Well now karma and front page visibility manipulation have been monetized by corporate and political groups, so Iβd say things have changed for the worse
Subreddits have flourished. There used to not be any! A lot of the top posts on the front page have become much more meme-oriented, the duration of top posts erodes much, much faster than before (they used to be able to last an entire day, now it's usually hours at most), the GIFs are better, the rise of the mods has helped clean up a lot of inappropriate comments, the jokes are still as funny as before, and I think the overall mix of users is the same (the users tend to lean more left), and the search engine is still awful.
Haha, I guess I should say I'm a RECOVERING addict. I was on reddit so much I realized my priorities were out of order and that at the end of the day, I had nothing to show for the time I spent online. I took a long break, maybe around a year, and came back again, and darn it, I find myself checking it every day again, multiple times. I'll need to trim back again at some point, I'm sure.
Apparently Bush believes it is a prerogative of the president to not listen to the American people (polls) and by extension U.S. intelligence. He's probably on par with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad concerning listening to constituents.
Impeaching the president will cost We The People millions of dollars, and all it will be is a slap on the wrist to a man who's reputation is already tarnished and who will continue to be a rich, egocentric psychopath for the rest of his life no matter what we do, while providing a political ground for the next idiot to hold office to base his support. Don't do it.

this is just reddit leftist extremism at its best. useless and juvenile.
Sure Bush isn't in office, but another Republican is and it's ten years later, and here you are still spazzing on Reddit about Republicans in office. It's good to have life-long passions.
I'm sorry, but even if you're living paycheck to paycheck, $40/month isn't going to make a huge impact in your life. You know what will? Cutting services provided to you by the U.S. government (food stamps, medicaid, federal grants to non-profits, etc.) because a tax cut was signed into law creating a $1.5 trillion deficit over the next decade so millionaires could get a huge tax cut and some poor ass family struggling to survive can get $40/month.
Leftists, leftists never change. I'm sure if I go through your history (I won't) you didn't complain once about Obamas trillions added to the debt which was insanely more than these tax cuts.
As a wage slave 40 extra dollars a month would be cool as fuck. This guy seems like a typical upper middle class spoiled brat. Who the fuck says something dumb as that
He namechecks Ron Swanson as an insipiration and then goes right out of his way to denounce libertarianism right up front, just in case anybody gets the wrong idea or something. It's like he wrote this whole profile at gunpoint.
Except for a greater influx off even more idiots. See: digg exodus, 4chan migration, mass popularity like what which killed off many previous social platforms.
I think the thread that is linked here is a meta discussion of another thread with the same title. It seems like the thread that was linked here was meant to call out the original OP for karma whoring. If you look at the comments on both threads, most of them are calling out OP for karma whoring and remarking that these types of threads are useless.
This means that the population of reddit has actually changed for the worse.
Imagine being so mainstream you can have a reddit account for 10 years without it being shadowbanned/suspended by the admins for spreading too much truth.
Oh wow you really are some sort of reddit super hero (and by hero I mean retard), you literally follow people around reddit shouting at them about their alleged crimes! You are a brave one.
Imagine being so mainstream you can have a reddit account for 10 years without it being shadowbanned/suspended by the admins for spreading too much truth.
Hardly. Hes got more money, power and fame combined than anyone in the world and yet somehow you think he's stupid. Do you ever get tired of smelling your colon?
The only people who think he's stupid are morons. If you think that makes him famous what you are saying is that you belong to a very large group of morons.
Build your own reality for all I care. Fact remains you got upset that I mentioned intelligence and went for low hanging fruit. Speaks more to your own intelligence than mine. Maybe a little self esteem on your end as well.
When Romney or Guiliani defeats Hillary at the polls next year I'll have to give up completely on the United States. Democracy won't be completely dead at that point but it'll be beyond recovery.

/r/askcarsales because some mods can't handle disagreement that doesn't end in trying to punish someone.
/r/guns because I didn't properly give a submission statement fast enough
/r/askmenover30 because cyan likes to ban people for disagreements in entirely different subs
/r/everythingscience because astroturfing leftist "science" dot org sites is totally science
/r/geopolitics because some jackass and I got into a disagree but they decided to ban us both.
And
/r/law because more often than not mod teams do whatever they want
I try not to ever personally attack anyone but more than half my bans are from mods who couldn't seperate disagreement and their duties as mods.
