It’s a fine line though - the “Best Of” subreddits are meta and some of the best on the site (eg BoLA and BoRU)

Meta fine. Meta drama bad. subredditdrama, shit__say, etc.

Fair enough. Then I agree wholeheartedly!

I liked bestof at first. I'm not sure if it got more transparent or I just started to see through it easier but it stopped becoming the best of reddit. There was some good items, but it ended up being far too many long winded comments that were half correct but agreed with the dominant view.

Yeah I think r/bestof was probably one of the weaker “best of” subreddits tbh.

I can also think of some terrible subreddits that were banned that should never exist again
