You know all the shit that goes on with Kiwi Farms, especially the gayops in the whole Ethan Ralph/IBS/Drama sphere? Or how ResetEra is loaded with nepotism?
Imagine that turned up to 12, mixed in with users powerleveling about everything and anything, and with the elitism of having to pay $10 to sign up there and paying again to get unbanned. I was never around SA but I heard stories of how shit it was (especially during the GG era), and much is oral history at this point. Furthermore, SA was also where your posting career became your livelihood, and this is why SA was bought because forum posters who valued their posting careers would rather hold onto it (these people would put SA usernames in resumes even). Even worse; goons loved to use the "dig up an old post you made to attack people" tactic.
To do a deep dive you'd have to lurk numerous Kiwi Farms posts and archives of SomethingSensitive/SASS but here's a good starting point:

The greentext story about SRS being taken over by goons is a great post on how bad that site was as well, and how it's culture was imposed on Reddit.
