my memories of /r/economics is shaky, but I was active back then.
I'm pretty sure the "great mod purging" happened around this time...maybe 2010 even. Regardless I unsubscribed from /r/economics once the commies had completed the coup.
The reddit of 2009 vs 2012 were entirely different things. It went from a 80% libertarian / ron paul / austrian economics place to a 95% MSM / commie / keynesian fest

It's wild reading the (negative) comments in regards to Bitcoin from then, only to realize how gigantically they fucked-up not partaking 🤣

Was it a shithole in 2011?, because that's when the content was written.

You could just post a screenshot and will be fine. But pushing people back to that shithole is lame. REDDIT IS FUCKED. GET OVER IT.
