Got one of those “we want you to buy reddit stock because you reddited really hard!” emails… on an account I haven’t used for six years. When I did use it, I used it almost exclusively on a niche subreddit, too.
They’re scraping the bottom of the barrel already 
This is in the dunk tank to dunk on me for once using reddit
You do get some good comments/posts on sports subs; actual attempts at analysis or in-depth breakdowns of individual players. Even some all-timer shitposts.
But any gameday thread is an unending stream of sky-is-falling doomerism unless your team is up by 100, the general discussion about individual teams got more negative and hysterical each passing year, and mediocre memes were increasingly crowding out the shrinking good parts.
Just no vision from the site/mods about trying to encourage high-quality contributions and discourage annoying or grating stuff.
