I thought this was Reddit, not LinkedIn. I’m glad to see this subreddit bouncing back after a phase dominated by spam and unrelated content, particularly all the clan stuff.
However, I’ve noticed a significant increase in posts where people are promoting their questionable businesses or ideas in what feels like a sales pitch. I wasn’t aware that was allowed here, and it definitely seems to contradict the subreddit’s rules. Additionally, some of the recruitment practices being suggested are pretty terrible and might even cross into illegal territory—though that’s a separate issue.
Is this subreddit on a downward spiral again? How many active moderators do we have? Are we still adhering to the rules? I know u/chazman69 is around and engaged, but I realize they can’t manage everything single-handedly.
I’m not sure why I felt compelled to write this—it’s probably just a rant or an invitation for a discussion about where this sub is headed.
I’d be happy to lend a hand if needed; with nearly 10k members here, I’m sure others would be willing to pitch in as well.
Honestly, we could use more lighthearted, entertaining content like Ed Hunter’s posts, and less of Oleg Vishnepolsky pushing yet another AI-driven CV screening tool that seems like complete nonsense.
What do you think?

I totally get where you’re coming from! It’s frustrating to see the sub shifting away from the original intent and turning into a space filled with sales pitches and questionable advice. The rise in spam and self-promotion can definitely overshadow the valuable discussions we all joined for.
It’s essential for the mods to enforce the sub rules and maintain quality control, so hopefully they can step up to address those concerns. Having more active moderators could help curtail the spam and bring back the genuine discussions we used to enjoy.
And I love your idea about having more fun, light-hearted content like Ed Hunter! Balancing the serious talks with some humor could help revitalize the community spirit. If you’re willing to volunteer, that’s awesome—more hands could definitely help in keeping things in line! Here’s hoping we can steer things back in a better direction together.
