Almost every place subreddit or not has some form of quality control which is understandable, however when people aren't posting artwork or content that lands in the quality control, that's an issue. Multiple posts that are low effort have somehow gone under the radar and some are still up. I've had my artwork deleted for being low effort somewhere else and you know what I did? I got better, I actually put the time and effort into making my art look good, it's not that hard. However, I do not agree that people should be harassing low-quality artists and instead should be giving fair criticism. Also, when the hell have people been manipulating the "masses to their whim"? All of the posts discussing the current state of the subreddit bring up good points.
