It's similar to how r/CryptoCurrency became (even more) unreadable once they launched the MOON tokens. It's a classic case of perverse incentives leading to a degradation in quality.

People were basically spamming the subreddit with tons of copypasta low-quality links from aggregators like Crypto Panic; they would dump these crappy links to collect MOON but not engage in any way.

I realised that there is little point in bothering to check it any more.
