics. During the election on Reddit, everything was either ecstatic “Trump good!” or smug “Orange man bad!” posts with no actual content. My list of blocked subreddits ballooned, and that helped. Maybe I’ll have to do that here.

I really hope that the political communities don't devolve into just useless name calling.
What I like are the comments that discuss the nuances of politics. Why things happen the way they do and the strategies, OR even other people's takes on a topic.
What Reddit turned into was is an ass or is <Stupid/fascists/baby killers> Or is too old and stupid. Nothing of substance just writing the same thing someone else wrote in the last post. Got really boring.

Some subreddit that don't let you post.... question. Why? That's the stupidest thing ever.

Ads and rage bait content farm
People commenting the next part of a song.
It didn't bother me until someone else pointed out that it's pretty cringe, and ever since then I absolutely agree. Like why? We understand you know the lyrics of a very popular song. Why do you need to play a long and type comment the next verse?

This is (mostly) only in car subreddits, but actual car owners getting insulted and ridiculed for their new car choice by teenagers. I've seen this before on Reddit and this triggers me to no end.
Eh if you get a crossover SUV instead of a more practical and cheaper station wagon, hatchback or sedan that gives you more space and features for less money, I will still ridicule you.

Questions that are almost certainly article writers from Buzzfeed fishing for content… wait a second…
r/thathappened or any variation of the above, or even stupider, one of those posting the name of the sub and some goofball below asks to be included in the picture of the post that they uploaded to said subreddit
