Well, like all platforms that rely on growth and hype, they come to the very same cross roads that all of the platforms come to. And thats where they have to decide on staying true to their mission and brand, or sell out to the trap of lowering their standards for quantity over quality. And you end up with all kinds of "fun” and irrelevant, or completely baseless tabloid style posts that are debunked in the first replies and then it's the old "oh well it's probably true though, so let's repeat it as fact!" type of stuff all over the board.

Content! Content! Content! It ruined news platforms on t. v. decades ago. Even if they wanted to only report the truth, they quickly found there wasn't enough "true" things to fill up 24 hrs news cycles. And a whole industry was waiting on it to go 24/7. So they went with whatever gets clicks. And that alone has ruined the whole enterprise, except for the owners. Seems like integrity would dictate the practice of posting trifling unsubstantiated exaggerations would be verboten here. But alas, egos need to be fed.
