I know this will seem like a meme, but unironically the 2016 election just tanked the entire site quality.

Reddit shutting down alt right subreddits dumped a bunch of confrontational normalfaggots onto /pol/ who then flocked to the big interest boards and derailed them into nothing but /pol/ brainrot arguments where every disliked aspect of a piece of media represents the death of western civilization, and the solution to anyone disagreeing is just hurling buzzwords. These ruined boards then leaked out into the smaller interest boards with the same approach and so now, ten years later you have newer people on /u/ from /a/ and what not who can't just hide fucking threads, think any instance of people liking a thing they don't is the death of the board and entire yuri genre, and respond to disagreement by just insisting the person must be some sleepercell hetfag attempting to subvert all of existence, and then older people on /u/ who have just embraced the combatant attitude from being exposed to other fallen boards.

It's unfortunate because for quite a long time, /u/ remained relatively chill, but y'know... you either die a hero, etc.
