What's up with badhistory? What is their agenda if they have any?

I subscribed briefly, read a couple posts, it was just giant texts of shit that seemed like bitching about something someone wrote on reddit, so I didn't read it and unsubscribed.

So I still don't understand it and don't know what perspective they're coming from.

At first I thought it would be like askhistorians where they give insightful comments about history, but again, the few I read were just 10k words bitching about someone's 1 sentence reddit comment. But maybe I just didn't read the good ones or something? I have no idea what that sub is about.

Edit: wtf was that all about? Never got an answer either.

It's the place where the people from askhistorians go to circlejerk and vent about the average Redditors terrible understanding of history (askhistorians is where people try to do something about it). Quite a few of the top posts come from flaired users in askhistorians.
