    The inside joke on the banned subreddit was that Citations Needed provided more insightful coverage and analysis of the world as it was to nascent and literate people discovering leftist critique of the world. The joke was about what Citations Needed was not. It was not exciting, irreverent, mockery of politics and media but coherent and thorough assessment and dissection of media, politics, power, and the history of bullshit.
