The ongoing rampant bigotry on any larger subreddit. Reddit is a hub of misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, racism etc. and the annoying ads as well but luckily ublock origin comes to rescue. You know what I remember something, when I was editing my avatar on Reddit, in just 10 minutes, ublock origin blocked about 22000 ads for me. Yes over 22000 ads.

Yeah moderation by humans plays an important part in maintaining a community. It took Reddit years to take hateful down subs like MGTOW, T_D etc. they will let hateful subs stay as long as it doesn't hurt their profit and public image.
