Speaking as a two-time former moderator of /r/politics, you have absolutely nothing to gain from spending time in /r/politics.

I got there two days before they decided to ban pretty much everybody for having, like, opinions. Then they decided to let Mother Jones back in, but to explicitly ban anything from Kevin Drum because he was a, and I quote, "spammer." Why? Because entitled twenty-somethings make their own rules and Reddit rewards them for it.

Spending time in /r/politics will actually make you stupider.
