Not so much the classic car sub, that was mostly folks arguing about what defines a classic car, or folks reminiscing about thier first cars.

I think it’s just the nature of the Internet being predominantly English speaking, b3ta.com went the same way quite quickly

Yeah, it started to spill over so subs like r/classiccars and r/dogpictures.

Yeah, 2014/2015 it slowly turned into a bot posting hell scape on a majority of subs.

And the trend towards capacitive buttons in place of switches, burying things in multiple menus is a real pain for those that wear glasses only for reading.
