It’s hard to put my finger on the exact problems but it feels worse than the typical decline of large subs.

This thread posted today in response to the protest shows a lot of what I mean: https://old.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/14cbtjv/who_here_is_in_favor_of_just_replacing_these_shit/

Mob mentality, selfishness, scapegoating, lack of critical thinking… It’s just so toxic compared to where it was even a year ago.

I’m excited at the prospect of building a more positive, welcoming place here to discuss the NBA.

    I think it is just literally the usual decline of a large sub. You always get low effort and drama bubbling to the top as the userbase grows.

      Reddit itself became too popular and attracted too casual crowd and too many of them. I never thought there would be a popular celebrity gossip subreddit, but they have several now.
