> It was a cesspool

No it wasn't. It was an open, relatively honest and fun place that was more representative of the world around them then the politicized "safe space" cesspool that it became.

> What made reddit great was the era after this, when many subs were then removed for promoting hate

Did atheism, politics, news, worldnews, video and every major sub get banned? It just became concentrated and biased hate.

> This was the time when more people started to trust reddit more

No. It became a safe space and an echo chamber for a class of morons because it censored another group of morons.

What you mean is that you got to spew hate without any pushback. And that's why you liked it.
