Remove politics from /r/pics!
After /r/politics was removed as a default subreddit, /r/pics has replaced it. As of 1/21/17, every single post on the front of /r/pics was about US politics. About half of the posts showing protesters or people holding up signs are improperly tagged, so even a user who tries to filter out politics will still see these posts.
/r/pics has become the place to post your generic sign pictures, or low quality pictures of celebrities. /r/pics has become less interesting than my Facebook feed. THIS SHOULD NOT BE!
Hopefully, with enough signatures, this petition will make the moderators of /r/pics wake up and realize that the state of their subreddit is appalling. There needs to be drastic changes, NOW, or we will petition to have /r/pics removed as a default, and replaced with a better alternative.
