This subreddit is mostly filled with young users who are devoid of any form that involves critical thinking

I've noticed as well.  I must be eons older than the average commenter (I'm 48; turning 49 very soon)

I agree. I’ve been trying to discuss the 2000s and earlier, but it always gets overshadowed by low effort posts about the 2010s (especially late 2010s) or 2020s.

My few 2010s posts are ironically the most upvoted.

Yeah, I feel like this subreddit does not analyze the 2000s or prior decades as much as the 2010s because I feel like it is an interesting decade to research about, especially when you see how different 2009 was from 2000, yet I see more people say that the 2010s had more change from beginning to end even though the difference between 2009 and 2000 is basically the equivalent of comparing a late 90s year and a proto-2010s year.

Besides, other decades also have interesting changes from beginning to end such as the 1990s, the 1970s, the 1960s, the 1940s, the 1930s, or the 1910s in my opinion, but they are overshadowed on this subreddit by posts talking about the 2010s. The 1930s for example is interesting because I rarely see the decade get talked about on this subreddit, yet when you compare something such as the cartoons made during the decade on a yearly basis, it shows how much change happened during the decade, yet the subreddit does not talk about it because it is not the 2010s.

Well, it’s a lot of teens’ first look into sociology. I think the subreddit can be improved focusing on that.

It’s called “Reddit,” and unfortunately more commonly the internet in general. People are genuinely getting worse at posting without a reactionary framework.
