I remember reading a thread about how they purged wrongthink from r/cringe and relied on Bardfag and his butt buddies to protect the sub from better run competition. This doesn't surprise me at all.
What was disgusting about r/cringe was the delusion that their set of opaque rules deterring towards miscreants was clever. The specific rule was "cringe situation must involve 2 individuals". I don't take issue with wanting to keep low-effort noise out (ex. r/wholesomememes or 95% of r/all), but the patronizingly polite doublethink, that these self-congratulatory hall-monitors and their camp-followers adopt, stinks worse than shriveled taint.
Their writeup was on the same meta discussion subreddit I got bot-banned from for posting a comment a year covid was $current_thing.
