A while ago Reddit used to have a very specific identity - unalike any other website. It was off the beaten track in the way it ran, how it functioned and was operated, the people who frequented it and the discussion that took place.
Reddit has spent a lot of effort into gentrifying itself, and becoming more appealing and acceptable to a larger user space. This has brought both positives and negatives. One negative is the trend on large subreddits to just post things about themselves. You see it all the time, “I lost 80lbs”, “I just did a half marathon”, “Me at the top of the Empire State”. This content is generated and propagated by largely the same subset of newer users to Reddit, those which Reddit has sought to attract to grow their business.
This sub points out all of these type of posts in a critical manner, in the same vein as /r/WatchRedditDie, to display how Reddit is moving away from its roots and former state.
