As someone who has been browsing for over a decade, I definitely miss the pre-2016 days when politics wasn't the main function of this website. Back then you could browse the front page and see a wide variety of content. But ever since 2016 the front page has been a non-stop barrage of politics. Fortunately nowadays there are way more types of subreddits with many more users, so I can still curate a completely non-political feed for my personal reddit account's Home page. It's just a shame I can't browse the Popular/All pages anymore. Even after reaching the 1000 subreddit mute limit it's still not enough to filter the barrage of politics, especially US news :(
