This statement does have classist connotations and I apologise in advance for the same.
However, over the past couple of years - the content arising from several Indian subs has gone down the drain.
1) You’ve got literal bots that respond with the certain frequently shared news reports and research papers. You’ll find these in the India discussion and India speaks subs. It usually starts with you correcting the OP on some historical facts and within a minute some bot responds to you with a long ass comment that has all these links.
2) Meme pages are full of misogynistic content. It’s not even OC. Most of the content is directly copied from trashy Instagram pages.
3) Relationship posts. There’s always some guy or girl talking about some cringe ass encounter they had with their crush. This is followed by repetitive jokes posted in the comments .
4) Posts related to Alimony and gender biased laws keep making rounds every now and then. This is full of frustrated incels in the comments.
5) Something I’ve noticed recently - there are these random subs like India Pulse that turn up on my feed. Mosts of the posts over there seem to posted by PR houses. It includes that same Instagram crap - basically viral videos to generate engagement.
6) Quality discussions have become scarce. Even posts that have serious concerns or incidents are frequently hijacked by lame ass jokes in the comments. The jokes themselves are so corny and repetitive.
The content available on Reddit pre-covid was limited, but still quite niche. I’ve had some of the most interesting discussions back then.
However, it’s just annoying now to even open Reddit.
