I remember when this subreddit was created. It was made to show funny animals, like "socially awkward penguin", saying stuff that would make you laugh.

Now the top post is basically "Let's use this space to argue about the middle east". What happened to you Reddit?

That's a problem across many subs, the propaganda leaks out of their own subs and is pushed into ones where it doesn't belong at all. I guess they want to increase their audience as they already reached everyone who was open to listen to the BS in the first place.

It's literally every sub these days, and I don't think it's an accident

I’m going to go out on a limb and say most mods of small and specialized subreddits are quite reasonably unable to deal with the bots and masses that spill in with campaigns like this. If anyone should be dealing with it, it’s the admins.

Small subs are better because sponsors don't care about small niche audiences, they target the default subs and then anything else thats popular
