Show Notes

The Donald subreddit was the most controversial moral dilemma on the stained map of Reddit's history. One of the most active subs of all time, it was incredibly effective at spreading and disseminating memes about the soon-to-be-President - and it very quickly got a crooked reputation. Rife with misogyny, white supremacy, anti-Semitism, homophobia and transphobia, the questions stands: Why was it allowed to stay on the site for five long years? And did it have a role to play in Trump's shock win..? You can now subscribe to the Crowd Stories channel on Apple Podcasts for ad-free versions of this show.
