After scouting the “New” tab for 48 minutes, I’ve developed a 3-step plan to fix the “Fixing Tanking” meta:
- The Post-Cap: Every user is limited to one “How to fix tanking” post per 82 games. If you go over the limit, your account is relegated to r/Euroleague for a season.
- The Reddit Draft Lottery: If you want to post a suggestion about the draft, you have to enter a lottery. Low-effort posters have a 14% chance of actually being able to hit “Submit.” Everyone else gets their post converted into a 400-word essay on why the 2006 Charlotte Bobcats were actually underrated.
- The “Pre-In” Tournament: Before your post hits the main feed, it must be reviewed by a panel of 8 random fans from the team currently tanking the hardest. If they find your solution “unrealistic,” your post is traded to a dead sub for a 2029 second-round pick and cash considerations.
We need to stop the race to the bottom of the front page. Let’s get back to what really matters: arguing about why my GOAT is better than yours based on TS% and vibes.
