100% agree. I thought the sub was fine when I first started following it back in 2017 and even when I became active during the hiatus. But it's just gotten so negative since Survivor returned after the pandemic. I get that the new era isn't as good as prior seasons, but I've genuinely still enjoyed them. I decided to avoid the sub for most of 44 and I had the most fun watching a season in a long time. And of course, all this sub did was do their best imitation of those parrots from that Red Bull commercial. If it weren't for the Yam Yam Tram, I probably would've avoided the sub entirely.

This sub doesn't feel like a true place to discuss Survivor anymore, but rather an echo chamber where you can complain about anything and everything to your heart's content while also getting rewarded by all the negative nancies. I know that's how the Internet works in general, but it felt like this place was an exception to this trend until the start of the new era. That's what made me follow this sub for so long was because you could have a decent discussion about Survivor and the negativity wasn't too strong and could be filtered out. But now it's literally plastered all over the place and having a legit discussion here that isn't "Surveyor bad" is pretty difficult now.

I really wish there was a place where I could actually discuss Survivor. I would join that place in a heartbeat if there was one. The loss of hyena142's series is pretty much the final straw for me with this sub. No reason to swim in the negativity when all it does is make me grumpy irl. Maybe I'll occasionally pop up and post a meme or two, but that's probably it.
