You're not alone! I feel exactly the same way. Not only the submission and upvoting of mean-spirited, tasteless content, but the utter sense of entitlement when someone tries to remove it: "it's our right to watch videos of people dying and being maimed!"

At the same time, it seems impossible to find any sentence on Reddit that isn't just a few expletives mixed together with a stock catch phrase.

That combination (ie: of depravity and vapid language) makes me snort with disgust at the idea that people conduct "serious debate" on Reddit.

Maybe we should just embrace the concept of an Internet License, after all.
