For sure. There can also be a problem of too little moderation, though. There is a balance to be struck between censorship of opposing views and getting rid of off-topic spam.
For instance, there were a few regional subreddits that were obviously intended to be for thing like “Which restaurants are worth a 30 minute drive to go to” and “Come to my band’s concert at the waterfront this weekend”, but had turned into basically nothing but off-topic spam wars about national level political topics.
The mods refused to do anything about it, so I just left because 90+% of the content was stuff I didn’t come to that subreddit to read. Keep that shit on r/politics.
