At its prime, it was the "front page of the internet" and the go to repository of aggregate internet knowledge. Despite its decline and mass exodus of users, most who remain clinging to it today have a know-it-all god complex. So now its just a cesspool of angry akshually neckbeards who think they know better. It also happens to be full of far-left "educated" types who are "smarter" than everyone else... drain a pool and you're left with sludge.
