Including typos, or just misinformation in post title to get correcting comments, "tricking" the algorithm
Removing posts for no reason. It was damn near impossible to post anything on reddit because it would get "removed by moderators". It was so heavily abused. Boost still showed removed posts on my feed and at least half the posts I opened were "removed" and almost all the good posts were always removed. Fuck reddit.
“What the title says…” I hate when people start the body of their post referring to the title of the post as if isn’t self-explanatory, that the two are related.
Sorting by controversial. It became an unhealthy habit for me. Almost like I was enjoying my anger.
I'd love more political debate without censorship from either side. I want to hear every argument either side has, even if the argument is dumb. I want to hear the rebuttals people give for the beliefs I have, because that is the only way to check myself.
I would like regulation for these discussions to be more about personal insults, rather than if an idea is deemed too offensive or not (which is arbitrary to begin with). When a debate devolves into insults, there's no point in continuing the conversation anyway.
All the “helpful” bots filling the comments with annoying messages.
People commenting the next part of a song.
It didn't bother me until someone else pointed out that it's pretty cringe, and ever since then I absolutely agree. Like why? We understand you know the lyrics of a very popular song. Why do you need to play a long and type comment the next verse?
/r/jailbait 🤮
Ads and rage bait content farm
Any more beans.
Mass downvotes for saying anything that goes against a set narrative and that annoying oh no song.
people bot-posting for karma or similar bullshit
Some subreddit that don't let you post.... question. Why? That's the stupidest thing ever.

Punctuation-free one-word posts so people can be involved without having to participate.
"Sexy sexers of Reddit, what's the sexiest sex you ever sexed?"
"AITA for saying a single unkind word to the man/woman who keeps me as a literal slave, beats old ladies and kicks puppies in the street?"
