Reddit did something pretty shitty this year and is the reason many of us are here.

its only group think in that a lot of the group independently think the same thing.

Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome.

This causes the group to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation.
