Reddit-related This sub fucking sucks now, who agrees?

I don't know what's happened to it, but all I see are fucking endless sex questions or shit about sex. What happened to actual too afraid to ask questions and not fucking veiled attempts at promoting someones Onlyfans.

Mods, you'll delete this I know but I hope you take heed that this sub has become a cesspool of what it used to be.

Dunno when it started but I either posted here or nostupidquestions which has the same feel. The question was something like "should I wait a second when the microwave stops before putting my hand in? like are there residual microwaves still bouncing around"

and pretty much everyone called me stupid.

I think that that (and related issues) are a bigger problem than what bothers OP.

It seems the bulk of the answers are jokes, insults, or luke-warm "it depends" nonsense that don't really answer the question. On more than one occasion, I've wanted to answer someone's question only to give up when there was already so much useless crap in the comments that it seemed pointless.

If you see these, please report them under Rules2 and 3 respectively. We do enforce them, but this is the sort of thing we rely heavily on reports for.

Very often people will complain.. and then we go through and look and nothing got reported.

I will try and keep that in mind. Reddit's lack of feedback on reports makes it easy to forget that they actually work.
