Too much politics. During the election on Reddit, everything was either ecstatic “Trump good!” or smug “Orange man bad!” posts with no actual content. My list of blocked subreddits ballooned, and that helped. Maybe I’ll have to do that here.

Some subreddit that don't let you post.... question. Why? That's the stupidest thing ever.

Power Mad Mods. The ones in r/StarTrek were horrible, banning people for any “negativity” and actually banning people for what they said in other subreddits.
people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit
A better and less toxic mod relationships to the common users on their subreddits. Dear god its like most of them think they are "King of the World" my brother in Christ you are working for free on website making millions of your labor and you ain't getting nothing. Get your head out of ass.

Karma
I really hope that the political communities don't devolve into just useless name calling.
What I like are the comments that discuss the nuances of politics. Why things happen the way they do and the strategies, OR even other people's takes on a topic.
What Reddit turned into was is an ass or is <Stupid/fascists/baby killers> Or is too old and stupid. Nothing of substance just writing the same thing someone else wrote in the last post. Got really boring.

I don't care about ads on Reddit. They aren't intrusive, although I don't like fake "organic content". I think the worst thing is seeing the same thing over and over again in the same sub, being reposted by bots. It's OK if it's from time to time, but they don't even try to change the title.

Awards. At least in Apollo you could hide them.
This is (mostly) only in car subreddits, but actual car owners getting insulted and ridiculed for their new car choice by teenagers. I've seen this before on Reddit and this triggers me to no end.

r/Piracy’s megathread was very useful
