⚡️😡 NEW - Research suggests Reddit has become more negative over time, and there may be a surprisingly simple reason behind it.
Researchers looked at more than 2 billion Reddit comments from over 2,000 communities.
They found that the longer a community exists, the more negative it tends to become.
The same thing happens in individual threads: the longer the conversation goes on, the more negative the comments get.
