    Nobody did anything about it right away, without consequences to speak of it got progressively worse. Same as the decline of any forum really.

    I tried to call it out years ago, I got backlash. They want it to be a cesspool, probably because of ad revenue. 🤷

      Wow I thankfully somehow missed that whole thing. I’m surprised, with how I’m chronically online and all. I only ever knew it as reddit’s main image hosting site back when I used reddit
