Distressing views Hostile, racist, distressing content and commenting. Something has happened there, some alienation in user base or something. It's not funny anymore. Although can't say is it all social media or just 9gag.

Heavily censored free speech Heavily censored free speech. Admins are insecure and shadow ban your comment from public if you mention words like reddit, bot, admin, imgur, repost, stolen, trending, tumblr, upvote, www., .com and many more. There are 10 times better meme sites and the only reason why people visited this site was free speech.

Lots of racists openly discussing their… Lots of racists openly discussing their weird mindsets and can be found everywhere on this site. Hidden and open advertising make the site unusable for the last bits of funny meme or gifs.

The most toxic social media experience ever! My brief time with 9GAG had to be the worst social media experience by far. The platform is polluted with hate and is not a welcoming online environment for newcomers. It is infested with bullying, hate, and trolls who do not appreciate uniqueness, individuality, or creativity. It a rigid platform that does not welcome forms of creativity other than memes, whatever they see as "funny," political posts, whatever is "trending," and various forms of hate. I would never recommend this platform to anyone who is a creative who is not a cookie cutter, carbon copy of everything else that's "in" today. It also is an inconvenience of a site as it will not allow me to post more than video, nor can I post more than one comment, even if it's a simple thank you. I was already somewhat discouraged due to another social media experience but my time with 9GAG has left me feeling even more discouraged. This toxic environment is inexcusable and unacceptable. It would certainly not be good for anyone who is easily discouraged.

Extremely hateful posts and memes Extremely hateful and racist posts and comments seep through all of the time. A toxic echo chamber when it once was just a platform to go and laugh about random stuff.
