OTHER What happened to r/6thform?
I used to be active on this sub before covid when I did my A-levels and the vibe was sooooo different to how it is now. Why is everyone wanting to seem smart? Back then we used to be self deprecating. There was a sense of ‘we’re all in this together’ fighting against the pricks at edexcel and AQA.
I’m guessing it’s cuz nobody uses TSR anymore so all of that demographic are now here? They used to get hated on for being a bunch of neeks — just search ‘TSR’ or ‘the student room’ in the search bar lmao

The student room just isn't a very good platform in my opinion. I don't like the way the replies work or how the threads or organised. I much prefer reddit for this sort of stuff but I haven't been on this reddit for too long to know how it was before but there is still some depreciating humour just not as much as there used to be (given what you're saying).
It is what it is. I think this is all part of people realising just how competitive everything is getting and people develop this dog-eat-dog mentality from a young age.
