It's not behind the scenes when the most popular subreddits were such things as "c*ntown". It didn't get better or worse. It's always been a nazi shithole. Those weren't the dark cornerse of the site it was the top results on Google back when it was a thing to show it. Those subreddit could regularly be seen on r/all.

This meta is what I'm talking about. People talking like none of that existed or it was too obscure for anyone to have known.
