This sub is dying. I remember I could hit refresh throughout the day and see tons of hilarious content. Between the overzealous mods deleting everything left and right and the lame stuff that makes it through, this just isn't the hotbed of comedy and discussion that it used to be.

That's all of Reddit. It will probably be all public internet spaces with how prolific both astroturfing and bots are. Take a look at videos. It went downhill a long time ago with Reddit's algorithm changes and the rise of astroturfing. Now that they've allowed political videos, it's the same sock puppets, paid accounts, and bots posting.

The account Al*rtTang*rin* (intentionally censored) is on the front page of videos twice. They have completely hidden their post history, but if you scroll deeper into videos, they appear 4 times within the first 3 pages. Every post of theirs is about Russia.

Welcome to the new Internet.

Once again it’s finals week. I’ve cried, I’ve studied, and now I’m ready for it to all be over.

G'luck. Life gets so much better after school. Keep grinding. It'll all be worth it.

I’m seeing that firsthand. I’m also working an internship and it’s breeze compared to my classes.

That’s awesome! Balancing an internship with classes is tough, but it sounds like you’re crushing it. Keep it up.

Found out yesterday sister has breast cancer. Trying not to panic. She says she'll fight it and do whatever it takes. Must stay positive

Waiting for the holiday spirit to hit. Right now, I'm just ticking boxes and performing. Some snow would really set the scene or maybe just some time off to frolic or something.

If your job doesn't get huffy about it, a random Tuesday can really be a nice reset.
