Man, what happened to plebbit from 2008 to now?

people on 4chan used to say reddit was cucked etc. but if you check posts from over 8 years ago, it was not that bad
now it's actually bad. the average redditor is not even a normie, like average people with average IQs that you usually encounter in real life. they are worse. they are mentally ill.
every other post on reddit has "i'm autistic" on it. being autistic is not wrong btw. but they're over represented on reddit for a reason. most of reddit is mentally ill and you can feel that they are just weird. for example they say things like trump is about to start having democrats shot. even "normal" left wing people don't say that.
it's because you need a history of never saying anything problematic or anything other people disagree with, or you are excluded from most subreddits or just shadowbanned. this filters out normal people and creates a vicious cycle where the typical redditor is just a retard and normal people don't want to be in there.
if people pick up on this and start using redditor as an insult, reddit will probably start dying out, like wearing a fedora and saying "le" did.

Anyway, can I have a little bit of the attention that I crave?

People credit him for reddit's free speech back then, which was awesome, nothing to say about that, but his peak and his primary focus was open sourcing academia papers.

this is something sci-hub, which is based in Russia is doing.
Most scientific articles are paywalled and often very high priced (30$ PER ARTICLE). Only the introduction and results, less than 1 page, are available for free.
This is incredibly bad for research all around, not just for the common folk. Sure, your university may have access to some journals but there are so many journals now it's impossible to keep up.
I've learned so much with sci-hub and i would've been 100x more ignorant and stupid if i lacked access to the full research papers.
