What's happened to this sub?

OP, I don't know you but as someone who first subbed TRP before it had 100 subscribers, this is an inevitable part of what happens to a sub as it gains popularity. I'm sure you've heard of the saying that a person is smart but people are stupid. As we start getting more and more subscribers, the ratio of people who know what content to submit and what content not to converges to zero. And you can't really expect the mods to mod as if it were a full time job. I remember when I first joined, I would read every link and learn something from almost every post. Now we have people who post kind of mundane, off topic, or simply rehashed stuff; people who submit self posts questioning basic red pill tenants; and of course, trolls masquerading as people who are "genuinely curious" about whether men could really believe this stuff as if we're all collectively going to be like oh shit you know what I guess I don't think this, and then unsubscribe. It saddens me that now I skip about half of the things posted to hear, posts read days after they are posted because they're just boring or irrelevant. And I'm praying to god that we don't start getting field reports like r/seduction because it gets old listening to people have small, mom consequential victories. At this point OP, people like you and I can't really depend on this sub for interesting reads. We kind of have to go find it on its own.

Mainstream access. Shit happens.

In reality, if you are truly redpill, you don't need this sub, or Dalrock, or Heartiste, or thespearhead, or angryharry, FredOnEverything, bodybuilding.com, or any other bullshit that's been around since 1995 or so when the internet got big.

If you are truly redpill, you know what the world is like, you know what you want, and you are willing to go out and get it, no matter the setbacks you face, romantically or professionally.

As this sub gains in notoriety it inevitably would draw the attention of its foes & as such many of them come here to troll us & try to "put us in our place" etc It can be a little disappointing at first but once you understand why this is happening it should be seen as a compliment that they would put such energy into tearing us down instead of building their pathetic selves up

A huge problem is that a lot of guys think that red pill and seduction are the same.

The only thing lowering the quality here is concern trolling. The mods here have been kind enough to invest time categorizing each post so you can filter by post type. Only interested in theory posts? Click the theory button.

Examples?

Have you tried downvoting a post in this subreddit? That button just does not exist.

For a subreddit about truth there sure isn't much room for disagreement.
