reddit content was already going downhill, bunch of repost bots, comments being ripped from other commenters.
when the API changes were announced it started getting worse.
RIF worked for a while after the initial deadline in read only mode and then the content went reeealy downhill.
basically if it wasn't something like news/politics/sports where it's just content being linked to, but actual user generated content then it was just reposts, but like daily.
